Gareth Bale.

I tell you all one thing. Liverpoolphil is the most blinkered poster on the GM Forum when it comes to anything or anyone connected to posters football teams.

Of that there is no doubt,none at all.

Suarez up there with Messi and Ronaldo? Jesus Christ Phil do you really believe that?
 
Think I'll throw my tuppence worth in.

I don't think Saurez has quite reached the Messi / Ronaldo level just yet, but I've no doubt at all that he will. He is without doubt the best player on these shores at the moment, and as Liverpoolphil points out has been doing it at international level as well. Only one gripe about him (and Ronaldo tbf) is that he does tend to have a problem keeping his balance at times, although he sure isn't the only one.

Yes I do believe that.
 
And none of that changes my opinion of Beckham - that's quite simple really.

Gerrard is irrelevant to my opinion and I'm not sure why you are continuing to bring Liverpool into it - it's irrelevant I'm afraid.

And you wouldn't cosider re-appraising the situation when you appear to be in an overwhelming minority?
Could you not possibly view your opinion as being, possibly, slightly misguided ............................ or just wrong?

Why would I consider changing it based on a handful of people on a forum !!?

Don't be so ridiculous - my opinion on Beckham won't change regardless of what people say.

Got to give him 10/10 for consistency tho.

And several England managers, Sir Alex Ferguson and managers of Real Madrid and A C Milan.
I didn't realise they were all wrong.
I bow to your greater knowledge, as I'm sure the above do too!

P.S. Arrogant isn't the word, the word is ................................ any suggestions? :whistle:

When did I say those managers where wrong

Beckham was a decent player - good at set pieces and good at crosses

I really cannot see what the problem is with having that opinion.

Im sorry I don't rate him as highly as others did - not sure how that makes me arrogant or delusional or worthy of people attacking me on a forum.
 
There isn't a team in the world that would take Suarez over the other 2 if the offer came up

But then no one has said they would nor has anyone said he is better than them

But no team would turn down Suarez also.
 
In your opinion :thup:

And the opinion of many people actually within the football industry.
The most recent Ballon D'or was voted on by 1,623 people within the industry, most of them are players and managers.
Ronaldo came 1st with 27.99% of the votes, Messi came 2nd with 24.72% and Ribéry was 3rd with 23.36%.That's over 75% of ALL the votes!
Suárez ........................ now he came into the equation in 19th place with a mere 0.39% of the votes.
This was based on their performances during 2013 and was announced just three months ago ................... reasonably up to date I think.

I still don't beleive he is even close to either Ronaldo or Messi. Hey, just an opinion.

Suarez isn't in the same class as Ronaldo,this isn't my opinion it is fact. But he does fall into the same class as a human as Joey Barton & El hadji Diouf.

Beckham never won that award (but Michael Owen did)!

Does that mean Beckham wasn't over-rated, just not 'great'? :whistle:

:rofl: :rofl:

Frank Lampard once came second in that award

Its an award voted by a small percentage ( over 50% of voters didnt vote )and Suarez was never going to get a look in due to his ban last year - doesnt stop him being up there with the two of them in terms of ability and this season has shown it on the pitch.
 
I think medals on the table does the job. Ronaldo loads, Messi even more. Suarez a league cup

Are you implying lampard is no good either? Jeepers!!
There's also an online vote each season, last year MILLIONS and Suarez didn't feature? Guess they're wrong too?

i do presume that if Suarez were ever to win the balon dor you'll not gloat. What with it not counting an all......
