Aye, very good but he's nae Wayne Rooney:rolleyes:

Seriously though, rarely in a life time will one see such a great player.:drool:

[Marty-Hibee]

Does he see everything in slow motion or something? You hear about players being a second or a yard faster than other players...he's about an hour and 10 miles ahead of everyone else.

Phenomenal:agree:

[HibeeMcGinn1]

hes no bad, if he sticks with it he'll do well. bet you he'll never score against us though :devil:

I had a friend at school who held onto the ball like young Messi. He did everyone's nut in by hogging the ball and never, ever pass. He was built like a rake and tall -doing a shoulder barge felt like being jabbed by a skeleton.
He used to sulk when his own team mates would tackle him just to get the ball off him -seriously.

Hardly a fair comparison though is it?

Rooney is an old fashioned style striker, strong, direct, single minded and improving all the time as a finisher. Easily in the top 2 or 3 strikers in Europe at the moment.

Messi is the definition of a 'free role'. Despite the fact he plays as part of a front 3 for Barca he doen't really hit the line like an old fashioned winger or play through the middle like a striker. He's all about tricks and skill but he also has an end product.

Of course Messi is better than Rooney but that doesn't mean Rooney isn't a special talent. It's a bit like having a go at Stephen hawking because he's not as good as physics as Einstein or Newton were.
