If I am looking to build a team from scratch, my first choice would be a player in the mold of Dunga or Gattuso.

I just cant agree that Iniesta is as good as Ronaldo. He did have a great season but were it not for an incompetent Norwegian, his name would not be on peoples lips.

Ronaldo is special because he is one guy who can individually dominate a match. Were it not for his petulance, he would be rated in the same teir as the worlds greatest.

Other examples of teams thinking they could replace their superstars:

Milwaukee Bucks trading Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Edmonton trading Wayne Gretzky

The Twins trading Rod Carew
