[@giannb5145]

Forlan's successes with Atletico Madrid, Villarreal and Uruguay national team clearly demonstrated his great quality. And he wasn't a flop at United. His goals stats do indeed look very average, but he was almost never a starter

[@MalleusIudaeorum]

They’re better than average when you realise he didn’t score for his first 20 odd games. If you only count the games after that it suddenly becomes a very impressive rate once he got his first goal.

[@giannb5145]

@@MalleusIudaeorum Yes, you're right. Forlan was so unlucky in that, at one point, he had to compete with Van Nistelrooy, Solskjaer, Saha and Rooney at the same time, and Ferguson by the mid-2000s only played one striker in most matches. I also liked Veron a lot, Fergie was right in defending him.

[@rafaellugo1744]

Para mi el mejor fue el mago Scarone, quien hasta 2011 fue el mayor goleador de la selección. Ganó 3 mundiales (1924,1928 y 1930) y 4 Copa América. Discutiblemente uno de los mejores futbolistas de la historia... Entre Suárez y Forlán me quedo con Forlán. Capaz Suárez sea mejor pero en cuanto a atributos mentales Diego es ampliamente superior y haber sido mejor jugador en un mundial va a ser algo que Luis no va a poder conseguir nunca (2014 era el suyo pero su desequilibrio le jugó en contra). Los dos son unas bestias y los aprecio mucho pero Suárez podría haber rendido mucho más con la selección si hubiera tenido más respaldo psicológico, una verdadera lástima...

[@BurnRoddy]

@@rafaellugo1744 De esa generación me parece que fue Nasazzi, no solo porque ademas de todo eso gano una Copa America más, sino porque Scarone era Centrofobal y eso había pero Nasazzi era Líbero y tenes que ir hasta Beckenbauer para encontrar otro. O sea, se adelantó 50 años en el tiempo el tipo. El mejor defensa sudamericano de todos los tiempos.

[@rafaellugo1744]

@@BurnRoddy Tengo entendido que ganó 4 (1923, 1924, 1926 y 1935) igual que Scarone (1917, 1923, 1924 y 1926). Es discutible lo que decís y tenés un caso fuerte ya que el trabajo del defensa ha sido infravalorado durante toda la historia del fútbol. La verdad es que todos los de la generación fueron unas verdaderas bestias que deslumbraron al mundo entero y dieron cátedra de fútbol...
