Torres has scored the odd outstanding goal but for me the majority have been tap ins due to someone else's work or good link up play. Ronaldo has been fucking amazing and to add to that he's had some pretty decent luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassplayerjj 0 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'd say Ronaldo's performance last season but this season especially, has been as impressive, if not better than Henry's between 02-06, and his season isn't even over yet. Frightening to think he is just 23 also =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_cann 0 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Torres has been great and I think an argument could be made that his first season compared to Ronaldo's first season has been a much better. But to compare them this season is ludicrous, Ronaldo is quite clearly the best player in the league and world at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassplayerjj 0 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) I'd have Berbatov over Torres every time. tbf Berbatov would maybe work well with the two littlens as he is bit like a younger and quicker version of Viduka bit far more of a pussy. Torres for his first season the prem has been different class, no-one expected him to do this well in his first one - it really is amazing how CM rarely lies, remember when the lad was 18 banging them in for my Juve team =) mind you, probably had more than a bit of help from the ref back in those days =/ Edited April 11, 2008 by bassplayerjj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 put it this way, torres ids the best centre forward in the league. ronaldo is the best wide forward in the league. both so far would get in to my european top XI. no doubting that.
