Not sure can count the Olympics as any great footballing trophy?

Does anyone think messi is a better player now because he won the WC compared to a few years ago?

I think Legends are generally always past players tbh. When ever I think of a legend they almost have to be retired to be counted in my mind. But like everything in football it’s subjective. Only have to look at the split between whether people think messi or Ronaldo is better, let alone before you throw maradona and Pele into the mix.

Winning the Olympics in 1952 was a big deal.

Messi winning the World Cup sealed the deal on who is the actual goat.

I agree with your last paragraph. I think sometimes there's a blurry line between icon and legend. Sometimes they are the same thing, sometimes they aren't.

Can’t remember the last player we signed directly from South America? Coates?

We very rarely take the risk and rather then move to europe for a season or two first to help them acclimatise.

It’s rare for most prem teams as style is so different that being able to adapt is tricky.

We better start to sign directly now and take some risks. If he goes to another club they are going to ask for £M100 if we want him.

I'm prepared to take the chance. If it is actually happening, he won't be thrown straight in anyway because the S American leagues run until December so he will need time to recover from the season before going straight into another one.

Lucas Leiva but that may have been before Coates

If other Premier league can arrange permits, I cannot see why we cannot.

Not all other PL teams are aiming for the same standard. The quality we're after have usually been snapped up by "lesser ranked" European team in their younger years because they'd be able to offer then something that would (at that stage) be less use to us

Wolves fully expect Pedro Neto to leave the club in January on one condition, and Liverpool have been backed to beat both Arsenal and Manchester United to his signature, per reports.
 
if a player wins the equivalent of the European Cup there then I think we can take a risk.

there is no equivalency here, Allan, lucas, Coates were all very inexperienced and young coming over.

this guy has 156 games under his belt.

Which makes you wonder why none of the big 3 Portuguese teams have signed him as yet
