Ronaldo 9 to Newcastle.

I've been watching football since early 90s, so can't comment or go for players from previous gens (Maradona, Cryuff, etc). From all the players I've seen since I started watching football I don't think anyone comes close to that combination of speed, power, skill, and flair of Ronaldo 9 at his peak (probably 19 to 22 yo). He was just built different, and did it at all levels, including lighting up WC 98 and going to a stacked Serie A and destroying the best defenses in club football.

I think he's the one player that could be put into a PL mid table side like Newcastle and he'd solo carry that team. Other great players like Zidane, Ronaldinho, etc, amazing amazing players, but I think for NUFC they'd be marked heavily and be made to be very quiet, they need to be in a better team with better teammates to stop that happening. For R9 I don't think any of that works, he's the most "unstoppable" player I've ever seen, it's either foul him constantly or he's going to turn and burst past the defense with crazy speed/skill, even if he has to drop deep to get the ball he'll still wreck teams.
