Fair enough. Still a bit harsh to say he wasn't as effective at that age. He was there when Brazil played some frighteningly good football.

I'm happier Utd have Ronaldo than Ronaldinho any day of the week.

Bit gutted Real didn't buy Ronaldo this summer though!

I'd chose Ronaldo over Ronaldinho, based on attitude.

I'd rate Ronaldinho higher just now just simple cause i think he is more innovative than ronaldo. Ronaldo imitates skills developed by others but if you watch wee clips of ronaldinho, i think there is loads of things that he has sort of invented that have taken dribbling and ball skills to a new level. I'm not saying Ronaldo wont do the same, but for me just now it has to be Ronaldinho.

In twenty years time, we will be saying...

"Ronaldinho was a great player, so was Zidane. My Grandad use to talk about George Best, and Maradona was even better than the rest, but Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest of all time after Pele."

Ronaldinho is know for beig an aweful trainer and when you watch him play he strolls around all the time without any team running or work. Now this is all well and good as long as he keeps coming up with moments of magic. He may also be harming the length of his career by having the attitude he does (loves the booze). I don't think his ethic would lead to him being as big as a success as Ronaldo is/will be in the PL..... and I hate Man U

Never knew that.

Seems to be a recurring theme with the Brazilians. Romario, Ronaldo and now Ronaldinho.

Could be worse.... he could be a diving, cheating winker! Wink

All the tricks you see him do, are tricks he has seen on the internet and he practices them at training or after training - that's what he said in a recent interview.

Ronaldo is definitely playing amazing football at the moment and is a great attraction for the Premiership. 

Its a bit like Beckham 1998 onwards - do people not relaise the more you boo and slag off players with the right attitude like Beckham and Ronaldo, the more this will inspire them to be better.

I think that has something to do with his performances this year.

What amazes me is his heading ability - incredible how well he heads the ball.

Not sure will be saying hes the best ever tho.  Certainly on his way to the top 3-4 foreign players to grace the premiership, along with Cantona, Henry and Zola.

Probably wont be in the premiership tho in 1-2 years time which would be a real shame

Ronaldo is having a fantastic season, really starting to come of age..although i dont like to admit it.

Cant really compare him to the likes of Roanldinho yet,he is only 21 still, but has the potential definately

Got to say though i thought Ronaldinho was a bit of a let down this World Cup, maybe he just doesn't look quite as good alongside other top Brazilians

Another Brazilian to add to that list is Robinho - apparently he has been turning up to Madrid training sessions p*ssed this season
