kanoute scored 21 goals in 30 league games (28 starts) and had 3 assists while ronaldo scored 7 goals in 12 league games (10 starts) and had 4 assists.

id say these players were equal last season.

Kanoute deserves to be mention because he played all of last season and scored as one of the best strikers in Europe.

Sadly Ronaldo didn't have the chance to prove he could score more, that in it self should put Kanoute ahead.

But of course Ronaldo's name is more familiar to fans.... and FIFPro knows that.

for the nth f**kin time

What Paul Scholes did last season at his age and situation (recovering from a career threatening eye injury that could have meant retirement) is more than enough for me to consider what Quaresma has done in his entire career so far.
