Messi´s not a 9. ´Greatest player´ has been thrown about in this thread two times, and on another occasion, he stipulated that these 10 better historic players be a 9.

That´s the real Ronaldo I listed, not CRon.

Truth be told, if I need a Swedish player to get me a goal, I'm tempted to take Henrik Larsson.

I certainly agree with how amazing of a player he is. Truly a special talent for his elite vision / passing / technical skills as a real #9. I'd argue that he's often underrated a bit because his persona inspires so much disdain that many are loathe to credit him.


Completely agree.

I don't care what the numbers say, or what douchey soccer historians tell you in order for you to form these opinions on which players are the best ever. I go by what I see. I obviously haven't seen as much from the players you listed because Zlatan is playing right now, so his games are available for me to watch. But in my opinion, he's one of the ten to 20 best players of all time. A shoe-in IMO.

ETA he's better than fricking gary linker. Jesus Christ.
ETA2 Falcao is nasty too. I'll take Zlatan right now though.

If you're counting all positions, then he's certainly not wrong.
