That for some players is an empty threat. they get the majority of the cash they earn from club football. So a super league would be a better financial option. Plus if you are Scottish/Welsh....why would you care?

He was clearly a fantastic player, but most of what anyone on here has seen was as part of an absolutely ridiculous team.
It does make you wonder how he compared to some of his contemporaries, like Eusebio or older players, where we have even less footage.
The bloke that Ronaldo may have overtaken has a ridiculous record, but what was the quality like? 399 goals in 211 games for Slavia Prague. <yikes>

I think you also have to take into account the **** pitches they played on back then. Also the fact that defenders were allowed to kick chunks out of them. The balls today are a lot lighter and the pitches are like carpets. I would say that the players today are a lot fitter.

The game's a lot quicker, too. It's very hard to compare eras because so many factors are different.

Exactly this. It's very difficult to compare. That's why I find it ridiculous when I hear people going on about Pele scoring goals in his front garden. Completely disrespectful imo.

He chucks in all manner of ****, though! <laugh> He's got a world class record without them, so why do it?
There's no doubt that he was a great player, but he's such a dick about it.

He’ll sort that before the end of the season.

I'm not convinced he'll be bothered either way. I mean if it was a burning passion he could go to the best team in the fourth tier and score 70+ goals next year but the guy has his head screwed on and will know that it means more to win things with clubs like Juventus rather than beat a disputed goal tally against lowly opposition.
