Id say Messi is the tidier footballer and plays with his head a bit more, but Ronaldo has so much in his locker and the fact he's amazing in the air as well as a great free kick taker has to make him the world best. He's just so dangerous in every sense.

Seriously, Fergie would have him back in heartbeat.

Hopefully we'll get them in CL and he's remember why he loved playing for us.

I nearly started a 'ronaldo issues 'come and get me plea' thread when i read that article.

Then remember he is 1 year into a quite fantastically lucrative 6 year contract living in a far sunnier place than Manchester, and think, oh well.

Ronaldo is the best player in the world, easily.

Messi is a very very close 2nd, but Ronaldo is probably the most complete attacking player of the modern era.

Messi>Ronaldo

Barca - Messi, Ibrahimovic
Real - Ronaldo
Dippers - Torres
Chelsea - Drogba
United - Rooney

Hardly setting the world alight at the minute but yes he would be in the mix as he's a great player and marlo said forwards...kaka is a midfielder for me.

fact of the matter is, barcelona have about 4 out of the top 10 best players in the world at their club.

iniesta
Messi
zlatan
xavi

Real madrid also have at least 4 players who would walk into any other team in the world.

ronaldo
kaka
van der vaart
higuain


chelsea:

drogba
anelka
lampard
essien


now how many players do we currently have in our team who can match up to that lot....currently...

Rooney (as long as he isn't having one of his shoot like a blind man on a mechanical bull days)

Er, not got my King Karim tinted specs but Benzema would walk into any team in the world too.

Van Der Vaart, come on sparkles.
If we are talking current as in form at this moment then lampard wouldn't be there and neither would kaka. If your talking in terms of ability in their position then:
Evra
Vidic
Rio
Rooney

sorry, i thought were talking about forward players.

of course evra is the best left back in the world, but van der vaart would get into most teams, he's a great player.

How many of our Midfielders/Forwards do you think Chelsea, Real, Barca etc would be interested in if they were to become available. Probably only Rooney.

Not having a pop, think we have a selection of very good players but only really one stand out player.

front 6... front 6...didn't i say front 6?

we are manchester united, the biggest team in the world yet our only world class attacking player is rooney.

football the 'united way'
a club known for its attacking traditions yet nearly none of our attacking players would make the other big clubs (madrid,barca,chelsea) better...

some of you can stay in denial about it...but our squad lacks that star quality.
too many steady eddies...and once a squad gets full of players like that you get to where we are now?

obertan,valencia,nani,park...
how many of these players are going to have major part to play in the world cup?

anderson,carrick,scholes,gibson,fletcher..
how many of these players even start for their countries?

another question.
how many of our attacking players (midfielders/forwards) would attract bids of more than £15m and what clubs could you see bidding for them?

that's the level we are operating at now

Apart from theirs.
