Any takers? The man is nice on the ball good decisions and around the goal looks like he could score everytime..
Plus he resemble Maradona..
-
He was ONE of the best for the 2004 - 2005 season, he has to lead his team to titiles or perform like this season after season to be considered one of the best in his position. Midfielders like Ronaldihno, Lampard, Gerrard, Zidane can be considered in that elite group because they perform consistently season after season. This is only Riquelme's break out season.
-
Riquelme had a good season and played very well in the Confed Cup but that is not enough to say he is the best in the world. I think he has moved up to another level in his play but definitely not the best in the world. Ronaldinho, Zidane, Ballack are just a few who are better than him.
-
True true...all points well taken. Definitely a good player to watch for years to come..so many world class players ..so few from my land, T and T ...
-
ronaldinho hands down
-
best in de world is a strange statment....but juan roman is a class act....actually dat brizilian-born mexican zinha have some talent too.......alexander klegb...ex stutgart ....now arsenal and belarus
-
Most versatile--Gerard. Can score, play anywhere on the pitch, and have heart, with some touches and skill. Everybody want him. Riquelme is doing well at the moment, but he needs about three more seasons at that level to be considered elite. RIght now, he have Aimar on the bench for Argentina, so he must be doing something right.
-
Gerard. Another Beckham. Jus a lot of hype because he English.
Doh get meh wrong...he is a good player. Jus like Beckham is a good player. But he eh what allyuh makin him out to be. Jes like wha dey do wit Beckham. Jes like dey trin to do wit Lampard.
Of de English brigade, Rooney have de goods. De ress are good players....but best in the world? Not even close. Allyuh try watchin someting other than EPL sometimes nah.
-
ronaldinho is d bes
riquelme not close
if he was really better barcelona would have kept him rather than sell him to Villareal

Break out season? Anybody whos watch football have to know Riquelme as a big player for a while now.
Before Riquelme's move to Barca he was one of the biggest players in South America. Was the 2001 South American player of the year. Led Boca to Apertura and Copa Libertadores titles. Led Boca to victory against Real Madrid in the 2000 Intercontinental Cup.
The only glitch in his career was the move to Barca. He didnt fit in so they let him go to Villareal and now they probably wondering if it was a mistake.
Riquelme is not no new name. He had a good chance of playing in the 2002 cup if it wasnt for injuries he had in the lead up to the tournament.

Fuh real dwn. Check out dis link.
CLICK HERE (http://www.soccerclips.net/index5.htm) Go to de last video called Riquelme Nice Trick & click on download..
Is a zip file so once yuh download it, save it somewhere on yuh hard drive and den unzip it. Put yuh media player to repeat. Lil convoluted but worth it.
As a man say, if a man do dat to me....ah kickin he dong, ref give meh a red card, and ah retirin from football on de spot. But ah guarantee dah man eh playin fuh a few games well.
-
Dat youth remind me of a young Zidane. He smooth too bad and he have some little touches that does embarass man.
Arsenal go struggle to stop him, if they foul him is deadly freekick coming dem way. I really looking forward to this game. Senderos better tighten he jock strap becuase, Villareal players eh Juventus players, dem like to pick up and run at people.
-
Riquelme is a boss. It go be a nice match up between Villareal and Arsenal but Villareal go be missing there centre back Gonzalo for the rest of the season.
-
i just want him take argentina to de final. :praying:

Nah i agree that Gerad is prob the most versitile midfielder out there... wha allyuh think bout De La Pena? (cyah remember which Spanish club he wit now, buh he used to play for Lazio in 98/99) I see him play wit he spanish club bout 2 mths ago and d man look as close to a latapy as i've ever seen a player... great vision, dribbling and passing. D only difference to latas is that he bald head and white.

De La Pena is a boss........I think he plays for Espanyol
-
Wayne Rooney!

