Re: Hardest working skilful player
From this current team I’d go Mendez-Laing or Ralls.
Over the last few years I’d go Ross McCormack in his first season here.

Good stuff. Wingers n midfielders stand out. Danny Gabbindon first time round could do it all though. Didn't look like it cause he didn't have to break sweat but he deserves a mention

Re: Hardest working skilful player
This hasn't got much to do with the thread cause he wasn't hard working but Jason Fowler rounded the Torquay goalkeeper and was quoted in The Echo later as saying he spoke with his dad and they both agreed that nobody rounds the keeper any more so I thought I would have a go. Que that goal. I'm sure that's the year the police dog bit Jimmy Mchnicolls leg but I likely wrong. City

Have to say Messi is pretty hard working, Iniesta is especially.

They're both so naturally gifted it doesn't seem to look like they try that hard if that makes sense

Ronaldo spends hours alone on the training field and got where he is through pure determination and lots of hard work. He looks after himself and is the consummate professional. It's amazing how he has even adapted his game to remain one of the best players in the world. He may be a bit of a winker, but he deserves total respect for what he has achieved, and the way he has achieved it.
What's more, he saw Messi achieving all the awards in a brilliant Barcelona team, but he never gave up, it just made him even more determined to become a better player and he got his just rewards IMO.

Re: Hardest working skilful player
I staying away from Ronaldo yes he is absolutely blower and yea he has worked hard as anything to not only stay relevant but thrive. I was thinking more of Ruud Gullit and thumping headers. Skill that is.or the hardest working skilfull player of all time... Why aye it's gotta be Gazza

Have a look at Ronaldos thumping header against us in the euros. He jumped about 80 feet off the ground too...

Re: Hardest working skilful player
Bale?
Not skillful as Ronaldo but I would argue he works harder, especially based on his Wales performances. He does a lot more defending and tracking back. Was listening to the pundits commentating on a Madrid game a while back saying how Ronaldo and Messi have never really done that on a regular basis and suggested it could be something that contributes to Bale's terrible injury record of late.

He can do it all. His lat year at Man Utd they used to cross to the far post a lot and he would get the jump on the full back adding heading to his game you are right he can out jump Center Halfs now. He is something else, You used to be good if you scored a goal every other game but him n Messi are next level.

Have you ever watched him play for Madrid? he in incredibly lazy, will only break into a run if he has the ball on his feet

He is in the team to inflict maximum damage in front of the opponent's goal. His age is advancing, so it makes sense to conserve energy that is required for that task. Ronaldo is just being smart. If you look at his earlier videos he was all over the place.

His last year at Tottenham it seemed he was single handedly smashing teams. Running all over the shop. Guess it's hard to keep that up.

I've never understood this comment, if I was Messi's manager and he was tracking back to full back positions I would be going nuts shit I used to go nuts all the time because bothroyd always wanted to be a winger

Pushing your body to the max every week can't be good for you in the long run I would like to see his average speed and distance he covered over the last 3 years at spurs
