Village Idiot Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I think James Rodríguez is a top top player but he needs to stay uninjured for a long period. IIRC he was also rather injury-ridden at Porto. Ronaldo is a shadow of his former self. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 There was always a chance that physical decline could hit Ronaldo really hard. Which would cripple his ego. Probably too early to write him off now, but he looks more rigid than ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've felt Ronaldo would be number 2 for it this year based on his numbers, but looking at that there really isn't a lot between him and Neymar/Suarez over the calender year. Could absolutely make the case for a Barca top 3 considering the treble win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably too early to write him off now, but he looks more rigid than ever. Didn't realise he was quite as old as he is. Had him down as 28 or 29 but he'll turn 31 in February. He's probably got one more big contract left to sign and it'll be interesting to see what he does with his last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious rumour is PSG as Ibrahimovic is out of contract at the end of the season. Could possibly see it I guess. A chance to still be the top dog as he ages and score a shitload for his last couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he want to see his contract out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially off the back of his job at Napoli where he ultimately alienated all of their best players (Hamsik, Higuain, Insigne) and managed to finish 5th behind a very average Lazio side.

His form was poor in the 2nd half of last season tbh, he's lost a 1/2 of a yard of pace at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 James is Madrid's most important player, without him there is no link between Modric/Kroos and Ronaldo. On the comparison between Madrid and Barca, the only reason they controlled the Clasico last year for long periods was because Busquets was not fit and they had to play Mascherano in midfield, as soon as he came on Barca dominated and created loads of chances to end the game. For all the talk of Barca's firepower and it is insane, it's very rare you get on top of their midfield even Bayern didn't really manage it. Mainly because Messi is a midfielder/forward in one and the midfield they do have is very strong defensively even if it isn't as good to watch as the one under Pep.

Stifler Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 For those who haven't seen Neymar's goal yet - http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/10061405/neymar-scores-stunning-volley-for-barcelona-against-villarreal Good goal, no idea why he went to do it when he had plenty of time to take the shot in the first place. Of course. The other goal (Bilboa?) was a better goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
