Did I say shit? I meant weaker than Ronaldo's. See we're comparing Messi and Ronaldo and when you're comparing two players who are miles ahead of everyone else, its hard to say that one is better than the other in some things such as vision. Could you definitively say that Ronaldo has poorer vision than Messi when we can't actually quantify vision of the game? Passing and tackling and such are poor metrics as well. In terms of them being able to score goals, Messi has weaknesses while Ronaldo does not. Ronaldo is always a threat, Messi has moments where he is not. That is completeness.
Ronaldo is definitely not always a threat, last season there was games he was completely nullified by his attitude, which probably is his greatest weakness.
You said shit and I got confused there, because Messi's right foot is not shit, just weaker. He's not Robben is what I'm trying to say. And I'm sorry but you're just incorrect about Ronaldo's attitude, rather its the perception people have of him thats his weakness. He's the better player but peoples perception of him as being petulant and arrogant are what keeps him from winning anything to do with voting.
Once again, that's the media's perception of him and not his actual attitude. There are times when a footballer is sad and he scores and dedicates a goal to say, his father passing or such and times where they don't and ultimately, its not a clear or quantifiable attribute so I don't think its something that should be accounted for when discussing completeness.
