when he was at Milan he managed more goals than Shola has in the last 3 seasons mate
I totally agree, but what you are forgetting is Serie A is a MUCH slower league than the premier league, the guy played with a brilliantly creative team where chances were laid on for him, he is not mobile what soever, and has glass knees.
He's still got pace man. And did you see some of his goals? He created them out of nothing as he has done all of his career.
absolutely
most of the goals he scored for Milan were very much a case of him getting the ball 20 yards out and making something happen with it tbh, and if you saw Milan last season or the season before they weren't exactly looking collectively creative.
as for pace, why bother man, people see a guy with a bigger build than the average footballer and write him off as slow, similar thing with Bramble. They dont realise that the more muscle there, there more force it can exert over a short distance.
Ronaldo was at his biggest in mid-2006, did it stop him raping defenders in La Liga for pace week after week? (goal against Barca at the Nou Camp case in point) did it f***.
What is it with him? only Klose managed more goals in the 2006 WC yet people were calling him the letdown of the tournament, absolutely unbelievable
What a bummer.
