How good was this guy? Greatest Argie that isn't Messi or Maradona imo
Kempes was pretty good in a World Cup. Literally know nothing about him outside of that.
Hopefully an Argie posts to clear things up, but I must say that he is extremely underrated and was probably the one of if not the best strikers of the late 90's/early 2000's.
>striker played in his normal position
>scores lots of goals
Wow, AFA, it's like magic or something
Yeah, he was really good
Yes, I really liked Ortega.

Do you know Nicolas Frutos?
Cavenaghi? Really didn't live up to the early hype
Legend! Can't say much else
>>63740100
Nah
just looked him up, I wasn't ready for those feels
>>63740148
>Cavenaghi was once hyped up to be a new Batistuta
>>63739868
carried Valencia and became top scorer
Hernan Crespo-tier tbhfam
>>63740193
Sad story. Was curious whether he was known in Argentina or not.
>>63736469
>Greatest Argie that isn't Messi or Maradona
that would be Di Stefano
or Riquelme if you're talking modern players
>>63740569
Riquelme? Are you retarded? Batistuta was one of the greatest strikers in the modern era. Riquelme was a nobody.
>>63740100
yes, he's working in the young academy of my club (>inb4 >your club) and doing an excellent work
>tfw Argentina will never produce another white tall striker anymore
>>63736469
He hated the game, his words were literally.
>it was just a job didn't cars for passion, pride or anything else.
Fuck that guy.
>>63740687
real hot opinion kompis
>>63742269
If your legs were as fucked as his you'd probably hate it too.
>>63740569
you couldnt sound more hipster faM
Friend always says batistuta was 'apparently not that good' and they called him 'rabbit killer' because he only scored against shit teams, is this true /sp/?
>>63742269
if it was "Just a job" he would've gone to Real/Barça instead of staying at Fiorentina
>>63736469
Di Stefano or Kempes
>>63745129
No, that's Shearer.
>>63736469
>best argie outside of maradona, messi
Argentina is like the GOAT footballing country though. 2 GOATs, mixed south American and strong Italian heritage, top 3 players all time in virtually every position, I could go on
>>63740569
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rikekme
Who here remembers based Fiorentina team taking shit on Arsenal in the CL?

>>63736469
one of the GOAT strikers, has still one of the best goal to game ratios in Serie A history
>>63742269
He grew bitter toward the sport because of his injuries.
>>63740687
>norway
>football
yeah I dont think so. Riquelme was a fucking artist
>>63746649
Also this
>not rating Riquelme
baka desu senpai
>>63753713
Batistuta's Copa America trophies: 2
Batistuta's total trophies with Argentina: 4 (3 if you don't count the Artemio Franchi trophy)
Riquelme's Copa America trophies: 0
Riquelme's total trophies with Argentina: 1
2 > 0
4 > 1
BATIGOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
>>63736469
>Greatest Argie that isn't Messi or Maradona
I assume you are talking about attackers only, because otherwise it's Zanetti
>>63753266
And he played when Serie A was the best league in the world.
>>63740687
Riquelme was great to watch, a true 10.
He was only a little slow for the football of that time but still a world class player.
too bad LvG fucked him while he was playing for Barca
>>63736469
Batigoal - Rui Costa partnership was goat, the only reason I watched italian football in the 90s
>People on /sp/ have no idea if Batigol was as good as they say because they're 2000s kids
Stop making me feel old, assholes
Top 5 for sure, he's also a great guy
I remember we all wore our kits neck like him
>>63757273
>the only reason I watched italian football in the 90s
There were many other reason to watch Serie A back then
