Ronaldo?Ronaldihno?Eto'o?...

[R9onaldo]

Who the best this year?
It seems to me, that it Ronaldo.
All facts speak for him.
During all season (for him he was far from being all) he well played.
At any moment everyone were against him, but it did not prevent him to hammer...
RONALDO:)

[akibo]

naah, I'd say Ronaldinho, delivering La Liga & UCL titles just can not be easy..:D

[r9ronaldor9]

i believe it was ronaldinho, ronaldo was not him self this season to many injuries and to many distractions but i must say at the start of the season and just b4 he got injured against sociad he was begining to show that he is best striker in the world.

iam not a big fan off eto, in my opionion he is only good becouse he has messi and ronaldinho supporting him, any striker would score as many as eto if they had ronaldinho and messi suppoeting them

that's a bit harsh, he scored a lot for his former club as well.. he is a genuine striker, simple, not too much fuss, goalscorer.

You can is right on account Eto'o, but Ronaldo is a forward from the big letter.

Yaaa right !!!:D :D :D

[zahidmaqbool]

Well I think so Ronaldinho was better than anyone..

[bobkat]

You must be joking. Ronaldo or Ronaldinho? As far as impact on their team, it's not even comparable. Eto'o has shown poor form, I agree. But it's just incomparable between Ronaldinho and Ronaldo.

[cutiemor]

there is no Ronaldo at the moment. ronaldo is HISTORY.his era has ended. this shd be between ronaldinho, Eto'o and thierry henry for the world champ.

[eraser2224]

ronaldo did well when he wasn't injured.

[Tiranis]

You can hardly call scoring goal a match a NOTHING and a HISTORY.

In my opinion Ronaldinho is a great player, he certainly performed very well this year but sometimes he just zones out for the whole match and doesn't help his team at all—that's the bad thing, with Ronaldo you don't get these as often (though he was injured, so it's hard to compare). As for Eto'o, he's yet to convince me that he's any good. I suppose he's a good striker, but not that good... he's not Barcelona level, imo.

wtf are You on about?? do You mean performances like against Chelski in the first leg, where he seemingly didn't play much part?? If You'd open Your eyes & looked closer You'd understand that he actually was helping his team, coz of the heavy marking laid on him, he gave his team-mates more free space to move into. That's affecting the game passively, if You have ever heard of such a thing :D

and Eto'o not Barca level? sure, he might have dropped a bit in form, but he nearly won the pichichi award last term & he certainly didn't do bad this year either.

I can understand that Ronaldo is to You lot what Stevie or Carra is to me, but please, stop saying that he's like THE best player in the world (or just Spain), coz he isn't!

[rfelp]

How can eto'o not be on barcelona level? He was scoring goals even before he came to barca. Last yr he had about 24 goals in 37 games. You don't start for a team like barca if you are not worth your salt. If it was that easy I'm sure we would all be playing in the champions league instead of talking here :D Having a pure striker like eto'o also reduces pressure on ronaldinho. It's a symbiotic relationship.

I'd still take ronaldinho out of the three:) But eto'o deserves some props too.

[Unregistered]

who gives a shit about these 3? Zidane just retired.

[titeo]

imo, this spanish season should go to ronaldinho. he is just superb this year. winning the FIFA Player of the Year and European Player of the Year is no easy task. He simply is the next football legend; after Ronaldo :p

as for eto'o...he is nothing without ronaldinho, seriously. eto'o has a big reputation, but he isn't completely playing up to it.

ronaldo. i'm a big fan of his. i think his performance this season is fair. he was injured so it sort of affected his fitness level. same goes for raul.

lastly, i think barca will win the CL ;)

[bobkat]

I read a post here about ronaldinho zoning out. I have watche 36 liga barcelona games, plus every single CL game, plus every single copa del rey game.

This whole year, I have *never* (I can say this with certainty) NEVER saw a match in which ronaldinho played and he wasn't influential in the positive result. If he was on the field and barca won, he influenced it.

Zoning out? I have never seen him zone out. I have every single one of these matches, please let me know which one he zoned out in - so I can go and see perhaps when this was.

Contrary to my posts, I'm not a ronaldinho fan yet. Tricks and pretty play can come from someone like c. ronaldo as well. I'm very selective about being the 'fans' of players. Being the fan of a club is different. You are a fan of what that club stands for, it's history, it's city, the ground on which they play. Being a fan of arsenal is being a fan of highbury ... being a barca fan is love for the camp nou.

So when I say that there is no comparison between ronaldinho and ronaldo, I mean it objectively. I watched more than half of madrid's games this year, and without a doubt (healthy or not) ronaldo was not half of what ronaldinho was in terms of influence on the game. Not half. Zidane is perhaps the player that comes closest on madrid's squad.

[Tiranis]

I think comparing Ronaldo and Ronaldinho is kind of unfair, Ronaldinho is a playmaker, Ronaldo is a striker. I also never compared them as players, just one quality.

