Guti: "It was the throne of Vinicius, Mbappé, Haaland... But Bellingham is the only one who has realized that the throne of Messi and Cristiano is free... and he is going for it." (www.marca.com)

I mean, I've watched some disastrous games from both Messi and Cr7, it's not like every single one of their +900 games has been a 10/10

This being said, and it might sound controversial I know, but I believe Haaland could reach Ronaldos level, he's already a world class finisher, is good in the air and has crazy top speed, only thing he lacks in comparison might be the dribbling alltough he doesn't really needs that when bulldozering through the defenders does the trick. This being said, he's still so young, maybe he develops some crazy techniques too. His biggest challange in this case would be to keep up with the numbers for 15+ seasons, but who's to say he can't do that.

Messis level on the other hand, is unreachable, for any human being. And every comparison between the two would just be unfair and not make much sense.

You are selling CR7 short. Some of Cristiano's performances in knockout rounds of CLs in threepeat are stuff of almost unattainable legend. If Haaland can come close to that, hats truly off. But I doubt that he will.

In b4 Southgate plays him as RB

Flashback time when I play FIFA Player Career mode and I play as a Striker and for some reason my coach always puts me to RB for the last 15 minutes of the game when we need a goal.

As if Bellingham wouldn’t be world class in every outfield position.

I hate that there is even a chance of this happening, knowing Southgate

You say that as if Arteta hasn't also been rogue with Partey as a RB this season

[–] Zizouh@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Arsenal does not have 72 quality right backs on the bench while arteta plays ødegaard as a RB. Partey as RB cant be compared.

Also, the party was playing as an inverted RB, so he was in his natural position in midfield pretty much whenever they had possession of the ball anyway.

"Boss, only half the team are right backs!"

"Hold my waistcoat."
