9 - Robert Lewandowski

[Maradona37]

Would think very very few would ever have Lewa in the debate as best CF ever with likes of Van Basten and R9.

Can be a 'legend' but not on that level of all time best.

That's why I said yes, as there's levels to legendary. He's a legend in the sense he might scrape into the top 10 strikers ever (probably not for me). Even 11-20 is legendary.

And you'd be surprised - admittedly they are lost causes, but I have seen a fair amount people saying he's as good as R9 and Van Basten, and better than Muller. Usually with that modern fan bollocks about footballers being better now than in the past.

There's people out there who wanna take this great striker and make out he's as good as all-time great strikers. Which he is not, never has been, and never will be.

Interesting discussion guys, just going back from Gamescom and cant read it in calmess but @Maradona37 consider that Lewy was 35 or 34 when he came here, if we look at his age + the performances he had we can surely say he overoverperformed. Think to become a real club legend he needs the cl. I mean even Ney isnt considered as barca legend from most fans. But Lewy came in a very difficult to Barca to help the project so character wise >>>> Ney.

He's obviously a legendary striker. But I feel he's no better than guys like Hazard, Salah, Bale, Benzema, Suarez, Robben, Ribery as talents (imo worse) yet gets treated like he's a level above all them forwards.

There's people out there who consider him player three after Messi and Ronaldo in this era. Extremely offensive to guys like Xavi and Iniesta. Just because someone scores a lot of goals it doesn't mean they're better than ones who don't.

Again, I am not saying he's not world-class, or legendary, or not a great striker. Just comparing him relative to other elite players.

It was a beautiful dive, I'll give him that. Very artistic.

If the gangly clown could fix his big feet out and not be such a donkey he could have finished before diving..then it's out the refs hands. Too busy looking to cheat. He's an imbecile.
