Well, what can you do if you are spoilt with choices? We had Rooney-Ronaldo, then Rooney-Ronaldo-Tevez and Rooney-Ronaldo-Tevez-Berba. Now we're having Nani to step up and play consistently.
Park has been brilliant even in his PSV days. When you come to a bigger club, of course you won't be playing the 'STAR' card anymore. Plus, there are more talents than what they had for PSV. It's no surprise, really.
pretty true and u dun really see him making noise of not starting etc which is one of the reason i really liked him...
always enjoyed seeing him playing agaisnt big teams especially in the champions league...

Ronaldo: Ferguson is best in the world
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has paid tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson - branding him the best manager in the world.
The Manchester United manager spotted his talent and signed him from Sporting Lisbon back in 2003.
And there was no turning back.
Ronaldo collected three Premier League titles as well as a Champions League winner's medal during his six-year stint at Old Trafford.
Under the tutelage of Ferguson, Ronaldo developed into one of the best players in the world - leading him to win the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008.
A year later, he signed for Madrid on a world record fee of £80 million.
Speaking in an interview with publication Metro, the 25-year-old was probed to make a comparison between Ferguson and current manager Jose Mourinho and he was quick to give his former mentor the best possible accolade.
"In some ways, they are alike - they both have plenty of experience and have won all there is to win in football," Ronaldo said.
"The only difference that comes to my mind is that one is older than the other. I loved working with Sir Alex. We got on really well and today he is my friend. From where I am concerned, Sir Alex Ferguson is the best coach in the world."
The Madrid winger also spoke about his slow start to the season, where he failed to find the net for the first four games before going on to score 13 goals in 16 matches in all competition.
"My task has not changed. I work, I stay calm, and I let things come to me. It is true that I had to wait some matches to score goals, but from that moment everything has changed.
"This is proof that football is unpredictable. That is the situation I am experiencing now and I am happy for it. I hope it will continue like this."
Ronaldo went on to hail the effect of Mourinho at the Santiago Bernabeu and the players he brought into the club - particularly Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira.
"There is more discipline. Mourinho has adjusted the way that we play. He is a fantastic coach, and the titles he has won prove his value.
"[Ozil and Khedira] are both excellent players. They continue to surprise me, like they did at the World Cup. I love playing with them."
In conclusion, he was coy when quizzed on who he thinks will win the Ballon d'Or title.
"That it a hard question. We will see what FIFA decides this year."
