Lionel Messi

I'm just glad that we have no divers or dirty winkers like that at Man Yoo!

Feck me,pires was one of the worst divers around as was ashley cole.Every club has divers and cheats it is an unfortunate part of the game and one that is in all honesty not needed.I just wish the authorities would clamp down on it as they seem to do feck all about it at the moment!

No offence Spuddy but if you have seen better than messi playing for anyone in england then let mclaren know!!!

Can't argue with you about the England pre-madona's Mentalist, but he will never be in the same class as the likes of Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Zidane, Puskas, Best, Eusebio etc....

Think it is difficult to compare at his age but he does look special.

Bergkamp is the greatest player i have seen but that may be a bit biased.

From what i have seen on old tv programmes cruyff was technically the best but like bergy hollands lack of international silverware may sway public opinion towards maradonna or pele.

I think messi will go on to win things at all levels as he is with one of the top 3-4 clubs in the world and argentina look like winning things.
