Where does Magico Gonzalez rank in the worlds best?

What Condor said, is that in Peru, Sotil & Cueto are widely recognized as the most talented & skillful players.
More than Cubillas himself (in talent).

 

You still going to Harvard, bro?

 

Lol that luck rebound goal he got? If anything, you can thank #11 for that goal. He is the player that ran past everyone, made the play and took the shot.



1. Pele
2. Maradona
3. Beckenbauer (videos?)
4. Di Stefano (videos?)
5. Eusebio (videos?)
6. Magico Gonzalez (fly to Argentina and question Maradona about it)
7. Johan Cruyf
8. Zidane
9. Big Brazilian Brawl here between Romario, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho
10. George Best?

Lmao.. You have him ahead of Ronaldo and Zidane?..

 

Do you know who else is all of this? Didier Drogba. He stopped a war and led his team to two World Cups. Not just that, but he was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Did Magico achieve that? Didn't think so.

This is one of the most biased threads I've ever read. It's equivalent to Balotelli saying only Messi is better than him or Bendtner saying he is one of the best strikers in the world. It's absurd.

Maradona also said that Messi was better than him (fly to UAE and question him about it). And he has much more quotes about his skill from much more important people than Kiko Narvaez and what's his name? Ah, David Vidal. Plus, Messi has won more awards than Gonzalez. Yet you don't include him in your top 10, where he would surely be ahead of Gonzalez based on your criteria.

I hope you don't actually believe all of this Magico nonsense, in which case: Quit trolling.

 

Not everyone who posts facts about a certain player is a 'fan'.

 

You obviously feel very strongly about the quality of Jorge Gonzalez, but every time someone tries to say something to the contrary, you say, "Maradona said he was top 10, who cares what some guy on Big Soccer thinks." I think that if you don't care what somebody on Big Soccer thinks, you don't post a thread about it on Big Soccer, and you especially don't name it "Where does Magico Gonzalez rank in the worlds best?" when you already seemed convinced about the answer to that question.

 

Aguilucho, Magico, while an all-time great, is not top ten. See my personal list, done after extensive analysis, below:

Maradona
Pele
Moreno
DiStefano
Puskas
Cruyff
Garrincha
Schiaffino
Platini
Eusebio
Zico
Best
Beckenbauer

 

Hmmm....you do make some good points. I may have to revisit my notes for this ranking soon.

 

He is making some good points???
ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDIN ME?

Worst poster I've ever seen on the internet.

No you are not supposed to believe anything, but we as a society basically agree what it takes to be considered one of the greats in football, and these are winning either world cups, european championships, european cups, even copas america, and winning leagues in the top 4/5 leagues in europe, did this Jorge Gonzalez ever won any of that? because both Platini and Cruyff did, they won leagues and european cups, and Platini even won the Europea Championship, and both did extremely well in the world cup when they played, again something Gonzalez never did.

Gonzalez from your accounts only seem to had managed to win the odd game here and there, he as you said managed to beat Barcelona and Valencia but did his team managed to finish ahead of Barcelona or Madrid in the league during his time at Cadiz?

 

the problem is that it seems "respect" means agreeing with you, and "ignorant idiot" means not agreeing with you.


The two questions I'd ask are these.

If he was so great then why is he not commonly regarded as one of the all-time greats?

If he was so great then why did no half-decent side want to buy him?

The fact that he spent the bulk of his career playing for a very mediocre Cadiz team is pretty telling, as is his strike rate in Spain. For a striker to only hit 59 goals in 192 games is pretty woeful.

 

Gonzalez was not a striker, more like a support forwar/playmaker. Still, I am not convinced he is top ten or twenty ever...but I rank him, along with Maradiaga and Sanchez, as the best Concacaf players of all-time.
