Messi is great and all but he is past it despite still retaining his world class composure.

Neymar has already surpassed him as Barca would do well to cut their losses and build their team around Neymar.

Neymar the future, Mehssi is not. Lets move on now

Arq I hate to tell you this but you are 100 % wrong. I hope you aren't serious...

Cryuff trying too hard to challenge Pele for the ultimate idiot title.

by harhar11 Tue Jun 25, 2013 5:56 pm

I don't agree with you on that, Pedram. Cruyff, unlike Pele, actually knows alot about football, its just that he is very bitter towards Rosell. So he is very negative towards anything that he does..

by halamadrid2 Tue Jun 25, 2013 6:04 pm

Cruyff does run his mouth alot though and most of it isn't related to football being played on the pitch

by Tomwin Lannister Tue Jun 25, 2013 6:11 pm

Exactly, he should stop ruining his reputation. Which unfortunately for him means he should stop giving his opinions all together.

He is not far off but something for Barcelona to consider after a year or so Laughing

would happily trade Messi with Jose Angel Laughing

Barcelona wanted him back then rofl

Well he's still an idiot then.

Yeah, one of the greatest minds in history is an idiot.

Fanboys probably thought Ibra and Messi would be a success as well.

He is an idiot for thinking Neymar maybe an unnecessary signing? I don't wanna presume anything as I know you have been a fan of his Old Johan's work before...

Comparing Neymar to Ibra is idiotic....

1. Ibra needs to have the team built around him and thrives on being the centre piece of the attack....

Neymar does not need the team built around him and if anything he thrives when he it isn't and unlike Ibra he doesn't play in central positions and doesn't need to be centre piece of attack and again if anything thrives when others are lending him creative support.

Anyway Cruyff is a legend but in this case what he's saying is very idiotic....

Firstly Barca's attack is in desperate need of rejuvenation.... Messi is the only one who does anything; Villa is past it, Pedro has been crap for 2 years and Sanchez hasn't been anywhere near good enough.

Anyone that has seen Barca over the last 2 years has seen that Messi aside the attack is extremely toothless and thus its easy for big teams to stop them.

So again that is a very stupid comment to say its an unnecessary signing, when its arguably the biggest issue they have.

Secondly i won't call him stupid to say Messi and Neymar won't work but i will call it very short sighted as anyone has paid close attention to Neymar's career will know that it will work perfectly.

Same reaction.

This is not even debatable.

Has Neymar went to Real, and he talked about selling Cr7 , i would have understood.

I want whatever Cruyff is smoking.

You can't compare Neymar's attitude to Ibra's. Neymar has been saying that he wants to help Messi in being the best player in the world while Ibra is well known to have a huuuge ego and doesn't want to play second fiddle to anyone..

Just saying , Ibra was never going to be a 2nd fiddle anywhere. you don't pay 50m + eto'o for a second fiddle. Messi was not the main player of the team back then but a choice has been made and it was the good one.

Neymar has much more chances to fit in

by Nirgall Wed Jun 26, 2013 10:48 am

This is not jealousy and in fact it has nothing to do with Messi. This is sheer hate towards the current president of barcelona and an effort to make his star transfer seem stupid.

Although, I think it was him who ended up looking like an idiot. Even If Messi and Neymar would not do well together, we all know who would leave in that situacion.
