The comparison is their stature when starting out, not current skills. So not an extreme comparison, much as you'd like it to be. I believe many people were quite happy to give Messi the same advice that you're trying to give to Poveda. They were just as wrong as you are. And if you're still offended by the mention of Messi, substitute his name with Lennon's. Exactly the same applies.
My opinion fella, you obviously think that because I said poveda needed to bulk up a bit and hasn't as yet shown any end product to be somewhat extreme, you can substitute plenty of others and I would certainly not be offended, I am quite prepared to eat my hat if poveda stays exactly as he is and turns into a worldly.....but I don't think he will no offense intended
So you're saying that Poveda needs to bulk up to make it. End of. How very narrow-minded. And almost certainly wrong, imo.
Personally I don’t think he needs to bulk up, more he needs to learn when to release the ball and not keep turning up blind alleys.
