Good link up play,
Good dribbling,
Good agility,
Good decision making,
Good technical ability.

based on his size hes pretty agile.

It would be interesting to see the player Ibra would be if he was Messi's height.

Ibra,Nerman,Villa when in form.Hazard,but he isnt really a great finisher/goalscorer

Götze, Reus and Kroos, though Kroos is lacking in agility a bit.
Özil as well, though his finishing isn't exactly perfect.

Götze is the closest to being complete in that regard, I reckon.

by Mr Nick09 Fri Feb 24, 2012 4:21 pm

Suarez finishing is akin to Robinho's

Seriously, Mt, you are describing Messi, and there is not another messi out there.

Gotze isnt a great finisher

by VivaStPauli Fri Feb 24, 2012 4:58 pm

He's a very good finisher, though. And we were only asked for "good".

Wait, wait, wait. I almost fell into a trap here.

Of course Götze is a great finisher. When did he ever fumble a good chance? Did you see the goal he put past Brazil?

by Onyx Fri Feb 24, 2012 5:08 pm

How about Aguero?

by The Franchise Fri Feb 24, 2012 5:10 pm

Aguero is the closest thing to Messi stylistically.

Though he doesnt have his passing.

by guest7 Fri Feb 24, 2012 5:18 pm

Am I the only one who is thinking about Benzema?

Got the finishing, the dribbling, the decision making, the technical ability, the passing and the vision, links up with özil/ronaldo/marcelo all the time

by billionmillion Fri Feb 24, 2012 5:46 pm

Most players that mentioned has no messi's agility, and thats one of the most important thing. and dribbling too

Answer to the topic i think Maradona (though he also lacks messi's agility)

by VivaStPauli Fri Feb 24, 2012 5:50 pm

He asked for good, not as good as Messi. It'd be retarded if we were looking for players as good as Messi, because we sure as hell would already know about them. :coffee:
