kicker, i've seen a few Real madrid games this season..
is robinho the best player on his team?? ummm... maybe, maybe not.. ruud, sneijder, guti are all having impressive seasons..
has robinho given me any memorable big game performances... ummm no, not really...
is robinho more indispensable than a Kaka, Messi, Cristiano, Drogba (why is his name not in this poll) or Zlatan?? NO, NO, NO!!
Kenwyne Jones is arguably more indispensable for his team than Robinho- doesn't mean he's better.
anyway like i said.. the best time for this discussion is at the critical phase of the season.. not now when certain men hogging de glory by constantly boring dem shitty EPL sides..
lets wait for the latter stages of the champions league and see who steps up like Kaka did last year..
Like I said, I'm not necessarily a protagonist for Robinho as the world's best player... and based on what I've seen this season, Kaka hasn't really been memorable in BIG games as you put it either. C Ronaldo is red hot, no denying that- some would say he's virtually unstoppable in his league..... and opinions & arguments aside he's currently fully deserved of his rating....my point however was that those laughing at claims of Robinho being the world's best are most likely not juding him off the same level and depth of coverage & marketing hype that is showered on the EPL stars- which ultimately taints the quality of this discussion. If you re-read my post carefully, you'll realize that your rant in response to my post was unnecessary and barely responded to my point except by saying that you've seen a few Madrid games.
and i'm hoping you ent fass enough to believe that my dismissal of Robinho was founded upon any hype surrounding the EPL stars??
don't you see me pouring cold water over the claims for C. Ronaldo?? Did i not just allude to him scoring ah setta goal on some shitty EPL teams? Did I not vouch for Kaka and give my reasonings above?
Look eh.. in the last three days, I have watched 3 EPL games, 3 Spanish games, 1 Argentinian, an extended german league highlights show and some south american game between Nacional v Penarol.. The EPL brand of football is at the very bottom of the rung.
I just finish watch Phil Neville voom kicking the ball and pelting he frame at every opportunity against Tottenham.. wing backs just hoof it up the line at the first opportunity.. I then switch the channel to see Kun Aguero taking it to the Valencia defence.. Defenders interested in playing football and creativity in abundance.. (Mind you Everton v Spurs in England = Atletico Mad v Valencia in Spain). Not to mention the quality of football I witnessed from a mid table Argentinian side against Boca juniors.. Or the high quality of the german league.. endless touches..
So I assure you my judgements are never tainted by hype.
My opinion is that Robinho is not yet up there in discussion with respect to being the best player in the world.. You disagree well that is your position and you entitled just leave it as such..
this post is a rant.. not the last!
