Ronaldo Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Robert, in a lesser team, scored more goals and created more. He basically transformed an average team into a good one with his magnificent productivity Like what Ginola did with Spurs, really. not really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Ginola's goal record and productivity dont even compare to Robert's man, honestly, how can you people have such short memories? Using the same logic, would you say that Lampard is a better midfielder than Xavi? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the same logic, would you say that Lampard is a better midfielder than Xavi? i liked ginola more as a player & think he had a better all round game but robert was one of the most direct wingers i've seen play - it's like he had 2 gears, stop and attack the fuck out of them i was probably one who underrated robert looking back, thought he didn't work hard enough - well we got damien duff to replace him and he works hard apparently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say that Lampard has been a better midfielder for Chelsea than Zinedine Zidane was for Madrid, given that Lampard for Chelsea has double the goals and assists Zidane has in the same number of games for Madrid?

Zidane is an exception, he's down as one of the best players of all time With wingers it's different though, they're judged soely on what they can create in the final third.

Zero Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Robert. Or in other words, for us, Robert is preferred. For teams like Barca Ginola is preferred because they require players to have high level of performance consistently while for us we need a winger who can finish off any opponents in the world. In this sense Robert's hit and miss magic is what we need most, and it's proven during his era in Newcastle. Still remember his sting of magic during Souness time? It's purely unbelievable. Personally I think it's very difficult to say which one is better. Too close for me. Just that in the end of the day Robert fits us better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 In another life Robert would have made one hell of a striker, his finishing was absolutely clinical He was lethal in front of goal, with our current lot of midfiielders who couldn't score in an empty net, that's not something that should be under-valued.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 In another life Robert would have made one hell of a striker, his finishing was absolutely clinical Always wondered whether our title challenge that 2001-2 season might have kept going a bit longer had Robson went with Robert alongside Shearer rather than Cort for that run of games after the Sunderland match when Bellamy got injured.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Even with Ginola, Spurs were still a mid-table club who flirted with relegation along with us in the 1997/8 season, whereas along with Bellamy, Robert was one of the main factors in transforming us from a mid-table side, to a side capable of pushing Man Utd, Arsenal & Liverpool.

Keefaz Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I think Robert's one of the only players I've seen who could put in a dangerous cross from almost anywhere after the half-way line. Unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I prefered David(e) but Robert was the bigger player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Zog shouldn't be anywhere near this list. Anyway my vote goes to Ginola - obscenely talented footballer, Robert could only dream of doing some of the stuff Ginola did & could never destroy a full back like Ginola could. Don't get me wrong; Robert was fantastic for us but he was also selfish. Daveeed was pure class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
