He was about to start again in russia or smth. Someone was going to pay much for him, and he has also a game in july I think with the brasilian team to end his national career.

D. Berbatov

Above

D. Villa

But Berbatov hasn't even got a starting spot by the team that out played them and Villa IS a starter in that team?
▼
Complex 5 Jun 2011, 13:10
villa hasn't been all that good for most of the season tho
Parent
▼
potty 5 Jun 2011, 13:13
I am confused as to why players like Xavi and Puyol are not up there. Fair enough there are good players up there but Berbatov shouldn't be top 10 and gomez again hasn't made a huge impact on the big stage yet.
Parent

Complex 5 Jun 2011, 13:15
kinda hard to judge if you dont know what the rankings are based on (clearly not assists or w/e cuz xavi, ozil, iniesta missing) so idk, I call bullshit tho. david villa should not be even close to top 10
Parent

potty 5 Jun 2011, 13:19
I dislike Barca so muc but they are missing some of their best players up there. Villa should be above Berbatov but NOT in the top 10 :Z
Parent
▼
Complex 5 Jun 2011, 13:23
i can agree on xavi/iniesta/messi up there
(tho as a madrid fan im having trouble agree'ing on benzema :D) but never villa.
Would really like to know what this stuff is based on. Not Castrol's style to do stuff randomly but this just does not make sense. Berbatov over rooney etc. Hummels over puyol or w/e. nothx

Why do you dislike barca? I can understand if you think some of the players are whiny actors.
Parent
▼
potty 5 Jun 2011, 13:35
A few players have an effect on the way that team is seen. Got way too many girly boys in their team. Plus I think dani Alves is a cunt.
Parent

Krosan 5 Jun 2011, 13:42
If you want to focus on that aspect then have it your way. All I know is that this barca is the best team I've ever seen in my life. And no I didn't see Cruijff's or Di Stefano's team, comparing those is a bit silly anyway. But I recognise the extraordinary style of play of barca which won't be repeated a lot in the future I'm sure. In the end the style of play will be remembered and not the whining.

tbh, I think peopel who try compare football teams from different generations a bit on the dim side. So much has changed within the rules, football used, referee's and pitch size.

I know they are the best in the world BUT I find it boring to watch them play, with the exception of messi, because there is no compaition out there for them. Woul prefer watching West Ham vs Millwall because THAT is interesting.

Krosan 5 Jun 2011, 13:53
Ye if you're looking for an exciting thriller of a match then don't watch Barca :) I like to watch them because of the technical superiority. The way they handle the ball and the Cruijff strategy always puts a smile on my face. Too bad some of them (Alves, Busquets and Pedro to a lesser extent) are whiny cunts. They do play marvellous football though so that kinda makes up for it.

Complex 5 Jun 2011, 14:35
that does not make up for it if you have to dive your way out of difficult games. sorry. they play decent football even tho 90 passes backwards isn't what i like to see (unless i need something to help me fall asleep). but their ego's (huhum latest xavi interviews what was that all about?) and their unfair play is the worst i have ever seen. What i hate most is that most ppl refuse to see it.

Their football is decent to see and marvelous in its efficiency.
Parent

Complex 5 Jun 2011, 15:37
That is your opinion and you are entitled to one. efficiency is not the word i would use tho.
Parent
▼
EnderWiggin 5 Jun 2011, 15:40
It is my opinion but you can not deny the fact that barca won so much.
You may not like their style but they did play very good football, that is why they won.

He's been good all the season except the last 2 months :p
Parent
▼
Complex 5 Jun 2011, 13:31
no he has not
he has been okay for some parts but not quite what you would expect
Parent
▼
Krosan 5 Jun 2011, 13:39
What would you expect from someone who's playing his first season with a new team coming from Valencia before that? It's not like Torres who came from Liverpool and only scored one goal after joining Chelsea :P
Villa scored 23 goals and had 9 assists in this season, quite good for a striker imo. Compare that to Rooney with only 16 goals this season and I think you can't say Villa didn't have a great season :)
Parent
▼
Complex 5 Jun 2011, 14:32
i can, he did not have a great season.
they had to post him on the flanks mainly because up front as a striker didnt seem to work out for him, great striker purchase! :p jk he did allright but not in the striker position so i'd rate him average this season, not what most expected. perhaps the next season

wasnt Berbatov top scorer for united and/or the EPL? :s

That doesn't mean anything. He isn't good enough to get on the pitch or even the bench most games now.

Carlos 5 Jun 2011, 18:03
he better than that south american kid they have running around now...not saying berbatov is good, but at least he's better :D

dont think it is season stats is it? looks like 3 monthly - next update 06/09/11, over the last 3 months for instance Van Persie has done quite well but he is nowhere near a top50 player let alone top5 in the world :)

edit: looking at player histories, it's a monthly thing not 3monthly

It's 12 months... Why the hell does noone bother to watch the explanation video?

still no sense cuz benzema has hardly played this month (and ronaldo scored a shitload of goals these last months and still behind benz?)
