De Bruyne has like 20 assists

 

[Coupé It]

I don't remember watching De Bruyne play one time for Chelsea. Pretty sad.

Ya'll think he's better than Oscar?

LOL at the confidence.

I would crack up if this affected his heatmap...

He's definitely a better playmaker than Oscar. Oscar is better at pressing/tracking back. Oscar is better for what Mou wants, De Bruyne is better for a more traditional approach to the #10 spot.

he got injured right before the start of the season though if memory serves me right.. never was able to get a run in the team after

I think De Bruyne is a more clinical finisher with almost as much if not same skillsets as Oscar. This is judging after the fact that he left the team. I think Mourinho just played favorites and his injury didn't help his 1st team play. I think Chelsea still had Mata riding the bench at that time too if Im not mistaken. A team can only fit in so many playmakers. Both are 23, but if I have to choose, I'd give the slightest nod to De Bruyne right now.

Huntelaar is buns. Been watching him play since he was in la liga and series A. One of the goals was a tap in after missing two good chances less than a minute before.

Him scoring is more of an indication of how bad casillas and Madrid were in that game

This guy. You also said Huntelaar was buns yesterday and he stay having highlight goals against Real in the CL.

 

[Sinner]

Skillful.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

^ Ha ha, my son's been practicing fakes when shooting on goal. He's asked me to defend & he'll do 10 with his left & then 10 with his right until he does 100...

Has there ever been anyone with better ball handling skills than Ronaldinho?

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I wouldn't say there is one player that's the best all time or something but there is certainly a group of all time greats... Original Ronaldo & Zidane. If you wanna talk old school Cryuff, Baggio, Pele, Maradona.

Some of my favorite younger players that can dribble are Isco... I also liked Thiago but he's been hampered with injuries. I've liked Iniesta in his hey day too..

Among the players I've mentioned, the styles are definitely different, some more flashier than others.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Messi going for the thug look?

Looks like he's got a sleeve going on...

[rolaholic]

I never knew Messi was tatted up ,is that new?

Ronaldinho in his prime

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Yes, the tats are new...

 

[Thierry Henry]

so tats are for thugs now? ok

 

[Kimchi Papi]

You Gooners are so sensitive about erything... got damn... Is it the constant vying for the 4th place trophy?!?!

I got multiple tats. Although much more socially acceptable, tats are a thuggish look... like it or not.

 

[rolaholic]

Seems like everyone on the Argentina squad has some now.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

The Catalan media is saying he might've gotten tatted up during his trip to London hanging out with Cesc.

 

[AZwildcats]

Probably not, but in terms of the new school my dude Hazard has to be up there among the top

While I respect those you named, none of them were ever as great at ball handling as Dinho, god of elastico.

First smoking, now tats? Looks like he's taking notes from the Jack Wilshere playbook.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

This isn't meant as a diss of any sort, but my guess is you're a little younger. It's easy to make that assumption because you proly grew up watching Ronaldinho but you can't take away from any of those I mentioned. Ronaldinho is definitely more flashier but he's not head & shoulders better than the ones I've mentioned (not inclucing Isco & Thiago).
