Giggs vs Figo

Arnaud is beautiful wrote:I voted for Giggsy.Always liked him and i really think he was 1 of the first modern winger.This guy has a fantastic technic but unlike Figo,he doesn't use it.He always use his pace and does simple passes.

Both are wonderful wingers but Figo has been overhyped in 2000 when he signed for Madrid.In 2000 he won the euro player of the year award but in fact Zizou was the daddy (he won the calcio+EC with France and was awesome during the tournament.Do you remember the semi France-Portugal ? Zizou was clearly superior to Figo.)

Giggs for me <ale>

if you voted Figo then do you still agree with your choice or have you changed your mind?

Who was better?

Giggs any given day and twice on Sundays.

Before people say Giggs is not as good after he lost his pace. How come he ended with better and longer career than Figo? Figo, Ronaldinho, Rui Costa and other flashy players will always be overhyped than Giggs, Zidane and Scholes. yes, they were excellent when they were at peak and on form. But you can't gauge talent when they have failed to keep that form for longer periods.

Figo had poor seasons for Real when he was consistently hyped as a Galactico. Giggs had been a key proponent and consistently involved in title-winning seasons at United.

Aside from 05-06, his last, Figo didn't really have any poor seasons for us. He was immense in his first, then suffered a terrible ankle injury in his second campaign, but after he fully recovered he was excellent until his talent was not able to hide the years any longer.

2003–04
2004-05

were not great seasons, individually as well as collectively.

Disagree. Completely. 05-06, most definitely concur.

As the mantra goes, 'agree to disagree'

Your whole team were poor to be fair. Even Beckham could be argued to be your best player that season.

You are either utterly & completely clueless or you are planning to wind-up Madrid fans after a sudden moment of epiphany while scarfing ur maggot-dick on a cold afternoon.

How low could one resort? Even if I am clueless or winding up..I wouldn't behave like a 9 year old & throw expletives.
