Lionel Messi - Aged 10

I just about knew how to kick the thing at 10! Looking at that, its so clear why Barca got him and nurtured him. As one poster said, players like that are a rare breed, and its only right those players play for clubs of the calibre of Barca. I know some may not want to hear that, but thats how it should be. I would feel almost embarassed if we had a player like that, paying loads just to have him. Players like that belong with the true great clubs in my opinion. Gotta hand it to the kids family too.
 
Special special player. You can see why he is so good at dribbling just look at him do it when he was 10.

Would love to play barca at com's the guy would get a standing ovation.

After his masterclass at the Nou Camp the Arsenal fans were even singing his name.
 
A 10 year old like that in the video would never go on to become the player Messi is today. The coaches in this country would of coached it out to him and would most probably have put him left back due to his size.

This is why i will be singing Viva Espana in the summer!

Sorry Pigeonho I completely disagree with that, Barca are a very special team because of the top quality they have found or occasionally bought, what is totally unfair in England is that it is difficult to attain such young prolific potential as our laws just don't allow us to bring foreign children into this country. Basically Barca have a advantage over English teams and are allowed to search the world for talent meanwhile teams like City have only have the likes of Grimsby to find the next Messi.

It's fecking annoying to think that out there somewhere will be some kid with superstar talent and we won't be able to bring him to the COMS due to some silly billy laws!!!!!

I may be wrong, but I think this is why aren't scouring south America as it's just not worth it.....Leaving the field open to the likes of Barca to maintain there search for the next Lee Bradbury, Messi and Kaka. BASTIDS!!!!!

Cheer Pasta I realise this, but also none of then have his talent either.

My point was that we would never get a 10 year old Messi due to laws, so Barca and yes they are special, have an advantage over us.

Also I do agree with you about the British coaches taking away that free flying raw talent and leaving English footballers less attractive to watch than that of certain countries.

Lee Bradbury was English by the way....... :)

I don't agree with that, we have had foriegn lads in our academy at a young age. Messi moved to Spain when he was 13, we've had Irish lads at that age and Spanish and French lads at 14-15.

We don't find the Messi's of this world because of how football is taught in this country. If City scouts had been watching that game, they would of thought he was a good player but too small to do anything and would of chosen the biggest lad there or the one who showed the most strength. I've remember seeing a lad play for Liverpool U11 or U12 side in midfield against one of the Sheffield sides and he tore them to pieces with his passing and vision, i thought he was going to be some player in the future, i saw him again two years later this time he started on the bench and came on at right back, i asked some of the parents what had happend to him and they said he hadn't developed physically. HE WAS 13 FFS, had another 6-7 years to develop and he was being pushed out for some freak of a lad who was the same size as me who was hopeless. It's the same up and down the country, bag of shite!

p.s Bradbury was like De Stefano in that sunny game against Blackpool at home first game of the season ;-)
