J_Stewart Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) 31 minutes ago, Peppino Impastato said: Aye he did it for real Madrid champ. Gerd Muller too. You don't get to decide what's up for debate the facts do and the facts are nothing Messi has done hasn't been done before. Johann Cruyff changed football much more than Messi has. Ronaldo Brazilian changed how they ref the game. You fanboys are hilarious. Was Puskas to Real Madrid one of the three major transfers you were involved in, or did you caddy for him? Is that why you're so determined to "fanboy" (shudder & cringe) for him? Messi is the best ever, by miles, it isn't a point for debate. Quote Messi should go to another league like what Ronaldo did. Would be cool to see how he would get on :-) I would love to see Messi in the Premier League, G_Man, especially back with Guardiola at City. Can only imagine how many goals he'd score and how much magic he'd produce against the likes of Swansea and Huddersfield. Sadly though I don't see him leaving Barcelona other than going for a season or two back in Argentina with Newell's Old Boys.

And you don’t get to say things are facts when they’re opinions. I have watched all the footballers you mentioned and I think Messi is not only better but significantly better. That’s not a fact, but it is my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Although I am a Messi fan boi the comparisons are not on a level playing field. Taking away the eras when defences were an utter catastrophe which removes the likes of Puskas and Kubala, how much better would the likes of Muller and Cruyff have been if they could actually play football without a maniac attempting to break their leg 6 times before the ref even thought of booking the miscreant. Much as i like him, if Messi was around in the 60s or 70s he would have been crippled on a weekly basis with zero protection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s single handedly changed the perception of what a footballer is capable of. No player has ever been the main creative hub and main goal scorer in their team, both domestically and in the Champions League over such a vast period of time. You think about the best players of previous generations, Pele, Di Stefano, Puskas, Romario, Ronaldo, all phenomenal goal scorers, or Maradona, Cruyff, Zico, Platini, Zidane, Ronaldinho, all incredible creative driving forces. Not one of those were capable of doing the other to the level of their goal scoring or creative counterpoints. Messi is. He’s quite simply changed what a footballer is capable of, and his achievement in doing so should not be normalised or taken for granted in any way. He’s the best there has ever been by a considerable distance which only grows as the weeks go by. On a separate note, another La Liga loss for Madrid. Zidane basically needs to win the champions league again or I can see him getting the bullet. I just get the feeling there'll be someone who can combine Messi and Ronaldo into one, at one point, a proper freak with both a superb footballing brain, and the raw power to go with it. Brazilian Ronaldo if he'd ever reached his peak, if you will. Might be totally wrong of course, and until that happens I'd fully agree Messi is the greatest there's ever been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Thinking Lionel Messi isn’t the greatest footballer of all time, is on par with moon howlers who believe the Earth is flat. ETA. The greatest scores again tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Poorest game I can remember Iniesta having in ages. Also still not convinced what the penalty was for; if it was for a supposed Digne handball then it was the wrong call, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I thought Las Palmas were excellent. Guys like Calleri and Etero were brilliant, ran the whole night and didn't give Barca an inch. Also, 6 minutes stoppage time last night. Well done, ref. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Third, unless they were counting someone temporary. Quique Setien left to join Betis after last season, and they had another two between the start of this season and Paco Jemez taking over in December. Fourth in the 2017 calendar year, maybe?

Dunno but when he was at rayo vallecano and ancellotti at Madrid ancellotti was so impressed watching vallecano he asked if he could go to watch them train. He went along and afterwards said he'd never seen anything like it in his life. The guys a genius. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
