Right now it's a toss up between the two, but I'd pick Ibra because I think he's a better player, even if RVP is in better form right now. He is lethal in striking the ball like RVP, but I think he's better at hold-up play, and at the sort of game Milan tried to play today where they just kick the ball up the field and hope their center forward can bring it down and create something. At 6'5" Ibra is a better target than RVP.Originally Posted by Professor YKK
What's the argument for van Persie *not* being the 3rd best player in the world? If Madrid or Barca could start the season over again do you seriously think they'd take a season of Rooney or Ibrahimovic over RvP?

I'm saying. CR is the biggest star in the biggest club in the world and when he left United he only wanted to go to Madrid. On top of that he has to be in the top 3 paid players in the world (not including endorsements) aswell so why in gods name would he go to freakin' Chelsea?
They are just crap made up stories to make it seem like Roman wields this ultimate power with his checkbook which isnt true. If they do paint this picture of Roman being all powerful now they can get tons of clicks on their webpage during the summer as they link anyone and everyone to a move to Stamford Bridge.
Xtapolapacetl: Why do you take it as a knock at Serie A though?
Yeah, I mean those are the next two names on the list. But I meant it more as a "currently performing at world-class levels" list. And Cesc has been sitting a lot and Ozil hasn't been consistently world-class IMO.Originally Posted by trunks206
^But like you said that's why it really depends on the style of play you prefer to watch in who you would choose as # 3 right now. We build from the back thus RVP's role as a CF in our system doesn't require him to be a target man in a knock it long and hold up play system. Plus Ibra is just soooooo lazy, as well as a %%+#%!*, at times that I think it takes away from his quality as a player in my eyes, but as you said both are great and many teams would love to have them leading their line.
Ozil and Fabergas (although he left to be a bench warmer) surely have to be on your list right under Silva solidified as world class playmakers/goal creaters.
Yeah he's beasting. Hope he continues to beast at Euro12.
He wastes incredible lot of chances.
I'm not sure never played football manager, so I won't be able to tell you.
