People often forget just HOW GOOD Ronaldinho was. He was by far and away the best player in the world for 2 years in a row at Barcelona. I think sadly that he wasn't able to stay at that level for as long as he should of. By the time he was sold to AC Milan he wasn't the player he once was and all to often it showed on the pitch. In the end he pretty much became a show pony. But in his prime his touch, dribbling, vision, flair and shooting was OUT OF THIS WORLD. AS A SIDE NOTE I make Danny Murphy and Darren Bent both right in saying that Thierry Henry is the greatest ever foreign import to grace the Premier League. Like obviously it's subjective and different people are going to have different opinions.
It was an honour watching Ronny at his peak. No player has come close to his flamboyance since he was at the peak of his powers. You wont get another Ronaldinho
@@gladiatorscoops4907 The only player I can think of off the top of my head that has had the potential to be on par with the ability Ronny had would be Neymar. He is/was quick and can dribble and has skills etc ... but too often he's found lacking with his finishing/end product. But yea Ronaldinho was on ANOTHER LEVEL when he was at his peak mate because he really was FRIGHTENINGLY brilliant!!
don't worry darren, zinedine zidane will ALWAYS be my favorite player. i could never forget how he taught me how football can be art. as an american kid, he is my micheal jordan.
De Bruyne over magic Modric? Kevin flopped with his “Belgium Golden Generation” while Luka the skipper took Croatia to two semifinals & runner up that silver & bronze there while scooped the golden ball & the Ballon D’Or alongside the CL in 2018 with 6 CL which is a record in this competition in an exclusive group & now heading for his 13th season with the greatest club football EVER. just coz your KDB plays for PL & the other in La Liga there’s no need to be biased Danny. I rest my case
I think this euros finally opened people’s eyes up to all of kanes limitations, Rooney is much the better player and that’s alright, there’s a reason fergie has him till the very end
Lampard's vision, passing and creativity is hugely underrated even by footballers, past and present... Check his assist stats and watch him. Check his goal against Hull and assist for Drogba's goal against City when Chelsea beat them 6-1. Lampard was more than just goals... Goal against Barca... OMG!
Zidane, Iniesta and Seedorf are for me, the 3 greatest midfielders (from 1990 onwards). Zidane has the higher ceiling of the 3, Iniesta had most longevity and Seedorf is the best athlete of the 3. Didn't see Gullitt, Rijkaard, Cruyff, Di Stefano, Charlton, Platini or the old Brazilians so can't comment on them.
"System player" is a 12 year olds view. Their abilities can be taken to any team. Imagine trying to downplay the only footballer in history to win the Man of the Match award in a World Cup Final, a Euro Final, and a Champions League Final.
Think you missed his point. He's saying it's subjective and he would value a reliable goalscorer like Bent over a technically superb Berbatov. No right or wrong answer.
@bh629 Berbatov was an equal to, if not better goalscorer than Bent. It's a myth that Bent was prolific. Murphy is picking Bent, because it's his mate. For the record, their record in domestic leagues is as follows; 179 in 486 for Bent. 213 in 514 for Berba.
I enjoyed this until Danny capped at the end talking bout he would take de Bruyne over modric you crazy. Man that hasn’t been as consistent as modric you crazy. Luka does everything he does and more but he can’t do everything like luka. It’s like you guys are always premier league bias
did this guy just slander modric. Ok modric took his country far into international tournaments what did kdb do with with the so called golden generation

My best player of all time, the things he did no footballer ever has been able to do.

Murphy is a proper football man,born n breed n fed football, him n townsend are great to listen to
@@kygodragon4782😂
He’s not got a clue. He would take benty over berba? He’s lost the plot
Is this talksport's version of stickToFootball? I hope it picks up though. The more of such shows we have, the better
Great interview love these two
don't worry darren, zinedine zidane will ALWAYS be my favorite player.
i could never forget how he taught me how football can be art.
as an american kid, he is my micheal jordan.
Same here bro! He was just the best 😩🤷😂
Best player from a technical pov I've seen in my 35 years of watching football.
Loved this man, great new show!
Loving that there will be a talksport youtube series like this, looking forward to the future episodes
Danny Murphy great player great bloke
Gotta luv how Benty has forced his way into this with the one games 😂😂
Enjoyed this, subscribed!
Really enjoyed this... Honest straight forward footballers view on the greats 👏🏿👏🏿

