Patrick Kluivert

One of my all time favourite players.

Welcome home, Patrick.

One shiny name more. Lets see if he can offer more than just a name.

He's crazy for some of his picks.

But he's the reason i started to follow football.

I was too young to actively remember him but don’t buy he edges Suarez.

Retired very early as well.

I avoid comparing eras. Ajax youth system produced those Marco Van Basten prototypes for decades, the CF-playmaker type and Kluivert was one of them. Even Suarez was signed by Ajax from Groningen in such capacity. Kind of, Suarez was more of a winger early on.

Kluivert rose to fame at very early age, same as R9, one of the top CFs in late 90s, but by 2001 he declined a lot. In fact I can say he performed well only under Van Gaal as manager. Post-Barca career was unremarkable.
