Probably the same here, although they're slightly different types of attacker. Makaay had a better left peg, more of a threat from around the edge of the box, and stronger in the air. He was a little more rounded and had the skillset to play off the right (as he often did for the national team) or as a second striker for Depor. All of that said, Ruud was more devastating in the penalty box. Next to nothing between their goal records during their 3-year peaks (RVN 110 goals, Makaay 104 goals). When you factor in assists Makaay was a bit more productive (RVN 0.85g+a per game, Makaay 0.95 g+a per game). Comparable in their standards, just depends what you need in your team.Roy Makaay

Maybe not rated Makaay higher, but I definitely liked him more than van Nistelrooij (see @Gio's comment above).You rated Roy Makaay higher than Ruud?

I work with a scouse fan who genuinely argues that Coady and Mings are both "miles better" than Maguire.Maguire's one for me. In my opinion, he's one of the best CBs in the league and rarely gets the respect he deserves.
Another man of taste here - The best of the Brazilian, Italian and Spanish (product of Barcelona FC) football reunited in one playerThiago Motta was an incredible player. Very slow, but his football brain was unbelievable. It was a pleasure to watch him jogging around with his silky left foot and always making the right decision.
Don't really know how good he was or rated at PSG and Roma but I was surprised how good he was at AC Milan before his injury, basically a one man offence for them, super abilityAt their prime:

Robert Pires
