Muff 245 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Could be his last season in European competitions (for a bit), unless Schalke get their finger out. Still only 33 (34 in summer). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dado'sMulls 2,638 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Was the best striker in the world on his day IMO.Shame he went totally downhill! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SandyWATP Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 People seem to remember the old, slow, washed-up striker.He used to be a brilliant player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Still is pretty handy. Never been blessed with pace, still has the touch, intelligence and movement, along with the goalscoring instinct and composure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Seemed to have a bit too much power at Real Madrid in the latter stages.But clearly he's still got something! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooooootchy 405 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 One of my favourite ever players , and one of the greatest strikers ever to play the game . European all time top scorer . Spains all time top scorer ( i think hes still level with villa) and real madrids all time top scorer . 3 incredible stats . Did go downhill a bit in his last couple of years at Real . but an absolute legend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goianegra 4,686 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The man isn't human. He has like a 6th sense. Unreal footballers, one of my favourites of all time outwith Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 19,081 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 My dislike for Real Madrid has always prevented me from feeling much fondness for Raul, even though he represented all that could potentially be good about the club (of which there isn't much) and very little of the bad (of which there is a great deal). I've always had a tremendous amount of respect for him though. A fantastic player.Just hope Super Pippo gets fit again and beats the record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Terrific player!He's in a unique brand of strikers that to me are what I compare new up and coming strikers to when their making way in the game. These strikers are what I consider the best strikers I've seen in my 18 years so far.Raul, Ronaldo, Henry, Inzaghi, Batistuta, Elber, Kluivert, Van Nistelrooy and Shevchenko are the players in that list.

KERRZO 5 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Still a great player. Bn playing in midfield at times this season and has still scored a decent amount of goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Up there with Inzaghi, Van Nistelrooy and Crespo as the best poachers I have seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Raul actually on 71 goals, but 1 came in the Intercontinental Cup, which isn't included.69 Champions League goals, 1 Super Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I never viewed Raul as one of the best, not sure why, possibly because he never had a good international tournament despite playing in at least 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenose_72 198 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 7 of Inzaghi's goals came in the Intertoto Cup, that competition does not count.Ahh right.69 of Raul's have been in the CL and 1 in the Super Cup, that is just an incredible record.
