Lionel Messi is tipped to be a top player in a few years, however watching the Barcelona - Real Madrid match the other night i relised he is already a absolutly brilliant striker. So how good will he be in a few years. Any one agree???
With the right guideance and attitude he can become the best in the world. Rykjard has to be close attention to him and make sure his upbringing is well taken care of.
I defo agree he is only a kid and look what he can do. Him and C.Ronaldo will battle for player of the year in future IMO
I think Leo Messi is an awsome player. The only Argentinian who deserves the title of "Next Maradona". I mean, everytime a good footballer from Argentina emerges he gets accredited that tirle wrongfully. He is the only one that got me convinced he might actually be able to follow on Maradona's footsteps. The rest (Pablo Aimar, Andres D'alessandro, Riquelme, Tevez) are just avarage!
Ive never classed Aimar, Riquelme, D'alessandro or Tevez as the next Maradona infact Ive never said that about Messi..

They did that a lot with Aimar and Riquelme when they were first discovered. Maradona said himself that Messi can be able to surpass him as a footballer, he met him during the 2006 WC.

He will not be the next Maradona. He will be and always be Lionel Messi. He is hes own player and I'm sure he wouldn't like to be always compared to Maradona cuz he has a class of his own.

There only one BEGGSY, Im gonna be greater than him"
you only just found out, man he has always had potential when i first saw him play, i knew he would turn inot a star, but only recentaly he has been declared the next marradona, they said that bout arca when he moved to sudnerland, when they were winning, now look at him.
he has to win a world cup before he even gets mentioned with Maradona. Plus Maradona played in Argentina. Messi was nurtured through Barca's amazing youth camp. Regardless, i agree he is playing bad ass and is one the young beasts out there playing football. It will be an honor to see him and giovanni on the same pitch in the future.
