What a player THE Ronaldo was Ed1. Looking forward to that player profile in particular!

{Ed001's Note - I loved him, he truly was a phenomenon.}

Cristiano has achieved more in football all together and is a better player though. Surely everyone can see that.

Imagine being able to write off £200m. Just giving it away. There you are, I thought I saw Neymar lying around here somewhere but I can't for the life of me. Ah well, never mind. I'm sure he'll turn up. Crazy.

As for Kelly and McTominay - Would they actually be good enough for England? The shirt weighs heavy on a lot of players that are actually groomed for the England national team from a young age, let alone a couple of randomers. Personally, I've never seen Kelly play so have no idea if he would ever be good enough, but I'd have thought he'd have to be in the prem by now to be in the running anytime soon. Maybe he'll get a couple of pointless journeyman type caps in his 30's or maybe he'll be snapped up by Burnley and become an instant hit. With McTominay will he actually be any good long term? It's all very well being alright in a midfield where you've got team mates 5 yards in every direction but what happens when you have to take some actual responsibility? That formation can make Ashley Young look like a good defender so that says it all. Also, he's only been around 5 minutes. When Jay Spearing looked like Makelele against Real Madrid we all thought we had a gem but looked how time and exposure shows your true standard.

Good on Kelly for ambition, but maybe O'Neil doesn't think he's good enough for England? And as for McTominay, perhaps Southgate didn't want to convince a player he wasn't convinced would have an England future either.

Cheers Ed, must take loads of rummaging trying to find all these snippets out. Where, for example, would you find out about Michael Essien's Indonesian career? It's certainly not from the Express or any of that malarkey.
