I was telling my friend today that I was going to sell C Ronaldo. He's 28 in my game. That tells you something about me.

At 28 he should be in his prime. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Yes he should be but players do sometimes peak early IRL. Kluivert did, maybe Ronaldihno has, Owen has to certain degree.

Who is to say the likes of Ronaldo and Messi won't in the future.

i just finished my third season with Man Utd. Ryan Giggs is still simply brilliant!

At the age of 36 he got an aver.rating of 7.15 in 27(12) games with 4 goals and 13 assists. He was the second best assister of the league and was selected in the premier league team of the season.

Naturally i gave him a raise!

Kluivert, maybe. But the other two? Ronaldinho has been through a poor spell by his standards, but i'd hesitate to say he's peaked. and Owen has had so many injuries, it's frightening to think what his record would be like without them. I don't think he ever did peak.
