Great, nice to see you back anyway (though I understand having a break - I post here too much myself I'm sure lol and it can get a bit...

Or maybe prime form Van Basten was a C.Ronaldo+Sandor Kocsis hybrid, more like? Better team play, more reliable touch, less wild shooting, less...

I think if there was a hybrid Rivaldo+Iniesta player for example, then that would really be a sensational player! Although I guess a hybrid...

Ah yes, I remembered you'd posted a reference to a poll Moreno topped, from around 1980, but not what the shortlist was off the top of my head...

I know that you're not the only one who thinks that way anyway. I think at his peak level Rivaldo could be a very good player, and top level for...

Yeah, I think he wasn't great in those tournaments....but arguably 'very very good' in 1988 and/or 1992 Euros? I think I was giving him a bonus...

Yes, and Feola was the coach of the team I realise now.

The other very interesting comment on Sastre in the article being at the end I think (after the Feola comments, and the info about the Konex...

Yes, I suppose that's true - although compared to some other guys my list will be less modern for sure lol! Kaka is really borderline (Rijkaard,...

Maybe this is an interesting new bit of information in there too (I'm not sure whether @Vegan10 knew it before, or even posted it, or not)...

I translated this article about Sastre, that has some comments by Feola, after being prompted/intrigued by your reply about his opinion about him...
