Fenham Mag Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Not many like him around. The goal he scored against Bolton last season, I'm not sure if there are more than 2-3 players in the world capabel of doing that at the highest level. In the Premiership, maybe Hazard, maybe Nani on his day. In the rest of the world, Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar. Can't think of anyone else. And Catts of course. Ronaldinho back in his day, who I think is quite similar to him. Ronny is a lot better of course, stronger, insanely skillful and smart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 It's hard to remember Ginola now for me, but I absolutely worshipped the bloke as a kid, to the extent that I thought Beardsley to him was like Batty to Beardsley. Completely wrong of course, but he was the player I wanted to be. I was borderline depressed when Dalglish sold him and I hated Ketsbaia for a long time purely because he was number 14. Ben Arfa would be that player now, without question. Objectively, Ben Arfa is a better player than Ginola mind. Ben Arfa in the team that Ginola was in would be absolutely ridiculous. We're ok now though, yeah? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 It's between him and van Persie for the best player in the league. Whoa now. I'm as big an HBA fan as the next ignorant American, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. You are completely discounting Jose Enrique in goal -- the man has a 100% clean sheet rate in all competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Fancied a punt on him for PFA player of the Year, not even in the running: http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/pfa-player-of-the-year Some of the names you can bet on and HBA is not there Damien Duff 3 goals in 5. You'd be buying money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jamie McDonald Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Cheers. I also called it that Messi would be the best player on the planet when he was still a midget. Same with Ronaldo when he was in his mother's womb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
