Re: Ronaldo
Christiano Ronaldo doesn't strike fear into his opponents in the same way that Ronaldo used to.
I think that there are some truly special footballers that will be remembered for many years to come.....Players like Pele, Maradona, George Weah and Ronaldo fit into that category (in my opinion).

Will he be remembered in years to come??.. of course he will.
He's on target to break all sorts of scoring records for Real, some that have stood for a very long time, having already made huge impact in England.
I also don't think George Weah or the Brazilian Ronaldo deserve to be up there with Pele and Maradona.... in my opinion.

Re: Ronaldo
Lionel Messi - Another great player in the top echelon of footballers.... Christiano Ronaldo, Raul, Bergkamp, Van Basten, Fabregas, Veron, Schevcenko.... I could keep on going.... in my opinion these are some of the best footballers the world has ever seen.
But I just don't think that any of them will make their names in history, in the same way that Pele, Zidane, Ronaldo and others have done !
Perhaps Messi will !

Best bit of transfer work SAF did, even surpassing getting Cantona from Leeds, was getting Chelsea to pay 15 million for Veron.
I could also add.... Fabregas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...just checked.. he's on Pele's list, but not the World Soccer's "top 100 of the 20th Century"
Fabregas isn't on either list.....

Re: Ronaldo
Yep - Veron had a shocker at Man utd... yet in Italy, and for Argentina, the guy was incredible!!!! not sure if he's on either of those lists I posted...

Fabregas isn't on either list.....

Fabregas, decent player, certainly amongst the best midfield men in the Premiership. Not elite class though, but he's still young and does have the potential to become truly top flight.
