I'm sorry, how anyone on Earth, with even the scousest tinted lenses can say Ronaldo has not been better in the league than Torres is just utterly beyond me. In every single statistical category Ronaldo is better. Ronaldo has scored more against the big 4, the bottom 4 and all the other fricking 4s. He has (almost) helped to bring United to the prem crown, Torres will have helped Liverpool finish fourth. He is the leading scorer in the Champions League. He has scored every type of goal imaginable. He has outscored every single other player in Europe...and he's a winger.
The player of the year award does not go to the 'well he's done really well given we all kinda thought he might flop' of the year.
Oh and I believe Van Nistlerooy still outscored Torres in their respective first seasons? Torres will likely overcome that, but still.
Bottom line is Torres would walk into any squad in the prem, but Ronaldo is the best player in the world. And no matter how much you dislike him, if you've ever watched football you would know that. End of.
Oh and Heskey?! WTF?
No question mate, Cristiano Ronaldo IS the best player in the world, whether he wins the trophy or not. But he's not a winger :-pp
