    Gotta go with Robert on this one, but I wouldn't want to belittle HBA.

    Both match winners on their day, and in the case of Robert have we ever had a better free kick taker.
    Robert had a much better goal and assists record than HBA over his 4 years here, but due to the HBA injuries has had i'm not sure its a fair comparison, as they have blighted each season.

    The defensive qualities of both have a lot to be desired, but, I think, Sir Bobby's team was more adept at making up for Robert's shortcomings. With the current team, HBA is sometimes too much of a passenger, that we struggle to cover for. The way the PL is these days, teams can't afford to carry players.

    It's a long season though, and I think HBA will play his part in time.

    Either way, I'm lucky to have seen both in their prime.
