Obviously a very very good player, but I don’t think he was ever quite as good as Torres or David Villa at their very best IMO.

 

The opposite for me. Torres and Villa were very very good, but neither was ever quite as good as Raul.

 

Raul was top class. Didn't have the pace of the other two, but he made up for that with his speed of thought and technique.

Interesting - I thought Torres certainly at his best, and Villa almost certainly, were both levels above Raul too - although neither had his longevity. Although Raul’s trophy cabinet is beyond compare.

Clearly the sustained and orchastrated smear campaign from lifetime, has impacted the number of votes i received.

 

Shame that this ultimately came down to politics.

Agreed -- there was a five year period where Raul was a scoring machine. 

 

Torres, maybe you could argue for 18 months was at that level - not enough.

 

Villa, never.

If you were to pick out of the 3 at their absolute best then Torres is out in-front. He was unplayable for a good spell here. Just lost it all too quick. Thankfully.

At their best, which is IMO what matters more in a draft comp like this one, for me the order would be as below:

1. Torres

2. Villa

3. Raúl

 

In terms of ‘legend status’, arguably you’d flip the table upside down.

I'd have Raul above Villa in that list.

Alex-K and MegadriveMan tied. 

 

I'll open it up till 9pm tomorrow, if no more votes then I'll post a final play off, winner takes all.
