Well you can throw in Ngog and Babel as far as I am concerned.

okay, so lucas, ngog n babel, we could probably offload and make 12-14mio. So we need about about 50-60mio more for wonderkid? :)

Quite simply we need rid of Benites, Gillette and Hicks.

Yes.... Messi is brilliant, but without such a team of good players around him he wouldn't be that good.
Some credit has to go to his team mates and also to his manager for getting them all to gell so well.
I saw the match also, and they did rather make Arsenal look rather second rate.

Agreed to a certain degree EM, but he'd be good in any team, but yes, any world class player does need those around him to support and play him into the game. Players like Messi, Rooney, Pele, etc do need the ball and they do need players good enough to give them that ball.

He's the nearest I've seen to George Best.

I just such a shame that many of Bestie's finest performances
were never caught on film. I walked away from OT many times
in awe of what I'd seen him do, knowing that only the 60,000
present had witnessed it.

I only saw him play once but he was awesome.

Yes...
A year or so ago I went to a local charity do which incorporated a book-signing session by Alan Hudson (who at that time was living in Cyprus).
As well as re-counting some very humurous incidents of his days as a football player and a very good friend and "sidekick" to George Best, Alan showed us some video clips of goals scored by both himself and George, and it certainly brought back memories and a reminder of what a great football player George Best was ...
Later in the evening, I chatted with Alan for quite some time, and it was very obvious of his immense admiration for George's skill as a player (both on the football field and off field with the ladies
)------ This thread is Archived ------

Hi Elsson

Compare and contrast.

elsson: Well I was never good in either field. Never was good in the box.
(both on the football field and off field with the ladies )
Oh that !
Yes Alan especially admired George's skill at pulling some really gorgeous birds (as he puts it
) so much so that he would have been quite having any of George's leftover.... He is quite a character to chat with... humour and great little anecdotes

bodleing: Some of his quotes.
In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol and it was the worst 20 minutes of my life.
I spent a lot of my money on booze, birds and fast cars - the rest I just squandered.
I used to go missing a lot... Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World.

Yep, very much Alan's style in quotes....
Think I'd better get out of here now before anyone catches on that I have hijacked the Messi thread
