Well if your logic is fair and balanced, there must only be a very tiny list of players throughout history you consider a star.

How can a man with 165 goals in 308 matches (108 in 145 for Barcelona - their 3rd highest goalscorer ever), 37 goals in 80 international caps, 2 Champions League medals (scored in both finals as well - you can hardly claim he's not a big game player), 3 La Liga titles, African Nations Cup twice, 3 time African Player of the Year etc etc etc etc, and still only 28 years old, ever NOT be considered a "star"?

Eto'o would be the top striker at Man United by a country mile.
