I've seen enough of him to say he is quality! Even though it's only been six months. I can't remeber the last time I felt this confident, with any new keeper we had, even after a year of settling in. I start every game now thinking we'll keep a clean sheet... when was the last time anyone even dared think that let alone it likely to happen? Your way off the mark... Reina is brilliant.

Adriano turns 24 in Feb & Eto turns 25 in March... but I suppose your right. I can't see anyone hitting Ronaldo's figures or even coming close to it.

The odd goal here or there by with the weaker foot doesn't make someone 2 footed/technically gifted... or are you a chelski fan in disguise? I don't think it's ever a question of English players aren't good enough... but some do buckle under cultural change hence not many go abroad. Many have failed in the past on that bases alone but their talent was never questioned as they come back & continue to play well.

I think this will vary from country to country as everyone plays a differant style of game. The spanish have always been more technical players than the english and I think it is something players are taught at a younger age. The english style is more physical & places greater emphasis on power & work rate. Why do you think so many players from more technically gifted playing nations can't cut it in the premiership? It's a totally differant ball game here.... (apart from our boys - cos they are that fookin good!) Even joe cole who is supposed to be "technically gifted" (I can't see it myself) has a lousy left foot too & he's supposed to be one of the better english players. It's just the way it is here... they drum it into you at a yonger age to play physical & they ignore other areas which make a more complete player.

True, but that still didn't stop them paying $30mill dollars(I heard it was £23million squid) for him back in 2000/2001 Anyways, still a legend who shares my b'day!

deffo... i thought his goal tally would've been much higher. I think Eto & Adriano will end up close to Ronaldo by the time they wind up their careers.
