Re: Lionel Messi

[QUOTE=nelinho;1074744]See Messi rejected the offer by Anzhi (30 million Euro a year)...? They offered 250 million Euro...saying Messi rejected the offer, I am assuming that his buy out clause is 250 million Euro....All players in Spain must have a buy out clause still right?

250 million euro...you could win the Russian Premier league for a lot less...build a squad for fuck sake[/QUOTE]

And Spain is still in Economical turmoil.

Re: Lionel Messi

all that money for a sportsman...is this where we look at supply and demand and scratch our head thinking maybe this isn't the most efficient allocation of resources?

it is Leo Messi though...not Shane Warne or Cristiano Ronaldo.

So we can turn a blind eye..we turn a blind eye on far bigger scandals everyday...

Re: Lionel Messi

Messi accused of 4 million euro tax avoidance...facing up to 6 years on jail....

Haha there will be a civil war if he went to jail for a day.

Re: Lionel Messi

First time in 316 consecutive matches Barcelona didn't have more possession than their opponents. They won 4 - 0.

Messi failed to score too. Barcelona must offload him in the January transfer window.

Well said ;)

Re: Lionel Messi

The thing is, looking at the stats of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, they're pretty much at the same level. In my opinion, right now (2014 until now) Ronaldo and Messi are BOTH the best players in the world.

Yes, Messi is a fantastic player, but he doesn't always show it in the really important games. Messi was downright disappointing in the 2010 World-Cup. He was good, but not outstanding in the 2014 World-Cup. So, there's still room for improvement. ;)

Re: Lionel Messi

Most definitely there is room for improvement... goals in important games? I Can discuss that with thousands of arguments but thats not the case..

At this weird level, score is not the key.. they both are animals on that matter...

Messi is a total player, he scores, he makes possible Neymar and Suarez to score, he has magic.. hard to explain really..

Messi is the center of best player ever discussion, no to be better than Cristiano..

Anyway, both of them are contemporary and everyone who love this sport should feel grateful to see them play.

Re: Lionel Messi

These last competions have confirmed and embedded Messi as the best. Close call by ronaldo but no man messi has a long way still to go while I think ronaldo is burning out with 2 seasons left at his best.

Re: Lionel Messi

Another stunning goal from Messi last night :shock:

Re: Lionel Messi

what a beast

Re: Lionel Messi

Redundant, but he never stops to amaze the world with his magic.. If he has a good day there is no way to stop him.. And if Suarez and Neymar are inspired, Barcelona is unbeatable.

The only chance for Juventus on Saturday IMO is play the best game of the season and pray for those 3 not having a good day.

Re: Lionel Messi

Looking forward to the game tonight

Will be sure to stock up on the beers

i´ve just read this random comment which i think describes perfectly the idea 8)

" I have never seen a player who is an excellent playmaker at the same time a prolific goal scorer, its either you are one of them. The likes of CR7, D.Costa, RVP, L.Suarez, Ibrahimovich, are prolific goal scorers but not play makers. The likes of Ronaldihno, Xavi, Iniesta, Ozil, are excellent playmakers but not prolific goal scorers. This is what amazes me, Messi is a perfect combination of the two. an excellent playmaker and a prolific goal scorer. Messi is like a Xavi, Iniesta inside a Thierry Henry. Messi has the body movement of Iniesta, the vision and pass accuracy of Xavi, and P.Scholes, the ball control of Dimiter Bebertov or even better, the finishing of Thierry Henry. How can a player have the highest assist at the same time the highest goal scorer. This guy is something else. Even after he was moved from his central role deep into the midfield and outwide on the flanks, it never changed anything much he's still scoring goals, he's still assisting goals. I can't even tell what Messi's natural position is, because he fits into every position very well as though it is his natural position, jack of all trade master of all, he's versatile, a utility player. At first I didn't like Messi because I was jealous of him I wished my favourite player was like him but I have no choice, I have to admit it, even the blind can see it, even his haters deep down in their heart know it, Messi is the ideal footballer.Messi is the best footballer yet"

Vamos Messi, Vamos Argentina!!! Que hoy dia tiene que ganar el fútbol y no la compra de árbitros y los malos manejos de la fifa/ conmebol. Aguante Argentina!!!!

Re: Lionel Messi

What a sad day for football yesterday. I can't put myself to believe that chile is the champion of this Copa America.

This is probably going to be my only critique ever to messi, even though he is the greatest player in the world no doubt about that. Is that he has to stop making the decisions for the coaches and they need to stop listening to him. Obviously he hand picks them in this case I believe he picked martino for barcelona and the national team both failing to achieve their goals. I doubt coaches like Simeone or Bianchi would ever coach Argentina because they would have to deal with the messi politics. Yesterday sampaoli made the hardest yet most effective change in history of copa america finals by changing their star ( valdivia) without any hesitation. I can't imagine this ever happening with Messi.

The obvious sub change yesterday was tevez instead of higuain, but it seems like messi feels more comfortable having higuain on the pitch than tevez.

One thing is for sure This WC qualifiers chile will have it very tough and on every field that they play at, the home team will make sure they feel unsettled. Anyways my 2 cents.

Re: Lionel Messi

Notevayaslio

Re: Lionel Messi

I read Messi stops playing for the national team. :Down:

I really hope he changes his mind. He's 31 in 2018, am I correct? That's probably his last chance to win the World Cup. [FONT=arial]Miroslav Klose was 36 during the 2014 World Cup, so 31 is definitely not too old for a striker.[/FONT]
