Derry boy Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Obviously seen he is coming out of retirement. Oh my god what a player he was. If it wasn't for injuries he would easily be up there with messi and cristiano. For a man who was always a stone overweight he was rapid and his feet were astonishing. One of my favourite players ever to watch along with Ronaldinho, just a joy to watch playing the beautiful game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Pace, power, skill and finishing on a frightening level. One of the all time greats. His only negative was that fucking ridiculous Barnet he was sporting in South Korea and Japan 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shengus Khan Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 For a man who was always a stone overweight Nah. When he was at Barcelona (97-98) he was a skinny-ish lad and that was probably when he reached his peak. He was obviously still brilliant afterwards but injuries started to blight his career.

If it was for injuries he would defo of been up there with messi and ronaldo though no doubts about that. The class of the goals he scored were exceptional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 A natural talent ruined by muscle stimulants. If clubs hadnt been so desperate for instant success and had let him naturally grow he'd have been better, for longer, than he was. Which is a scary thought. The whole "coming out of retirement" is a mis quote anyway. He said he'll train hard and try his best to gwt into playing shape, but doesnt expect to do so.

Derry boy Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Exactly spot on. If he was left to develop naturally he would of been even better which is outrageous. One of them footballers who literally scare the life out of defenders before a ball has even been kicked. The amount of goals he scored making top class defenders and goalkeepers look stupid is crazy. Double stepovers etc on keepers lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
