"He's an amazing, amazing talent and he's after the Ronaldos and Messis of this world and he's getting better and better"

I take that to mean he is in the next level down - might still be an overestimation of his talent but the headline is misleading

[Maravilloso Marvo]

I wish my career could be ended with a lucrative move to Man City at the age of 31.

Why is it that a massive torrent of verbal cliche diarrhoea is hereditary?

[Luis Anaconda]

almost." Important word that

[Brentwood]

when he scores the resultant penalty

From first choice for Brazil and the then European Champions to Pablo Zableta's understudy at City http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/shrug.gif

[JJSB]

he's very pleasing on the eye going forward. That can get confused with actual defensive abilities.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

And a lucrative move to Man City in the twilight of your career is hardly a bad way to end as though a glorified left back had ruined it.

I like Buck though, twiffik cuwwency

Managers talk *******s H, we both know that.

That's another currency of 'Arrys.

before he made his breakthrough?

[Luis Anaconda]

[PSRB]

I don't think he even got short-listed for the Ballon D'or

Not saying he's as good as either but certainly had a season to be compared at that level, don't think you can say that about Bale

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Look, it had nothing to do with Bale and that game, alright?

A player who on the basis of 1 magnificent season in which some will say - and argued vehemently in the summer - that he peaked.

Bale otoh will arguably improve and is years off his peak.

Truth is neither of them are even close to the Messi/Ronaldo duo but it all comes down to the original assertion of managers talking sheer *******s.

[Brentwood]

he tried to offload him on loan to clubs like Birmingham but got lucky when no-one took him.

Can you check if Wenger's comments at the time were specifically related to the winner of that award or if he was just talking *******s as usual?

[PSRB]

with a shred of football knowledge, Messi, Ronaldo or RvP in the side, you wouldn't have taken RvP
