Bale in his wildest dreams can't measure up to Isco's talent.

I think Madrid have got a future Ballon d'Or winner in Isco, he's an alien on the pitch at times. Talent overload. IMO, should have saved 60 million pounds and bought Lamela instead of Bale. Selling Ozil not looking like such a bad decision right now.

Our academy has produced gems in Butland and Redmond in the last few years, but before that we hadn't had any talent in years. Mutch, Darren Carter and Andy Johnson the only players of note.

Goes down in Blues folklore if he never pulls on the blue jersey again. Just shows the class difference between $$$PL academies and Championship academies. What a debut.

Ribery beat Messi to WPotY? Can't see it myself. Leo will be the rightful winner.

I remember his debut vs Bolton in 2003, had never really seen anything like it. So raw, but the potential was there even then. 07/08 was such a fun season to watch Ronaldo too, never knew what he'd do week from week.

I'm a Birmingham City fan, but post here because the atmosphere's great and most posters are very knowledgable. Follow both Barca and Madrid though.

Hattrick goal was unreal. Will always be one of my favourite players.

Can't give Ronaldo that much space in the box. Great movement for 1st goal but the celebration was a bit...egotistical. Still love you though CR7.

Luka has no ceiling. Talent overload. Carlo knows this, just a shame he couldn't see it in Ozil.

Stop the world I want to get off... This is the first time I've ever felt truly pissed off by football. It's not fair.

You don't have to drink to have fun. CR7 knows this.

Heart beat of the team. Come for invisible shield, stay for feints, swerves and utter class.

He should be an inspiration for any kid trying to break into the first team of a club. Very, very raw at 17/18 - lots of natural talent obviously, but nothing in Messi or Maradona's league - so he worked unbelievably hard to refine his technique and have a monster physique. Maybe poor examples...

If I could be one player I would be Modric. Little Mozart, perfect playmaker who grafts too. Crack.

Is Morata the brighter prospect? How will Carlo use him?

I'm not even exaggerating when I say that he's a bit like a Ronaldinho/Messi hybrid :S

A question not asked enough; what would you do if you were Bale? I would personally push for the Madrid move, the chance to play alongside CR7 under the tutelage of Ancelotti and challenge for medals would be too strong. Decent pay rise too.
