I belive that outside of Brazil & Argentina, quality is thin on the ground in South America.

I also happen to think another league would be a good test because he often looks poor when playing in Europe against teams with decent defences. I remember when he was on top form and he came up against Milan. In both legs he didn't look a quality player. I don't think it was unreasionable to say I will wait for him to play in another league before judging him.
Ronaldo was outstanding in the champions league last year, and the top scorer in the competition. Without him, United would not've reached the final. I don't like the him as a person, and have seem my ar*e with him big time over the actions over the summer, but you surely cannot questions his quality.

I'd question that. The quality of the league German league is pretty good. Regardless, what Ribery has done for Bayern and France has, in my opinion, elevated him to the top echelon of world football.
