raumdeuter: How did Spain fared in the UCL in the years leading to the emergence of Ronaldo and Messi? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MaziOmenuko: 3:43pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
lordfalcao: I'm not saying its the truth but its possible based on ratings. Keepers and defenders are generally rated based on saves, tackles won, interceptions, clearances and so n. If you consider those criteria I mentioned, you will see that a keeper as Heaton of Burnley or Robles will rake in more points because their respective teams are always under pressure and they are always making saves and thus getting more points. You will understand this better if you play fantasy football. Heaton presently has the highest points with 119 compared to Courtois 112pts. Courtois may be better if you do a direct head-to-head but based on stats, saves, blocks etc, Heaton dwarfs him presently. 3 Likes |

elampiro: Before the emergence of Messi and Ronaldo you are talking about pre 2004. Madrid made CL final in 98, 2000 2002 Valencia 2000 2001. Was it Messi and Ronaldo that helped them to make any of these? even the Barca who made in 2006 what was the input of Messi on it Atletico has made 2 CL finals in the last 3 yrs was it also Messi and Ronaldo? |

raumdeuter: I am talking about years leading to 2009. Ronaldo and Messi reached full potentials in 2008. Ronaldo was in Manchester United in 2008. I am talking of 2003 to 2009. Spanish teams did not dominate this period. |

elampiro: The years 2003 -2009 Was when Madrid and Barca bought Beckham Thuram, Canavaro Nistelrooy, Robinho, Ronaldinho Sergio Ramos, Dani Alves, etc meaning at that time Madrid and Barca still bought the best players in almost all positions and between that time a period of 6yr Barca won the CL |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by raumdeuter: 5:00pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
SIRcumalot: Barca and Madrid winning have to do with them either grooming or buying the best players and if every WPOTY for the past 20yrs played for either of the 2 that means for 2 decades they have consistently gotten the best players in the world. Nothing to do with Ronaldo and Messi If we drop Ronaldo and Messi who are the best players in the world? Neymar, Bale, Kroos, Suarez Modric Bayern best player Robben Man Utd best player Zlatan PSG best player Dimaria Arsenal best player Sanchez Juventus best player Higuain All the above are either their clubs best player or close to it All these above players are either playing at these Madrid or Barca or have played at these 2 clubs sometime in their careers |

lekkie073:I know Romero is capable. He's been solid this season. But the guy no worth being first choice Gk. Besides wéèdtaker made it sound like he could replace DDG. If DDG comot, then we should at least try to lure(which would be very hard) Donaruma comot Italy. That boy is legit. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by lordfalcao(m): 5:07pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
MaziOmenuko:I am talking of Robles of Everton not heaton of burnly.. The stats holds no water, everybody knows goalkeeper from the lowest team face more shots. Robles is not a goalkeeper from the lowest teams. |

raumdeuter:Who dey help you talk all this one. Will the Spanish teams continue to be on top for the foreseeable future ? history says no. we're talking about the supremacy of the Spanish league over Europe and you are mentioning only two teams leaving out the third one. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by raumdeuter: 5:36pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
SIRcumalot: No one will be on top forever but they will always be close to the top. They have the allure most players dream of playing for them they have the money. The moment either of those SPanish teams start looking at your player you are in trouble |

lekkie073: I don't know how a statement like "no be only romero" can suddenly be transformed into "romero is not good" but let me take it that you were posting from a bar! Anyway the point is this...romero was signed as a back up keeper and he is happy with the role! If de gea leaves someone else of a similar grade would come in and romero would still have to compete or manage his back up status! Simple! 2 Likes |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 7:29pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
All these Romero hate is unfounded, I would have him as first choice goalkeeper if DeGea transfers this season's end...Matter of fact I will have him be our first choice goalkeeper till 2019, he's no slouch and age is the only downside, If De Gea leaves then he's more than capable also our young goalie should step up what's his name self. Romero till 2019 then buy Donaruma because I refuse to jump on his hype train, he's superbly built for a teenager that's why everyone is hopping on his dìck, let's see how he manages for the next two years. He's the most capped goalkeeper in the Argentine setup yet some people say he's not good enough, Are you stupìd or just plain retarded_? 5 Likes |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 8:42pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
Guys, take a chill pill on this goalie issue... The Donaruma guy is good, we know but he''s still young and inexperienced, not forgetting how the media loves hyping everyone below 20...... Romero on the other side is good, taking into account that he has sealed his place in his national team (not just any team o, its Argentina) for quite some time, he has proven that he can step up in DDG's absence, Romero is experienced, he was Argentina's goalie throughout the 2014 World Cup and he got to the finals (where they lost, i'm happy about that b'cos i didn't want messi to lift that cup ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Anyone following the purisic news? Is he good? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by stylochime: 2:13am On Mar 25, 2017 |
ChristineC:h Its nt abt d goal or assist, its d style of play. Kante plays old skul Debfensive midfield- no flair no whips. Just strenght nd speed. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Funlordmaniac(m): 10:59am On Mar 25, 2017 |
Fussbot: Ivan perisic is a croatian winger that put in some superb performances in the last euros when his country over performed and he was a key man in the squad! I remember watching most of their games! He is good on either the left or right wings or as a striker, uses both feet, can head, has pace, can pass and scores goals! At 28 he is at the sweet age for most forward players! Not a bad option |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 11:48am On Mar 25, 2017 |

Oasis007:Well bailly and rojo are fit to play as centre backs and blind can also play in case of emergency. Besides, seems like a blessing in disguise cos Jones and smalling have been scrappy of recent. |
