I completely agree about Messi and Ronaldinho.

Ronaldo is debatable, but i'd take your point, because he hasn't played as an out and out winger for many years now.

Robben is in the debate, i think he's a much superior player to Bale. Ribery too when he's fit and on form. I'd include Nani ahead of him too, you could make arguments for players like Di Maria, and i guess Malouda is better right now too, even though i was never too fond of him. Not taking anything away from Bale mind you, i think he's underrated here, i think he's quality and i think he's one of the best wingers in Europe.
I think you got me wrong. If I were to chose between Robben of last year and Ribery of....I don't know 2 years ago, I'd take both ahead of Bale, especially Ribery. Both are more proven and versatile, whereas Bale is one-dimensional, yet unstopable. But we're talking about the now and Bale is simply out of this world. He was amazing last season and now he's beyond description. Both Robben and Ribery are nowhere to be seen this season with injuries. This year Bale is the best winger in the world, or what I consider to be a winger anyway. No one comes close. The guy has a long way to go ahead of him but to disregarded his world class performances so far is ridiculous.

Ah ok, makes a lot more sense if you're talking about this year alone.

Wouldn't be so far fetched to call him the best in Europe. Even though i'd consider both Malouda and Nani to be in better form than him this season.

Seriously, the anti-EPL stance on here is ridiculous. Bale isn't even English and I don't give a fuck about the Premiership. I would support any Italian team against an English team except for Inter but at the end of the day I'm not biased and I can see that Bale is a fantastic football player. If he's not the best out-and-out winger in world football right now he's definitely the best left sided one. Krasic is his only real competition. Nani has been in great form this season too but he's a piece of shit.
Bale and Nani have been at that level since the latter stages of last year. Krasic has performed at a close level but for shorter time (this year only). Lets see who will continue on this form and who will not.


Everyone suddenly forgot about Jesus Navas who was unbelievable all last year.

Robben of last year is by far superior to ribery any year. Bale's current level is also better than any ribery. Ribery is over rated because of his tricks and pointless dribbling. He is the french Joe Cole only with less injuries.


City's Johnson is pretty good and so is Silva. There is also Robben, Jesus Navas, Malouda, Nani all I consider better than Ribery.

So did Lampard. Half of those being penalties.

And Bonucci outscores Amauri. So what does that make Amauri? Utter shit, that's what.

Goddamn stupid arguments, always were your forte when you get lost in the debate.
Wrong. Ronaldo and Messi can be considered wingers because they play there. You brought up the number of goals they scored, like it really means anything. It doesn't, and neither does the fact they cut inside. Robben cuts inside all the time and when he does, he's successful.

So in short, you're full of bullshit.
