Actually, Forlan only looks good because he's playing at a lower level than Rooney, Torres et al.

You can judge his real level of quality from his stint at Manchester United, the best part of a decade ago.

Hey, thanks for that, you know what - we will! In fact, what we could do with is some kind of online hub for us to be able to share opinions on matters such as that and of other topics pertaining to RFC and football in general. Perhaps someone could set something like this up?

Forlan is a good european striker but to seriously suggest he's the best striker in the world? Rofl. Mongs. Some utter CLOWN suggestions in here.

Well, he was named the best player of the world cup, was he not..?
I kind of think that sort of thing would be slightly indicative of a world class player, eh?


Yeah, judging someone over 6 games, of which 3 were against absolute w.nk is a gr8 indic8or of a players ability.

Enough of the messing around.

Do you really think Diego Forlan is the best striker in the world, yes or no?

When are you there? I have to admit that I don't know the city very well - not in terms of going out in the evenings anyway. Just don't allow yourself to get dragged into anywhere between the train station and the city. But again, when do you be there?
