Then I guess he's going to die on wednesday. :lol: Jking I just hope we win though, I want us to win the treble to send Xavi off.

I think it's better this way, by the time he comes back Iniesta will be winding down on mins probably leaving Samper,Rafinha,Halilovic(Maybe) and Suarez to compete with Rakitic for the cm mins.

Messi 38 Ronaldo 39 I believe.

Hope Lee's body matures well, needs to be able to take bumps while still keeping on his feet like Messi does.

Deulofeu on the left would be the same as Neymar imo just not as good, I don't think him being a winger would be that much of a problem. Although I think he might prefer Munir who can play in all three positions and is a goalscorer first and creator second as opposed to Deu.

Well I went to watch his highlights during the porto game, he sombreroed one player and I've yet to see rafinha do that but aside from that he didn't show any dribbling skills that I havent seen rafinha do before. Rafinha cannot compare to Thiago atm in terms of his ability to control/affect...

I'm not saying Rafinha is equal to Thiago as a player I was just talking about their dribbling, Thiago > Rafinha in passing and creating in general. I'd say Rafinha is better defensively and that they're comparable dribbling wise.

Well atleast from what i've seen, Rafinha this season has gone past 3-5 players multiple times. Unless Thiago has turned into iniesta/messi since his injury(I havent watched since hes been back) and is running through complete sides i'd say they are comparable in this aspect.

Lack of game time could do with his lack of pace.

He won't do the tricks and turns but he'll get past the same amount of people as Thiago which is the important part if you ask me.

Well he passes like a CM, unlike busi he has mobility. He also has excellent dribbling skills. But honestly I think he'll be a cm because if he gets anytime at dm with the first team he'll probably get exposed for being defensively inept(atleast as a top flight dm), at that point lucho will...

That goal against Arsenal :worthy: Honestly I think i would trust Deulofeu over Pedro if one of MSN got injured. Pedro is a great team player but he won't win you a match (Unless he regains his 2010-2012 form). Atleast with Deulofeu you get the chance of him scoring a goal of the month out of...

I agree that players can be overhyped, but that is also true for older players. Zidane being a perfect example. Rated top 5 by many but iniesta can match every achievement he made with the exception of the individual trophies which can be discounted as everyone can agree that Zidane wouldn't...

What I mean is that with Mascherano on the field, Lucho can sub in another CB for Busi and move Mascherano up (Especially since he never seems to get tired), if Alba gets sent off like in the last game Matheiu can be subbed on(Although that indeed does not happen much and Matheiu is essentially...

Easy to forget how good Eto'o really was back in the day.

Idts I'd say the lastest is next summer, after than Mascherano and Mathieu will be playing on borrowed time depending on their genetics and we need players to get accustomed to playing for us before the ones before them retire.

I don't think Neymar's stats are inflated because La Liga is a stat padding league, I think its inflated because he has Messi providing for him. The amount of chances he gets from those cross field balls, If suarez got that kind of service he'd probably have as much goals as Messi, or atleast close.

Its the context you use it in, if used as a way to refer to a friend its generally accepted as okay. If used to express hate/ negativity its not taken well.

Yeah thats what I meant by creativity, in terms of assisting consistently and creating chances Messi is better but Ronaldinho just did things people never think about doing and thats why he's a legend imo.

Creativity wise I'd say Ronaldinho was the best ever, did things Messi will probably never be able to do but Messi is the better player.