As for Ronaldinho zoning out, I'm not saying he's not active, but sometimes his play is below his standard. I'm not saying he's a bad player because of it, so don't get me wrong there. As I said, I love him and he's the next big (like HUGE) thing after Ronaldo (the "before knee injury" one). I just feel like he's got even more to him than he's been showing this season, that's all.

I still think Eto'o is nothing special... in a team like Barcelona a striker should be much more explosive and score way more goals, and be far more consistent. I mean, look at the Real vs Barcelona game in the spring—they were unable to score, because I think Eto'o is just not good enough... and there's many more situations like that, it's not the only case during the season.

[BicOfBorg]

Ronladinho is the best player, how can anyone doubt this???

hes put away ~60 goals in 2 years in all competitions... as a barca fan, im pretty content with that.

[jpm085]

Ronaldinho of course, If u see what he did over the whole season it is Ronaldinho. If u look at some games you may mention Ronaldo.

Ronaldinho vs Henry . 2 best players at the moment against each other.

[R9magia]

This is just a stupid comparison. Ronaldo should not even be considered as he was injured for most of the season. Ronaldinho had maybe the best season he has ever had. He scored more then ever before, gave more assists, appeared in decisive moments. This is not even close, we are talking about the best player in the world here, the only one that comes close is Thierry Henry.

[chauchey]

i have watched MANY of the RMA games, and almost all of the barca games, and i can honestly say that its Ronaldihno. Eto'o looks like a child without his parent when Ronnie isnt around. He's still talented, but he's forced to be something he isnt yet.

Ronaldo in the past, there might have been a solid(and well debated argument). however, from what i've seen, there is no competition there.

Ronaldihno all the way.

[Alpha]

What's with all the Eto'o bashing? He's consistant and scores many goals, what else do you want lol. Did anyone see eto'o s goals in the ACN? He played completely different than when he plays in barca.

[karmaf1]

Thats one useless thread..

[huoltra]

Eto is nothing without Ronaldinho..every one knows it.. Ronaldo is pretty good but this wasnt hes best season.. Ronaldinho and Henry has been imagin in this year... But after all with all respect and honor i would give that award to Zidane..Merci Gracias Zidane!

[Monne]

naah, I'd say Ronaldinho, delivering La Liga & UCL titles just can not be easy..:D

ok, let's not jump to conclusions after last year's final we know the favourite doens't allways win, even if they take a big lead :)

[R9onaldo]

Though I and not admirer Eto'o, but speaking that Eto'o without Ronaldihno anybody, not correctly.
Ronaldo one holds Real Madrid. When it(he) receives traumas Real plays badly.
All facts were for Ronaldihno. Ronaldo criticized even lazy. Even KING of FOOTBALL - Pele. But Ronaldo has come out from it situations the winner. He has proved, that he the best. That Madrid without it is possible (this my opinion, you can agree with him whether or not).

Yoda of the Jedi Council says:
Ronaldinho the best player of this year is.

I think trouble understanding Yoda you have, young padawan. Yoda "Ronaldo the best is" has said.

Ehem, anyway, I'm not good at this, so I'll get to the point: he said Ronaldo is the best, or not? God knows, he's probably using the translation tool on google :-P

[Supa]

Don't you mean Ronaldinho or Riquelme? If we are talking about best players in La Liga....

[wasabi]

Somebody said Ronaldo is history, you have yet to see Ronaldo in Fifa 2006 then. Ronaldo didn't get his fame just for being Brazilian. When he really wants to score, there's no stopping him. Ronaldo is simply AMAZING. I've loved him from the start. But this year his injuries are kinda affecting his performance. But once he came back, did you see those goals he made? 4 goals in 4 games for a Ronaldo fresh from injury and out of shape. That's pretty amazing to me.
Ronaldihno, he's simply the backbone to Barcelona. I have yet to see a defenceman that can really stop him from delivering OR scoring. Someone said something about him zoning out, you need to open your eyes a little and maybe learn a bit of soccer. Just because he didn't score in a game, doesn't mean he's zoning out. In case you don't know there were a few games Barca lost because Ronaldihno was either injured or he had to skip a game because of a red card.
And Eto'o, he's a really good striker. I can't say much about him because I've only started watching him since he joined Barcelona. But he's done quite a bit for us.

Why would anyone compare the three anyway? Every single player out there is unique in their own way. But I can't wait to see the two R's at FIFA 2006. :)

I know enough about football, thank you very much. But just to address your issues—I never said that I have problem with him not scoring enough goals, but in some games his impact is much lower than what his standard level is. I'm simply saying that there's room for improvement, I'm not saying he's a bad player. Geez, people, learn to read—I said it twice, Ronaldinho is an amazing player!!!! Got that?

so you are trying to say that since hes already better than anyone in the world by a fair margin, that he can still get better? i guess thats quite the vote of confidence.

Yes, I'm saying he can still get better. He improved this year, imo, and he can improve further. That's my opinion and you're free to disagree. :o
