Modern football is about pace & power. I've heard that before in the 90's...


Can you name any modern day attacker who dominates without pace and power, please don't name Messi, even though he is a genius, and 5,5" he is as fast and strong as an OX.

It looked like you were talking about football in general, not attackers.

Van Persie, Cavani,... cba to think about this since I don't agree at all. Pace and power are great attributes but you can be a brilliant footballer without.

Well Cavani and Van Persie are pretty strong guys, they're not as frail as Neymar.

This thread is reminding me of some who claimed Bojan was better than Messi, based on his displays in segunda. It wasn't even here, but in the deceased orkut.

I don't remember Bojan being ever exceptional in the Segunda, I knew he played very few games and was promoted.

Adama has a lot still to learn, to start saying he should be promoted or is better than Pedro and Alexis already it totally absurd.

All young players are different, some are brilliant at 17/18 and are ready for the first team and some are brilliant at 17/18 and fail when thrown into the first team and not had time to fully develop.

Let Adama show for a season he is too good for the b team and then let him move on.

Barca B wasn't in Segunda with either Messi or Bojan ,the team got relegated from 3rd to fourth divison in 2006-2007 which was the only year he played with Barca B and he actually was the team best hope to avoid relegation and they played him a lot at the end of the season

It is true that many claimed Bojan was gonna be better but it was based on his first season in the 1st team(that season with Rijkaard)
He was doing way better than Messi in 2004-2005 did in the 1st team when he was at same age ,people thought he could develop at same rate and turn into same player specially with Messi injury crisis for 3 consecutive years
And at same time a lot of people also laughed about the idea of Messi playing at same level of R10 and thought selling him to make Messi the star of the team was wrong move
There is a risk with hyped young players but it goes both ways ,legends were at some points a prospects that people laugh at the idea of comparing them to other stars ,while many others prospects to be bust
