That is fair enough. It was the "hasn't been performing (not even close)" to those players bit that I strongly disagreed with. Bale has played at a similar level to those players when he is at his best and there is certainly no significant gap between any of those players based on what they have displayed in their careers so far, although I would consider Robben to be the best out of all of those players both on his form over the last 18 months as well as his career as a whole as he is proven on pretty much every stage.
Gareth Bale is...The most expensive player ever?!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Robben impresses me every time I've seen him. He's a terrific player; scores goals, assists and contributes a lot in the attacking play. A couple of seasons ago, everyone had Ribery down as better. Personally, I always saw Robben as better, but that is only down to CL matches as I don't watch the Bundesliga (which actually has a lot of attractive football - based on the few times I've actually seen it).
Robben is without a doubt, imo, top five in the world.
Hazard said himself a few months ago that he wasn't one of the world's top players. The Hazard hype is one thing that irks me.
Thing is Hazard could actually be easily in front of Bale without anyone even being able to question his superiority, if he wanted to.
Nothing whatsoever.
She is right.
So he's playing within himself on purpose?
I think Bale was better last season.
And the season before.
Just because his father asked him to be a good man. For shame.
His confidence has completely gone and now he can't even get a goal or assist to mask his terrible performances. Think it's been over a month now since his last goal or assist. Not looking good for him at the moment.
They're probably at the same level tbh.
I don't think you understand, Hazard could be as good as Messi, if he wanted to.
I don't think he wants to mate.
I don't think you understand. If Hazard just wanted to want it, he'd be just as good as Messi.
Hazard can go on to become one of the greatest players of his generation but messi is one of the very best if not the best player to have ever played the beautiful game.
Hazard could be the best player to ever play tennis if he wanted
He could actually already have become the best tennis player, if he wanted.
Hazard could be the best Hazard to play Hazard, if he Hazard.
One thing is for sure. This Eden Hazard is hazard to his core and could out-Hazard any Hazard you care to hazard and be one of the very best if not the best to have played the Hazard game.