I rest my case
KDB is the better player.
Love Benty as a pundit but as a player, Berbatov every day of the week.
Great convo guys
Im glad these 2 are doing a show, both great players and blokes 👏
This is an awesome show boys! Keep it up! Great guys
Danny murphy is funny man i could listen to him all day
Lovin this, my era
Great show...boysss 👍👍👍
Great show. I agree with Darren, Iniesta is the greatest midfielder I’ve seen. Completely two-footed, with the ability to go past players with ease.
Behave yourself. The answer your loooking for is George Best
I will never forgive Iniesta for 2009...
Even the Torres goal didn't fully kill that pain.
man i enjoyed this video. Do you have a Podcast for this show. ”The Shortlist”?
Henry simply the best player the PL has ever seen. No debate. One of the all time greats of the game.
Absolutely crazy putting KDB at the table with Xavi, Iniesta etc
Great episode but sorry Danny, Modric over De Bruyne for me.
This is going to be great!
Bent and Goldstein funny on drivetime, think Murphy should join them couple of times a week.
Nobody from Celtic? I'm sure Murphy was playing when Celtic gave Liverpool a real spanking in the Uefa Cup
Darren very good player
Yeah 20 goals a season prem league striker
"Jennifer Lopez or Eva Mendes conversation, you happy with both" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't think people realise how good Iniesta was.
Deco what a player
As a Man United fan, I'm very surprised that Danny Murphy said Wayne Rooney. It just shows what a special player Rooney was.
Deco such a good shout
Great show
I think this euros finally opened people’s eyes up to all of kanes limitations, Rooney is much the better player and that’s alright, there’s a reason fergie has him till the very end
Kane wasn't fully fit to be fair.
Rooney after his breakthrough euros didn't do anything at any tournament
@@bh629 I mean he did for Manchester United Kane hasn’t done anything in his whole career
Lampard's vision, passing and creativity is hugely underrated even by footballers, past and present... Check his assist stats and watch him.

Hmmmm footballers know who is good n not lol they play with them n have a better overall take on players like lampard
@@kygodragon4782 Oh you knew what Lampard wanted to become as you read minds. Okay👍
We had kinkladze ,who was absolutely amazing
Why not list the 30, not just the three, and explain in detail analyzing the kind of movements that set them apart
Anyone who compares xavi iniesta to Zidane are just clueless about football. Getting carried away with system players to a true great
Nah mate ..to each his own mate..Xavi and Iniesta revolutionised football.!!
Zidane, Iniesta and Seedorf are for me, the 3 greatest midfielders (from 1990 onwards). Zidane has the higher ceiling of the 3, Iniesta had most longevity and Seedorf is the best athlete of the 3.

Modric kroos casemiro over iniesta xavi and busquets
No chance.
I love Danny Murphy. Proper football man
18:55 "Iniesta's numbers didn't stack up" What??? Surely Iniesta had more assists than any other player of his era...
1. MESSI
2.NEYMAR
3.CRISTIANO
Shocked Murphy didn't but slippy in his list
Modriç over KDB any day of the week and especially for a big game.
Eva Mendes old Danny has proper taste
Wazza best player since Gazza
Rooney 🔥🔥🔥
Bent over Berbatov? What's Danny been drinking? 😂
Think you missed his point.
He's saying it's subjective and he would value a reliable goalscorer like Bent over a technically superb Berbatov.

Does Danny not do white and Jordan anymore???
He’ll probably be back on when the season starts back
@@rogerdavies2796Jordan’s back this week
His weakness was pies and pints.
How can someone say that Xavi wasn't creative enough 🤦🏽!
KDB won’t be mention as same class of Mudryk, Xabi, inesta becase he didn’t achieve what they achieved with their national team
Mudryk?😂
2 of my Favourite Pundits, always says what am thinking 99% of times. Great Duo ,great Lads too
Waza was the best player in the 02-10
Not even top 10 attackers:
Messi
Ronaldo
Kaka
Zidane
R9 (even post injury he was still better than Rooney)
Shevchenko
Henry
Villa
Raul
Tevez
Drogba
Danny was great until he said modric doesn’t thread passes through he’s been doing that for 20 years
How can you compare harry kane to Wayne Rooney that ain’t a debate at all Rooney all day!!!!!
There is a valid debate
Rooney the better athlete
Kane the better finisher
Rooney more trophies
Kane better goal ratio/records
What a player Murphy’ was loved scoring against man Utd when at Liverpool
finally .... no Rory. 👍
Ronaldo???
I enjoyed this until Danny capped at the end talking bout he would take de Bruyne over modric you crazy. Man that hasn’t been as consistent as modric you crazy. Luka does everything he does and more but he can’t do everything like luka. It’s like you guys are always premier league bias
Debruyne is a better player
did this guy just slander modric. Ok modric took his country far into international tournaments what did kdb do with with the so called golden generation
