No, it has to do with you lumping Robson in with the group of players you mentioned.

By 'on his way' I thought you meant he was past his prime, so my bad there. But if you think he isn't already then Yet another difference of opinion. I can't see how you say Raul doesn't do it in major international competitions and yet still don't consider Zidane, who was won virtually everything in the modern game, to be world class.

Maldini probably is better than the Wolves squad But that's not exactly a disgrace either.
last word on this, i never said southgate was the equal of maldini, if i had of done then i would have said add southgate to the list of pele etc but i didnt i said add maldini.

like i said previously id say at least 6 - 10 were genuine intrest in players when robson was manager which he followed up on. only thing is if there is a good player who may became available you get numourous managers saying they would be interested but have no follow up (example of this is young wayne rooney - how many managers have said they would like him since euro 2004)

i only mentioned robson as he was still a player when he came to us and we made him a player manager

also my bad about nedved as i could have worded it better, everyone has different opinions about players and i think Zidane is a good player again he is on his way to being world class but i still think he can be lazy and thats why i dont class him in that catagory YET. raul is famous for doing it in any competition for any club except spain at major competitions so that is why i dont class him as being WORLD class as he scores in friendly's but always lets you down in major competitions.

Maldini was quality and was also prob better than the boro squad!
