    Probably the most skilful player in history. Made George Best and Messi look like fannys. But......

    this sadly.

    Messi is better, but Ronaldinho is more entertaining than any other player I've ever seen.

    Seen a video the other week with him setting up
    A goal with his chest inside the box! Another where he plays keepy uppy in a warm up kicks the ball in the air ... The player behind him thinks the balls coming towards him so starts to get closer the ball some how comes back to ronaldinho who then controls it turns around and then megs him and makes him look like a right *:smiley-laughing002:

    Not even Messi can reach him in terms of skill.

    Outwith Celtic, by far and a way my favourite player ever. Loved watching him play, he introduced things to the game that didn't seem possible. I'm still adamant that his goal against England was no fluke, but the goal of a great player.

    I'm sure I read somewhere that he's only on about £24k/week at Mineiro too but no doubt sponsors will be boosting that up.

    I might be wrong but I'm sure I read it somewhere. I'm sure he was on about £100k/week at Flamengo before he left due to unpaid wages and joined Mineiro on about £24k/week.

    Hopefully has another good season and makes the World Cup squad next year.
    Looking less likely now though as he didn't make their Confederations cup squad.

    He took a lot of his skills from past players like Rivelino and then added his own skills and adapted his own unique style. He is playing some great football again now. It would be nice to see him at the next World Cup.

    Exceptional, between 2003 and 2006 he was unstoppable, definitely in my top 5 players from my childhood with the likes of Zidane, Ronaldo, Bergkamp and Larrson from around that period.
