I think you're confusing innovation with ability. Someone can come up with something new but not necessarily be a great player.

Can already see this is a pointless argument though, old blokes are going to favour older players, young blokes are going to favour new ones.

I'll temper this by saying Messi and Ronaldo are the two best footballers I have ever watched play the game since i watched my first game in Italia 90.
