Question:
Totti Best Italian Footballer Ever ?

Choices:
Yes
No

 

Surely that's a joke?

The likes of Riva, Rivera, Baggio, Maldini, Gentile, Zoff, Del Piero (he's done so much more than Totti) etc etc deserve the title more.

I can't belive that anyone, other than gribbin, has voted yes.

From recent times players like Baggio, Maldini and Del Piero stand head and shoulders above Totti and that's without looking further back.

Pointless thread.

It was me!

Stop pi55ing about and update the points game - I won this week!

Is Del Piero a better player than Totti though? He's won more but then so would have Totti if he had been at Milan or Juve instead of Roma...I'd argue that Totti is a better and more skillful player than ADP

Who are the 4 people who said no? Shame on you, fools.

NO WAY IS DEL PIERO BETTER THAN TOTTI

FOOLS

Roberto Baggio is the best living Italian football player I have seen with my own eyes. I will not count Riva etc.. as I was not Born during those times.

So my votes goes to the one and only Roberto Baggio il divino codino.

That wc 94 performance will never be forgotten pure class.

As much as I love Il Capitano di Roma, no way is he better than Baggio. The best Italian player I have seen.

Totti > ADP

Better than Del Piero who's won so much because, altyhough very talented, he was at juve but not the best ever...my personal favourite though, can't think why.

Totti is certainly the best Italian player still playing by a long way....

But in recent times, Roberto Baggio was an absolute magician. Shame he never became World Champion because he deserved it.

In a completely unbiased opinion Giuseppe Giannini and Bruno Conti were also gems of Italian football...

Valentino Mazzola gives them all a run for their money.

I've only ben watching Italian Football for the last twelve years so I guess I'm unqualified to talk about players pre 90s but I've seen many great players in that time. Firstly, Totti is brilliant and I do think that his footballing abilities rank up there with the best. But world class? Well, for me, he's never really set the world stage alight. Then again, neither did Gianfranco Zola, Paulo Di Canio, Gianluca Vialli who are some of my favourite players. I performing so well for such a long time while playing for Roma is an acheivement and Totti possibly could have been even more successfull at winning trophies if he had played for Juve or Milan, which is similar to Batistuta at Fiorentina.

I don't think that Totti is the best Italian footballer of all time. I don't even think he's the best italian footballer of the last fifteen or ten years. For me, Gianfranco Zola and Baggio Baggio were a class above. Let me put it this way, if Totti was gold, Zola and Baggio would be platinum.

Totti is better than Zola. Period.

ay is Totti better than Zola or Baggio.
Because Baggio played in Italy longer I would choose him.

Totti isn't as good as Zola or Baggio. In my opinion anyway.

Totti best Italian player ever? A big no! He's a telented lazy bones who only ever turns it on about once every 10 games - most of the rest of the time he's happy the game passes him by. I don't know about the old school players but modern ones I'd pick Zola over Totti every time, he was a legend

This Zola being better than Totti talk is making me ill.

Baggio?-- Of course-- The Best!!!

Zola- no way partners

Duncan,

Who would you prefer to rely upon when things weren't going well?

Ultimate team player, midget genius with dodgy haircut Zola?

or

Talented but morally bankrupt, petulant, indisciplined Totti?

Zola, everyday of the week.
