Is Giggs better than Ronaldo?

At Football or shagging his brothers wife!

Why do poeple still try to reason with him? It was clear hours ago he's not going to change his mind.

Friendly debate, it's what the site was made for.

I'll never change my stance on the signing being a risk as a first choice fullback, no. Because it is.

I agree, in a way its not planning for the future but it sure is planning for the present.
Now thats not a bad thing is it.

And if Maffeo gets any time with him in training it's planning for the future as well...

Will you change it if he performs well for us or are you gonna be one of those like the Sterling haters that will slag him off no matter how well they do?

That's a bit unfair, I wouldn't imagine Ronaldo is much cop on that score, now if you were to say shagging his sister's husband....

Pep or Txiki ? ;)

Have Juve announced the news to stock market or does it happen before market opens the next day ?

Absolutely, I hope he's brilliant.

But ultimately it still would've been a risk if he's first choice, just one that happened to pay off.

If I win a bet at 1000/1 then yeah I won, great. It was still a big fucking risk!

For our 1st choice RB I agree but if there is another quality fullback coming in there is no discussion on the matter.

I'll still think he's a cnut no matter how well he does. I'm not compromising my integrity.

I think Yaya is a bit of a cnut.

Hyperbole? Possibly Alves 08/09 or 10/11 are close, what others compete in terms of complete seasons, both attacking wise and keeping clean sheets?

I saw plenty of Zanetti at Inter. Peak vs peak I'm 100% taking Maicon as he's the more talented player. Zanetti had the better career undoubtably.

How about Paolo Maldini 1988 - 1994?
Phillip Lahm 2002 - 2017?
Cafu 2003 - 2007?
Zambrotta 2006?

Maicon was a decent player, but he shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the ones above.

Does it matter, they were both f##king rags. That's like asking a mother which twin would she give up. Completely wrong on all levels.

Good point because others around him will also have that opportunity. Whether they learn or not is up to them of course.

The ugly one, obviously!

Got to be the ugly one ;-)

I know they weren't twins but Mrs Neville should have drowned them both at birth!!

She must have been extremely short sighted.

That's just a list of (admittedly great) right backs.

Did any of them ever put together a single season worthy of that Maicon year? The last 3 certainly not imo, maybe Lahm in Bayern's treble year? I'm not old enough to tell you about how good Maldini was in each of those seasons but I've seen enough of Maldini as a full back to know that his all round game (going forward as well as defending) wasn't as good as Maicon's. That's not to say Maicon was better than Maldini cos that's absolute bollocks but I haven't seen anything to suggest a better individual season than that one. Everything Maicon did that year was exceptional.

She tried, caught in the act on both occasions but she was almost there with Phil, just a couple of seconds longer.

Depends how much of your net asset wealth you place on the bet.
