Lionel Messi.......

Why does Laurent Charvet never make these "greatest of all time" lists? I have never understood why not.
 
I don't know if he's the best ever... yet. But I have found the need of late to DVR all the Barca matches so I don't miss anything Messi is doing. It feels when you're watching him that it's a once in a life time type of experience. Watching someone who is so good, and so much better then everyone else around him, is truly a treasure that we should all make a point of seeing as much as possible. If we do, twenty years from now when this is asked about someone new(like it is about Messi now) we can say, I saw him play, and I saw it a lot. There was no one like him.
 
Messi is an odd one. Obviously he's up there with the current best, but for me i'd unfortunately have to say the Tranny is the best player at the minute. Messi doesn't seem to be able to do it on the international scene, but that could be down to his bankrupt, drug fuelled manager. He no doubt has class, but unless you do it for club and country, you can't be called THEE best. You are right about one thing though, him leaving Barca is never going to happen whilst he's in his prime. A few reasons why:
1. Any move is a step down because he will always get first team football at the Nou Camp.

2. They will never have to sell to balance the books.

3. There is no 3, because the first 2 say it all.
 
I was born in 1982 and started watching football as a little boy so can't speak for before the mid-80s. However, technically speaking, the two greatest footballers I have ever seen play today: Messi and Ronaldo. Don't get me wrong, I don't like Ronaldo (although the longer he is away from the rags the more I will soften) but denying his talent is stupid.

This. He, (tranny), is awesom, its very simple really. The perfect footballing specimen. Over 6ft, strong, very skillful and has a perfect shot on him. Add his pace to that and you have what it says on the tin, the perfect footballing specimen and the fact he has done it in the toughest league in the world and is doing it in the most technical league in the world puts him ahead of Messi for me. Until Messi comes to united and does it, (he will never sign for us or anyone smaller than united over here), he can't claim to be the best.

Sorry pal but it doesnt matter how big you are. Messi has got a low sense of gravity and therefor makes him better at staying on his feet that ronaldo. Both world class superstars but messi's attitude is miles better. Look at tranny for instance, they was struggling in the second leg against Lyon and then ronaldo just didnt show up he tried but failed. Messi doesnt fail he is the ultimate player and is worth well over 250 million
