some member in the Inter board, dug out an old old column, when gauch was still at PSG....it read

Ronaldinho wants Inter


My heart went into palpitations...before realising in despair the age of the document

You my friends have the brightest star in the galaxy and no galactico comes close

 

All Hail Ronnie

 

With the arrival of Ronaldinho, our rebuilding process started. And it hasn't stopped ever since. We've only reached higher and higher, with him as one of our most important guides.

 

when his career ends he will be easily the best footballer ever

 

Superb. Fantastic. Tantalizing. Irresistable. The whole of Asia would want to sleep with him if he keeps this up!

 

A long overdue thread. roud:

 

I thought you were gonna say that Lampard is betterp

 

Nah, stirred up enough mayhem last time with that statement. :hopefull:

 

I do not post much on here but to appreciate the skills and footballing passion of Ronaldinho you've just got to take your hat off to him!!!!

What a star...

 

Over the last decade only a few players have stood head and shoulders above everyone else

1996
1997 were all Ronaldo years, no one came close

1998-2001 IMO were Zidane years, although he made less of an impact and the gap between him and second best player was not so great, with the likes of Nedved, Figo etc

2002-200? Is Ronaldinho, his attributes

Physical: Incredibly Strong, Fast, Great Stamina
Football: His passing is like as if he has radar, and the passes he makes are honestly hard to find even when i have the full scope of vision tv provides, yet dinho finds it in the pitch....its quite scary

Attitude: The fact he has a permanent smile on his face, makes it hard to dislike someone who seems to have fun every second of the day. Aside from the Chelsea fracas, i have never seen him upset

2nd best players around: Shevchenko, Henry, Adriano (not of late though) Rooney, C. Ronaldo, Lampard (number 1? NO WAY JOSE), Kaka, Riquelme.....etc

But in all fairness no one comes close to even competing with the title i like millions around the world award him:


The Best Player in the World

 

Did i say he was skillfull?








a delight for the neutral
a terror for opposition and their fans
a man who transcends club/country rivalries
The model footballer

 

Indeed:star:

:thumbsup:

 

You guys are overreacting. He is great but he will be no way near the best player ever.
/P

 

NO where near? How great do you have to be to get near to the others. I mean Maradona and Pele were great, but they werent perfect. How can the guy not get anywhere near. I feel that these others get put on an unreachable pedestal for those coming up nowadays and that is not fair. Yes they were the best, but does that mean no one else for the history of football can ever pass them. I think it is possible that Ronnie could pass them only time will tell. Its not a definite at all, but at least i will keep an open mind and give him a chance to prove that he deserves to be there instead of writing off the notion as blasphemy before ever giving him the fair chance.

 

Carlos, you don't have to look beyond his profile to know the nature of that statement. :lazy:

Ronaldinho is great. He has introduced tricks to the world of football. He is very unique. However he plays to many matches where he doesn't show much. He almost always has to make the it hardest way. He very often lose the ball. He plays for a great team and though people may see Eto'o or some other player as the more important player in most single matches R10 ends up taking the credit for the trophy. Don't get me wrong he is great, just not that great. Moreover he has played for many years now. He will probably only have like 4-5 years left.
And talking about pedestal I think R10 is on it at the moment.
/P

One thing Argentina and Barca fans have in common is idea of everyone else to be biased against them.

Do you really think Ronalinho will retire at the age of 29-30? No wonder you think he's overrated. :tongue: Man that's one year after reaching his prime. Give the guy some credit

 

Vicsca Barca!
Visca Ronaldinho!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

No, but I think he will be quit different when he is 30. If you look at Zizou, Maradona and the like the were a lot better in the mid 20's than when 30. I think that for R10 it will be the same.

 

I hereby express my appreciation of our genius with the magic touch openly :star:

 

Merci Ronie......

 

Visca el Mago.

Maradona wasn't great at 30 only because he became a druggy - sadly! While Zidane wasn't a teenage superstar and became better by age until now when he is going dowhill again.

Ronaldinho is not at his best age yet. If he doesn't get injured like Ronaldo in his early days he will rule the world many years to come and pee all over Argentina the next decade, enjoy.

 

Just out of curiosity... how many super-stars(as in world-class players) have played for many years and actually finished their career in Barca... I can't seem to remember (m)any in the last two decades...
