Messi
The World's greatest ever player supposedly leaving Barcelona. Bit of a shocker. I honestly seen him finishing his career as a one club man.
Where do you think he will end up?

Re: Messi
I think it will be either Man City or stay at Barca. Imagine he went to Juventus to play alongside Ronaldo? It’d be like FIFA in real life.
It's not where you're from it's where you're at.

He is for me. But it is of course arguable and many people will say it is Christiano Ronaldo, Maradona, Pele or Zidane.
I think most football fans would agree those are the top 5 at least.

Re: Messi
Messi is the best ever for me. Like Ronaldo too, but just think Messi is a better all round player. Too young to have properly seen Pele and Maradona for me wasn't consistent for the length of time both Messi and Ronaldo have been. Zidane was a great player but for me he is a bit back at number 5 or potentially lower.
Messi will stay at Barca. He'll get talked around.

Re: Messi
You make a good point about consistency over a long period of time, that probably gives Messi the edge over Maradona. Pele was before my time.
It's Maradona for me because he combined incredible football talent with being an absolute competitor who would do anything to win a football match. In the last few years, when Argentina or Barcelona are struggling, Messi just stands with his hands on his hips like it's nothing to do with him. Maradona would be bollocking his team mates to up their game and leading by example wherever he could.

Re: Messi
Love wee Diego - some player - but a bit like Gascoigne was never able to keep himself physically fit enough to be in the Messi/Ronaldo league. Those boys have totally professionalism in terms of looking after their physique. As we know Maradona was really the opposite. Just think if Gascoigne had a Messi/Ronaldo mentality England would probably have more than one WC.

Re: Messi
Imho Diego on his game was better than Messi. Would also add that Fat Ronaldo when he was on his game was better than Christiano Ronaldo.
Too much commotion

Messi basically scored Diego's best ever goal.

Re: Messi
Staying with Barca afterall.
I think that is the correct decision.
I like big Ronnie Koeman and i think he will get Barcelona going again.

Massive publicity stunt. Wonder how much he made out it?
