According to SSN - Roman put R10s brother in a hotel for the night, apparently they're in talks about trying to bring 'Dinho to The Bridge.

Of course he is young, he has enough time to improve (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... I don't think United wait for CR to turn it on for them to clinch a win. I think they have a pretty good team with players like Giggs and Scoles, they have a very balanced attacking unit. And United's record now doesn't prove anything, look at how Barca are performing with their 'fantastic 4' ... Plus, it is just the beginning of the season ..

When u look at R10, forget about Henry and this season ... Look at Barca 2 years ago, he was exactly what Kaka' is for us today .. R10 was Barca ! Sure he might have taken the bigger spot in the limelight than CR, but that is only natural as he has won much more than CR. Maybe in 1 or 2 years CR (Maybe this season..) would have matured and become much more experienced .. Then you can evaluate him to his fullest.

Or if u still disagree that he isn't a complete player, look at how Kaka' performed in comparison to CR in the past 3 seasons ... Kaka' was much more effective.

On the other hand, it is very difficult for me to draw this line of a difference as I am entertained by CR when he plays for United and Portugal ... Still, I like the more experienced players, players whom have performed at the biggest of stages .. So it is nothing personal, just my opinion - as I would take effective and well experience players over youngsters even if they show promise.

Seriously, I don't see Ronaldinho as a player that Mourinho would like to coach. That's why in many interviews he always said "To chose a player in the world I'd like to have? Kaka', no doubt."

Never said Ronaldinho. Too lazy and pony-tricking for him.

There's not a better player in the world than Kaka at the moment and I try to say that with my unbiased hat on! So effective in the CL last season, and 2 already yesterday he is the one who should be given World Player of the Year, certainly at this stage.

That's in the main why I like Ronaldo, he's entertaining. It's good to see a player happy to take on others, for too long in the EPL the only way to get around players is pace (Ronaldo has that too) but he just likes to 'take them on' as it were. I'm not a fan of La Liga really, although I did enjoy the ending to last season so I guess I'm a bit biased! Still if Milan signed either of them I'd be extremely happy!

I rather like Cristiano Ronaldo as a player. He's one of the few players in the EPL who has really tremendous technical skill (don't hit me, Kurt!). The tricks are fun to watch too, but tricks will only get you so far. Remember the CL semi in Milan. CRs first touch of the ball was a backheel to....Oddo. And then there was him trying to move the ball and getting dispossessed by Seedorf.

[bigmacmtl]

No ... I truly want to know what ur opinion is; are u honestly comparing R10 to Alves ?!
Alves ?! He is worth tens of millions ?! u gotta be kidding me ... Why ?! I mean, Cafu in his prime wasn't worth that much !!! And we r talking about Cafu here

well it's hard to compare cuz cafu was in his prime 5-6 years ago so since then the value of players has inflated.

[Portman]

But Alves ?! IMO he has been too hyped up. He is good, but not Milan quality good. And u don't have to agree with me ... Cuz he really isn't that important of a player for me in the first place

You don't follow Sevilla do you?

He's by far the best RB in the world who can play also as RW, RM. He's as good as Cafu in his prime IMO, although he's only 24.

I agree with you on Ronaldo there!

But I won't have to put up with him for long. This season his productivity will go down. Players will stop trying to win the ball, and just foul him instead, he'll soon get bored of this and leave.. Hopefully. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Kurt and I are agreeing.

Yes I did follow Sevilla ... And he is the perfect tactical tool; where u can play him in several positions on the right. But, he has yet to prove himself at a top club ... i.e. he lacks experience.

Look at Cicinho, before Madrid people were going crazy ... Now look at him, average at best !

Cafu on the other hand is a double world cup winner amongst his vast gold medal collection. He is of the highest quality ! Cafu is Cafu.


Alves, has yet to prove what he can do. Personally, I don't see a problem with him being in the Sevilla team on Friday ! I think it would be great to once again prove a point ! You bring him up against the likes of Kaka' or Seedorf and I will guarantee you he will be begging to be subbed after getting owned 12 times in the first 20 minutes (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)

Sure he has the speed and all that 'flair', but tell me when did he really turn it on against teams like Milan or Juve ?! IMO, he has a long way to go, cuz Spanish defenses aren't exactly Serie A quality (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) . Maybe in time he will mature and come clean, but as of now, he really isn't worth all this hype IMO.

oh and the best right back in the world is Oddo (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

What did Ronaldinho and Robinho against him? Remember the last UEFA SuperCup when he was the man of the match? Remember last week's in Bernabeu vs. Robinho? And in Sevilla, the first leg?

Please. He plays in La Liga. Not the Swiss league.

U got anything against the Swiss league !!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

It's bad enough they have no army, now ur taking a swipe at their league !! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

In any case, I never said he was cr@p ... All I said was, he doesn't deserve all this hype.

I didn't watch the super cup ... And what is ur point ?! I mean, I already said that he isn't that important for me to discuss in the first place ..

p.s. What is the problem with me not rating this player ?! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) IMHO, he has got a looooong way to go to reach Cafu's status.

[bigmacmtl]

How has it inflated

well cafu in his prime would probably worth 20-23m 5-6 years ago but today i'm sure he would be worth a good 35-40m (close to what sevilla is asking for alves)

Just a bit weird not to rate the best RB in the world for what, maybe 90% of the people... even dst. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
