Cristiano Ronaldo's immense goalscoring record for Real Madrid and his ability to sustain his form despite injury marks him out as the highest performing 'new signing' in the latest Castrol Rankings.

However, the most dramatic improvement in form comes with Manchester City's Carlos Tevez, who has surged 120 places up the rankings since leaving Manchester United, the largest jump of any of the players involved in the top 10 most expensive switches during the close season.

Along with Ronaldo, two more fresh faces appear in the current top 10, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Barcelona and Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben registering at nine and 10 respectively. Interestingly, another Bayern player appears in the top 20; Ivica Olic, at 17.

Perhaps surprisingly, Inter's Wesley Sneijder is way back at 137, with the tail-end of his Real Madrid career counting somewhat against him.

Well, there's your answer Genius. Ronaldo was a better signing than Ibra, coming straight from the method you champion, the Castrol rankings.

Sneijder @ 137 though???
 
Are taking price paid into account or not?? I would put sneijder and lucio pretty high considering the prices paid.
 
I don't think so, I think it's just according to form.

Haha, I read somewhere that due to form, RM are considering signing Robben and Sneijder in the summer. :p
 
Got a link to the full ranking? Wanna see where they ranked Vermalen.
 
I never ever said Ibra was a better signing compared to Ronaldo.

Do you make up facts as they pop into your head?
 
Was I right or was i right about Ronaldo being nothing in La Liga? :D :D :D

So, he's the best signing in La Liga this season, but he's nothing. So tell, me, is Ibra less than nothing? :rolleyes:
 
Pointless debating with you.

Ignore FTW

I notice you pull the ignore card when you've been proven wrong a lot. Very mature, but then what else do you expect from a fanboy?
 
Proven wrong?

I ignore when a thread turns into rubbish like this.

Haha, you asked me for proof, I gave you proof, you use the ignore threat. Sound familiar? Or did you not say Ronaldo was nothing in La Liga? And that Ibra wasn't a flop?

You stil haven't answered my request for proof in the other thread, by the way. Are you ignoring that too? :)
 
When did i ask for proof that Ronaldo was a better signing?

Again making up things as you go along.

Thats its, im done debating with you.

See? Ignore the questions, drop the I-bomb. Well played.

PS. I never said you asked for proof that Ronaldo was a better signing. You said you never said Ibra was a better signing than Ronaldo, so I gave you proof :) Ronaldo is nothing in La Liga.. Hehehe...
 
Jeez Cantera.

I would have expected better from you, seeing as you're respected somewhat by posters on this board. however, you are proving to everyone that any statement made which is not pro-barca/laliga/messi/ibra will not be tollerated by you, and on a debatable topic like football, you are really coming off as a tool.

you should be a fan of football before your team, and learn to swallow the truths of some debates as well as opinions - which make up 99% of chat boards. fans who behave this way are really taking all the fun away from these boards and football in general.

lighten up mate.

:confused: You'd be hard pressed to find one poster who hasn't already taken off with Cantera/Genius mate.

I am as light as they come. However it is pointless debating with Randhir, the only reason he is on this board is to attack everything that is Barca and what I say.

For me, I enjoy it much more chatting to everybody else except Randhir.

I will never shy away from a debate and fortunately I am wise to Randhir's tricks already. So i will continue to ignore him and debate/answer/challenge/laugh with everybody else.

Wow you must definately be pretty new if you think Genius/Cantera is respected... all he posts are rubbish about how brillent each and every single play in Barca is... there's no one else better, even Eto who did Barca great service doesn't get recognition over Ibra as he would state Ibra @ 60 odd mill is better than Eto @ Barcelona... that statement quickly changed to Ibra needs time to adjust to La Liga.

Also don't forget the whole Ronaldo is nothing in La Liga, he's fading so quickly that no one knows who he is. My favourite one, Pique Owned ROnaldo, Ronaldo is nothing in La Liga as Pique is the ENTIRE La Liga Defence who OWNED ROnaldo!

football teams get stick - it's part of being a football fan. do you think barca fans don't take stick from opposing fans at away venues? of course they do. it won't make barca any worse. you can stand up for your team as much as you like, it won't make them any better than they are, nor would it stop anyone else's opinions of them.

i doubt it matters to Randhir if you ignore him or not (if he doesnt mind me saying so), i'm sure he is here for the banter that goes with being a fan as well. you got to take stick to dish stick.

Lets clear a few things up because I see you are LOST like kid going to school for the first time.

1) I said Ronaldo is nothing in La Liga compared to how he was in the EPL.

*I never said he was a poor player or that he isnt a great footballer, i was merely pointing out that in the EPL he was the greatest of great and in La Liga it clear for EVERYBODY to see that Messi is better than Ronaldo by some distance. That was the point - nothing else.

2) I said Ibra is having a better season compared to Eto. That is what i said.

* There was alot of hate coming from all sides based on Ibra going to Barca and Etoto Interr, I merely pointed out that Barca made a good move because Ibra has performed very well this season. He has performed better than Eto yet nobody has any hate for Eto. That was my comparison between the two, nothing else.

It helps when we understand each other. Try reading my posts firsts before you comment.
