      Suarez can’t be top 3 when he has 27 goals in the Champions League.

      I remember arguments on r/soccer I had years ago where people told me Gerd was far better than Ronaldo because he scored more goals and that made him a better player.

      Zlatan and Shearer on par with Suarez, Bati-gol, Henry and van Basten ahead.

      And none of us saw Stefano play but…

    It should be pointed out that Endrick reached 56 games younger than the other two, tbh (which also led to him playing fewer minutes per game). I think both were already over 18 at that point, and Endrick is 17 and 4 months.

    Ronaldo was so good that as a youngster our team would organize multiple trips to see psv play.

    The next in line will be signed before he scores or assists single goal and the one after that before he is even born.

    Ronaldo was phenomenal. I remember as a kid, watching one of the 2002 World Cup games (Brazil vs Turkey, semifinals). A hard game, and suddenly he gets the ball and carries it from midfield to close the area and shoots it in a fantastic way. One of the most brautiful goals I’ve ever seen.

      Keep in mind this was a shell of what was prime Ronaldo. And still he dominated the WC.

    Pato left Brazil with only 27 official games, but he scored 12 goals and had 1 assist, all of that before turning 18. Unfortunately his career wasn’t what we expected, but his first professional years are also really impressive.

    Endrick is way too raw to be a starting striker for RM. I hope Perez signs someone so we won’t have the same problem we are having now, only one striker in the team, Joselu this season and Endrick in the next one. Endrick should mix Castilla games with some first team appearances.

      You have to take into consideration that Endrick barely played in, like, half of these 56 matches. His evolution in the last months have been pretty evident, I think he’ll definitely ruin many defenders’ day when he arrives at Madrid

      Still mad they passed up on Kane, would’ve been perfect to allow for Endrick to develop alongside and eventually replace him once he declined.

    For all of you who didn’t see Ronaldo play … Man … guy is the best 9 I’ve ever seen. All he missed was being an aerial threat

      The only striker I will say was hands down better than Shearer. Ronaldo on form was unplayable. Youths these days just don’t get how good he was.