I remember in Maradonna Testimonial game. after he score. Maradonna take off his shirt and had on a Riquelme jersey.
ronaldinho is d bes
riquelme not close
if he was really better barcelona would have kept him rather than sell him to Villareal
The coach didnt want to play that kind of football.....Riquelme is not a fast pace football player...is more build up play.....so because they didnt keep him that dont mean anything.....
Ac Milan had both Vieria and Davids and they couldnt break into the squad because of Albertini and Desailly( when capello make him a midfielder). Is the coach plans and the the way the other players play. Maradonna say that he is the only player that could wear the number 10
-

There are a significant number of people in Argentina who consider what Maradonna says to be utter trash.......he is notorious for the same level of verbal diarrhea as Pele....I guess talking was never their sport.

Then can you explain why Makelele is not still with Madrid . for your info. Riquelme is still owned ( 25% ) by barcelona... any reason why he was not sold outright ? have you noticed that he does not play against barcelona for villareal ? Everytime Villareal progresses in the CL Villareal pays barcelona because of the deal they made to get Riquelme.
i agree ronaldinho is the best player in football ...for me the best midfielder is riquelme. give him some better players and we will see the best. there is just so much one can do with Forlan, this season, and jose mari !
riquelme had the most assists in spain last season...hallmark of a great attacking midfielder. he also had more goals than ronaldinho at the end of the season. more assists and more goals playing with a weaker team still did not get him up in the ranks ...but the WC is close ...we will settle it there !

he really is a class act, but to say he is de best takin it a bit to far, i believe once he has de right players around him he`ll really show his class.
de world cup is de man time to shine
;D

just read a quote from Tacchinardi who described Riquleme as Zidane 5 years ago. Not a thing to take lightly from someone who has played with them both. Zidane 5 years ago was the world´s best footballer !
-
Riquelme up there punching with Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Henry...
Only reason he didnt succeed at Barca was under that lame goat coach Louis Van Gaal.. When 3 quarters of the side were sh$*thound past-their-prime dutchmen like reizeger, cocu, overmars, kluivert etc... Also Riquelme is a man need to be running the show and they wanted xavi for that, so everybody find he was too slow, but he just didn't fit that system...
But anyone who saw him back in his boca days would know he is a boss long time now....
-
Ah was just reading all de threads, and ah wasn't going tuh post anything. But when ah see dat post about Riqueleme, ah had tuh jump in. Riquelme is ah good player, but he not in Ronaldinho class, doh get it twisted.
-
blasphemy!!!
cocu might have been past his prime a few years ago but the man is stil a good footballer, look at what he dis with psv last year (and to some extent still doing). kluivert was still doing it 3, 4 years ago, i don't agree with you there. as for reiziger, and overmars you may be right about them. as for mr riguelme being better than ronaldinho i only saw them play against each other once and that was in the confed cup final, i think the buck toothed baller won that round. that's not to say that one is better than the other, they have two contrasting styles

BIG TOPIC IN A WORLD CUP YEAR
Uprising 5 (jes off the top of my head):
Ronaldinho - killer, vision, touches fuh days
Riquelme - vision, will embarrass yuh ... might be maradona son!
Rooney - pitbull (nuff said)
Eto'o - complete striker
Deco - great decisions in the middle
Remember the term "Top" is relative folks ...doh leh we get too nasty!!
-
in his boca years he was one of the best ;D
-

still is ...you only have to watch the game tomorrow !
Sure he has the personality of a shoe box but when the whistle blows everyone soon realises who is in charge.
Just read the comments of Henri. Wenger, fergusson, Pelligrini, Pekerman etc. there is one name that they all respect...juan roman riquelme !

I like Riquelme, and I think he is enormously talented. But his biggest limitation seems to be that he has to be the focal point of whatever team he plays in. Look at how Argentina's football has changed now that Pekerman is coach. He has designed a team around Juan Roman. If he has a bad day, chances are Argentina will too. At Boca he was King. Now, I am no Van Gaal fan, but I feel his problem with Riquelme was that he was not interested in a team that relied too heavily on one player to pull the strings. That is one of the reasons why Van Gaal and Rivaldo fell out big time....Riquleme did not fail at Barca because he was not good enough, but becasue he is the kind of player who has to be the all or nothing. Just an observation...maybe I'm off by a mile, but I really don't see Riquelme playing in a team like Milan, Barca etc..where there can be as many as 2 or 3 top class playmakers on the field at the same time...any thoughts on that Jai
