You are an "awipe" for rating those two ahead of mou. Enrique that couldn't do jack with Roma or is it pep that's still unable to get bayern to UCL final. Mou won UCL wth Porto. I as a barca coach can win la Liga with Suarez, messi n either hazard or Neymar in my team. Nuff said.

capricornian:
Surprisingly I also believe that the standard of EPL is nose diving rather than smaller teams getting better.

airmark:
They won 4 trophies in 2014, while dmcdad that i replied said madrid is yet to win ordinary treble. Are y'all for real?

airmark:
Are you sure? What about in 2014? Don't let me think you have joined the likes of dayo ooo.

Krasid:
Rakitic is more inconsistent than Ozil.Have you forgotten Ozil's world class assist for CR's goal against Barca that won Madrid the league in 2012.Rakitic is just a workhorse, nothing more.Stop the blind argument, Ozil is definitely better.

dmcdad:
It is now seeming like English coaches can't cope with Spanish football, at least taking cue from recent ones. Well, let's just wait and see how things go henceforth before running into conclusion.

weedtaker:
i don't smoke on a friday and sunday morning, i hope you don't too.. Anyways how is the other Mancunian doing in spain??
Cc. debroslink, homesteady, dmcdad make una give us update naa, how valencia de fare for una league?

raumdeuter:
Messi simply because Messi was the best at the time. if messi had retied and another player was showing to be better than, Ronaldo would have made that new guy his reference point
in 2007 was it Messi that was inspiring him to score 42 goals when Messi himself was still scoring 15-16 goals?
This season Messi was out injured yet Ronaldo is already on 21 goals shey na Messi dey push am from sick bed?

raumdeuter:
Ferguson instilled that in him that he is the best and can do better than everyone else, whether its Suarez, neymar, Kaka or Messi

Once its in a player, its difficult to take away from them

raumdeuter:
In Madrid I believe he would. There is no stopping Ronaldo.

His aim was to be the best whether its messi, Suarez neymar or Kaka. He just wants to beat them all

Ronaldo learnt how to head the ball, How to take shots, how to shoot freekicks he even bulked up massively, watched his diet.

he simply wanted to be the best at everything. even things Messi dont know how to do

raumdeuter:
Assuming Messi retired 2 seasons ago? Would Ronaldo stop scoring 50+ goals?

raumdeuter:
As at the time Ronaldo was winning Ballon D or in United, Messis career wasnt even that clearly defined. Ronaldo became a beast and Messi was still a very talented player who had a high ceiling

When Ronaldo was scoring 42 goals, messi barely scored 16. So you think Messi's 16 goals was what pushed Ronaldo to score not 20, not 30 but 42 goals??

raumdeuter:
Ronald without Ferguson would never even aspire to be the world best he would be content with nutmegging players and making people laugh

Just like what Quaresma is

Ferguson brought out the competitor in him.

Before Ronaldo had no problem with Rooney being better or just contributing to the team, Ferguson brought out the competitive nature in him where he could see himself as better than kaka, Dinho or Messi

Eruditor:
Rio Ferdinand in his autobiography said when United got CR7 2003 and Rooney 2004, himself and Scholes felt Rooney was better based on what they saw during trainings.

CR7 had talent but he read the game poorly: dribbled when he was to pass, couldn't head a ball to save his life. Was skinny and his goal scoring was abysmal.

Nothing about CR7 showed that he will be a prolific goal scorer. A great winger, yes, but not one of the best players to ever grace the game. That's where Fergie helped him.

Every other thing you saw of CR7 post-United, is as a result of having better players to help him in a "less competitive" league. The hardwork had been done by Fergie and even Mou said it on arriving at RM.

raumdeuter:
harior, spy360, debroslink

Did Wenger make Henry the player he is? Or was he destined for greatness regardless

raumdeuter:
Fergie already set Ronaldo on the path to greatness
Ronaldo won Ballon D or with Fergie, He scored 42 goals with fergie.
Without Fergie Ronaldo would be no different from a talented winger and trickster whose joy would be in the number of people he dribbled

Eruditor:
Fergie made CR7 who he is. Pep did same for Messi. End of.

TheGoodJoe:
Mourinho: It's hard. All last season I did phenomenal work and brought them to a level that's not their level, which is more than they really are.

nateevs:
Let me tell you what will happen should Jose take the job at United next season.
He will have 200% of the board's support. He will be allowed to spend 100s of millions.
He will spend 100s of millions of one-time wonders, work-horses and average Joes.

These average Joes will run into the ground for him. The will win the league. United fans will be happy winning the league again, being consistent at the top. Compared to where they have been in recent years, it's glory days again.

He will organize them at back the back. They will be ultra defensive and admirable but as always, very lacklustre going forward.
He will manage to convince them pragmatism wins. He will win the hearts of some.

The next season, the fights will begin. He will take a pop at Wenger and now Chelsea.
He will fight the media, the referees and anyone in between, the moment they lose. Some of his fans will still like him, some will stop.

He will park the bus against Chelsea, City, Arsenal. This is where the anger will begin.
Die-hard United fans will crave expansive football once again. He will not change.
He will not bring any young player through, the work horses will start to fail.

Blaming will begin. He probably finishes the season winning the league again.

Third season, full blown fight against everyone. The workhorses (the usual 11 - the untouchables) stop performing.
United fans demand better football to the eye, despite just winning the league.

More public fights. Blames. Name calling. Fans of other clubs start to hate United because of JM. People call them classless. United's PR suffers a blow. Boards' backing drops to 70% . . . .

Beginning of the end.

I learnt Ronaldo didn't play...


He never plays against top teams...Why?

airmark:
It's a shame to man utd not epl. Man utd's failure to qualify has nothing to do with epl's decline. If an epl team in 2012 that was n't in first four on epl table could knock the laliga champions, barca out, should we say la liga was on decline because of that ? Your guess is as good as mine. Use another point, thats ludicrously senseless.

airmark:
On the decline yet an epl team, man city destroyed a la liga team that flogged barcelona and real madrid, home and away.

rozayx5:
i doubt your a madrid fan. your just a cr7 fan.

Chelseafan1:
