The day he's old enough to kick a ball we should give him a contract.
Hes definitely better with rest than dead tired. Look at the champions league finals or the Copa del Rey final last year. That goes for all of our players. Its often the difference between that extra burst of speed or crisp link up play. If we didn't have those matches agaisnt Madrid last year at semi final time, we might have got past Chelsea by resting players at the weekend. You can always tell when mental fatigue is weighing them down. Incidentally, I would say Pique and Alves are the ones that most need a break right now.
Too bad Messi didn't mate with one of Maradona's daughters. That would have been awesome. A kid with the blood of La Pulga and El Diego...
Funny isn't it - Guardiola never rested him, never injured in four seasons (bar Ujfalusi's disgusting tackle). He's been rested a couple times this season and he's suffered two injuries. May that be a lesson to the muppets who consistently harp on about how he needs to rest, it's became tedious in the fact EVERY single week it's being said on here.
