Ruud Van Nistenroy Sucks.. He sits and wait for the ball. Half the time he is offside and he gets an oppurtunity he nicks it in.. Saha is way better.. Van Nistel should be called "Offside oppurtunist"..

I strike better in my league..

 

hey jayanth ... not fair .... that tag should go to ronaldo ..... he deserves it more than anyone else ..... i think ruud has had some really wonderful goals ..... n in the end ... thats what a strikers job is ... to tap em in at the earliest oppurtunity ... if he wanted to dribble .... he shouldve become a maradona type ... in the midfield ... dont you think ?

 

i seem to be an oddball in the forum .... i'm a huge slash fan ... n no one else sems to be one ... and a man u fan ... agaon no one else seems to be one ... and a italy fan ... alone here again .... lol ..... didn't expect to be lonely on those names ..... that goes to show what i know ..... no complains though .... we all are what we are right ...

 

i totally agree with u jay....ruud is nothing but an 'offside opportunist'..man and such a cheap diver too....if no one feeds him sitters to tap in his scoring rate goes down like anything..
@gnr'lies...dude how can u even compare ronaldo and ruud???ronaldo's talents have declined a bit after his injuries but there is no doubt that he is a GOD

henry is a fav though.... he can do anything(xcept heading a goal..he he..but with close ball control like his he doesn't need to)

 

I swear. .How can compare Rolado to Van.. Ronaldo should be seen with his National team more than Real. Especially his childhood days.. Compare.. Ruud is a SMall Boy.. He Sucks at this age .. He cant do much later..

Henry is the Best No doubt. He doesnt head cause someone may confuse his head for the Ball.. LOL..

 

Nah, Ronaldo is more of an Offside opportunist, than Ruud. Rudd has got some real skill.
When Ronaldo plays with Brazil, its always Rivaldo, who sets up the goal, Ronaldo just finishes it.

 

But then isn't a fwd all about finishing....
the fwds are meant to be opportunist and clinical finishers...why blame them.

but Henry is exceptional.....his close ball control is amazing..
Will post my dream 11 a little later....

cheers..

 

Ruud sucks and Talking about finishes.. Ruud never sets up goals.. He TRYS to finish..

 

He scores 9/10 times. You can't deny that. He is good at what he does, Ronaldo is not much better, he just has better team mates.

 

I think you are talking about the wrong Ruud Van Nistelroy.. Wait there cant be another?? 9/10.. Thats exageration at its best .. Anyways Henry scored better. Bergkamp is better too..

 

Saha is rubbish compared to van Nistelrooy.

At least van Nistelrooy can score goals all the time, who cares if he's an offside opportunist he scores goals, thats what he gets paid to do ... SCORE!

 

what is happening to this world????
So many nistelrooy supporters???
u just give the ball to ronaldo anywhere near the box....he will score...not to mention some magical twists,turns,fakes and shimmies on the way...
nistelrooy????doing those things??in ur dreams!!
And henry has shown time and again tht he can score from anywhere ...evn if he starts in his own half he goes on like a juggernaut and scores...
Bottomline is that ruud sucks and it is sacrilege to talk of him in the same breath as henry or ronaldo

 

i have to totally agree with Nebu.. Van Nistelroooy can score only when he can.. Henry scores when required.. So does Ronaldo..

Whatever Ruud Sucks..

 

I never compared Henry to Rudd, the former is definitely better, but its not the same case with Ronaldo. I think rudd is equally good, if not better.
