You could add Honda to that list as well. People are too fast to past judgement. Has anyone ACTUALLY seen him play live?Edit: Doesn't seem to be in bad form either. http://www.goal.com/en/news/3194/video/2015/04/09/10604392/video-chelsea-target-yoshinori-muto-scores-screamer
I didn't follow Brazilian footie when he was starting out, but I'm quite sure the calibre of player were higher back then. Brasileiro is mainly full of has beens, and a few prospects.However, I'm in agreement. Neymar is on a different level to Robinho.
Pato's injuries have ruined his career so far, rather than his attitude.I don't take much notice of labels, but if someone unknown is given such a title by the press; they must have something about them to warrant it.
I judge a player on more than one season. He had the ability to become WC, but went for the money. As I stated before, I don't doubt his ability. His attitude (diving, play acting, etc) are the things that make me doubt him.
