Jeff Stelling: Bale is better than La Liga's Ronaldo

He does has the same playing style as Ronaldo, direct, fast, strong and kick the ball like a mule (but still falls over like a fanny at the drop of a hat).

But at 23 already I don't think he will reach the same heights as him. Plus Ronaldo is better in the air too.
 
The best players inevitably end up playing for the best teams.

Look how many trophies Alan Shearer can lay claim to as an example.

So is Andy Cole better than Alan Shearer because he won more trophies?
 
Why is he giving opinions? stick to reading out loud and repeating stats, clueless about the game

Anyone can give opinions (especially with the internet) and at least he works in football, Sean Penn was telling us to give the Falklands to Argentina a while back, as an american actor he is no doubt very qualified on the subject.
 
When did he have bad spells?

Giggs had couiple of seasons round about ten years ago when he got fair bit of flak from United fans. Was round about the time that Barthez and Veron were there. Have mate who supports United and remember him saying that fans were divided and rumours that foreign clubs such as Juventus were interested. Bad games get forgotten with time. He is a very good player but he has had bad spells like most other players.
 
I think he's absolutely right... Ronaldo hasn't proven himself in the Premier League - the greatest league in the world.


Oh wait :oops:
 
Just read it for the first time - what an abomination of a column.

And he gets paid to write that rubbish - stick to Hartlepool, Jeff.
 
You don't think Jeff is going down the Adrian Durham route of saying something very controversial, deliberately for the sake of response?

If so, he is in danger of disappearing up his own arse!
 
I think that Giggs is talked up a bit because of his longevity. He had bad spells in his career and United were thinking about selling him one or twice but that gets glossed over nowadays. He is still fit and quick enough given his age though.

Spot on

When did he have bad spells?

When did he have a consistent season? I remember him being dropped for Jesper Blomqvist and they wanted him sold around 2003
