Messi - Best ever?

[ncfcwonky]

Look at all you old people reminiscing about old players!

Right, I'm going to drink some Jaegar Bombs then go and listen to some Skrillex and Basement Jaxx.

Bet you old people don't know what I'm talking about now.

For some of us, just remembering what we did yesterday is considered reminiscence therapy!

I am sure was all remember from those few hours when wiki said Adam Drury is better than Messi and would have been recognised as so if he had not have been so humble....

These "best player ever" discussions are pointless really.

It usually comes down to the best players in living memory from each contributor.

As anyone on the planet can now is aware of how good Messi he will get plenty of votes, a few less people can remeber Maradonna, and even fewer people can remember Pele.

And who knows about players way back.

Messi wouldn't be half the player he is without Xavi and Iniesta.

He's no Grant Holt

Messi is without doubt a brilliant player, but it's very difficult to compare players from different eras. We must take into account that Messi is playing in a game that is virtually a 'non contact' sport now. How would he have faired against hard uncompromising defenders of years gone by ? We'll never know. Best, Pele, Cruyff and to a point Maradonna all had to cope with being kicked up in the air for ninety minutes. I would wager that for all his brilliance, Messi would have been nowhere near as effective if he had been around in the 60's and 70's.

Just my opinion.

..........pitches are so much better now, and the ball is a different animal altogether. for those too young to remember, the old leather ball was dangerous to head, it must have been at least three times as heavy in wet conditions. don't think messi would have looked as good in a mud bath with the old ball.
