Still think that Maradonna was above all . Won Napoli the Italian league !
I would probably have to say yes Messi is the best. He does something which probably only Maradonna did and that is be both the midfield and attack at the same time. He provides Barca with most of its creativity but also most of its goals, that is very unique. Slim Ronaldo by contrast doesn’t do the midfield job as much.
In terms of raw talent I would probably say Ronaldinho is the best ever, a lazy party boy maybe but skill level beyond what I had previous seen. If he had Slim Ronaldo’s work ethic bloody hell.

Aguero and Higuain were the best players for Germany in that final.
Messi is NOT the best ever player.
Which United player is it then, in your opinion?
Portugal's Ronaldo would get close dough brain.
You miss him still? :dierpochhug:
Barcelona 6-1 Paris St-Germain (6-5 agg)
Barcelona make Champions League history by becoming the first team to overturn a first-leg 4-0 deficit to reach the quarter-finals.

IMO, Messi is probably the best player at the moment, but not as good as Pele or Maradona.
In your opinion, why?
What would make him the best player ever? Having the same amount of World Cups as Stephen Nzonzi?
Maradona is the best player I've ever seen.
I've never understood why some people say that Messi can not be regarded as the greatest player ever until he has won the World Cup.
It's a bullshit argument.
Pele won the World Cup three times. If he had played for San Marino, he never would have come close to winning it.
That doesn't suddenly make him a worse player.
He'd be a genius surrounded by dickheads.

I'd like to see Messi play in the Premier League.
But, on the other hand, if he's as successful as I think he would be then I wouldn't want him to stay for long and raise whoever he plays for (certainly not us) to another level.
So maybe he could stay for 3 months before faxing in his transfer request.
For me I think Messi is the most consistently brilliant player, he is both a striker and the creative hub for a team, the only other player like that was Maradona in the ability to be both the focal point of the midfield and also attack at the same time. Pele was a great striker but I don’t feel he had the all round game of either Maradona or Messi.
I can understand people saying Maradona in that he carried Argentina and Napoli and perhaps at his peak was the best, Messi’s peak was just longer.
I will say this I have never seen a more dangerous passer than Messi and I have seen Scholes, Xavi and quite a few other top passers live. People look at Messi’s dribbling and goal scoring but it’s his passing that often impressed me the most.
Best player I have ever seen is Zidane. Pure class as a footballer. Shame he tarnished his legacy with a stupid headbutt.
Agree with that.
I think George Best was the greatest of the lot though.
According to a bloke at work's app(Forbes) he has agreed terms with Man City
