caseyjones 3,009 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Balague relates an interesting take on it here. Probably the best explanation that I have seen.Who is better? Ronaldo or Messi? A top manager has got the right answer In a private conversation with a top Premier League manager, he came up with the definitive line on who is better -or so I feel. He thinks Messi is pure talent, and he is playing the same way he did as a kid (with some adjustments of course). But he feels that in 20 years we will see more Ronaldos, with bodies build up to be fast, strong, big and elastic at the same time, able to strike the ball powerfully. Cristiano, he feels, can be build. A Messi appears once in a lifetime. I agree.http://sulia.com/channel/la-liga/f/5d39e607-1db4-40b3-8b88-1b653ef0b858/?source=twitter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 18,049 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 It's a bit like the Federer vs Nadal debate. Which is to say that if you honestly can't see that Messi is objectively better, you should be euthanised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,338 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Messi your a fucking downie if you think otherwise, you would be aswell topping yourself if you seriously think Ronaldo is better as if you are retarded enough to think that you are too much of a retard to achieve anything in life so you might aswell end it now.

TerryHurlock 21 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Read in Graham Hunters Barca book that we enquired about signing him on loan in 2005 (Jan Wouters was friends with Ten Cate, Riijkards assistant at the time) and they actually were about to send us Iniesta until he scored a wonder goal in a friendly and we never got the chance to see any of the little masters at Ibrox.

baxterboy 476 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 arrogance is a common component of many brilliant players in the way they play the game.some do it with such style that they can get away with it - like baxter, gazza and ronaldinho.then there's others, like ronaldo.never in more than 50 years of watching football have i seen a player do it the way he does - what a fucking poofter!!!

topgoalie 637 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Messi is the nearest i have seen to the best player ever to grace a football park,Maradona,nowhere near as good but he is the nearest,so Messi for me.Its a shame but they are few and far between now,so enjoy,otherwise i know where Casey is coming from,more manufactured players in future is the key,unfortunatly...
