10 - Lionel Messi - v1

[Beast]

Ouch Maradona is talking lots of shit these days..
after he opened fire on Valdano (for refusing to support his hiring as a Manager for the Argies )

'I don't like talking about pressure. Pressure is what someone feels when they get up at 5am to go to work and don't know if they'll earn enough to feed their family at the end of the day.'

'Players have responsibilities, not pressure,' he went on, 'and Messi knows he's got to stop promising and start delivering'

delivering as in saving your ass .. the kid just won a treble ffs

 

[Ustari]

He meant for the national team ffs.

 

[Metaphysical]

He meant for the national team ffs.

a forward can't produce if the rest of the team is an unorganised messi, can he?

everyone always says maradona won '86 by himself but his supporting cast was bloody good ffs. messi needs a similar supporting cast.

argentina should start kum/tevez and milito up-front with messi in the hole, given a free role.

they'll still need a volante, but that forward arrangement will solve a lot of problems.

 

[Cule Angles]

I suspect Bilardo may have been somewhat more tactically astute than Maradona as well.

 

[ryuken]

Tevez is not that good for the NT imo, should play Milito instead of him.

 

[Sallou]

Have to agree with ryuken here.

Speaking of which, I can't bloody wait to sit up and watch this match tonight (uh, tomorrow morning, I guess, but whatever.)
My dad goes out on a Saturday night, so chances are he'll come in a little drunk. We'll probably sit up with some beer and a chinese Can't wait! lol

 

[zanela]

Any truth to this agreement between Leo's father & Inter tht gives thm first choice in landing the player...

 

[Cule Angles]

This is the first I've heard about it.

 

[Metaphysical]

let them have first choice.

he's not leaving so it won't do them much good.

 

[zanela]

This is the first I've heard about it.

Its being discussed on forzainter & they quote La Gazzetta...Hence i asked if sme1 knew anything abt it.

let them have first choice.

he's not leaving so it won't do them much good.

And, u knw this for sure...I aint as optimistic as u r. Zanetti has bin giving interviews abt he'd convince leo to join Inter once he takes up a management role. I wish he'd just shut up.

 

[Gnegneri]

"Leo cuesta 250 millones de euros, una cláusula anti-Moratti…
¡Ja, ja! tranquilos, que la mejor cláusula de Leo es que es feliz en Barcelona, esa es la mejor forma de no sufrir. Pero en un futuro…"


All you need to know. Moreover, if we gave them a first option shizzle on Messi, I'm almost certain it would have an hidden agenda. Cause, you know, Messi is never going to leave, but the first option thing serves for something. Strengthen the bonds, PR!


This being said if the first option thing should be true, I don't really tie a lto of weight to it.

 

[Necro Spaaw]

I think Zanetti was jokeing.

 

[TiTi]

Can't wait for the match to begin... going to watch with my father.. both Argentina supporters

 

[zanela]

I think Zanetti was jokeing.

He wasnt, he has spoken abt it in the past as well...

 

[Necro Spaaw]

then he needz to shut it, or I'll brake his legs
