    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    The stats are an illustration. Messi is the best player in history, and brings more to a team than any other player could, statistically, tactically and psychologically. To some that's reason enough to want to keep him ahead of Suarez and Neymar. Besides, this team existed without Suarez or...

    Yeah, it looks weird. I would have chosen to face some other way, maybe with the club building in the background, but the photographer probably had a good reason to choose what he did, e.g. facing towards or away from the sun, contralight issues, etc.

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    It started with JamDav asking whether we'd rather "lose" Messi and have a Neymar/Suarez/Sandro trident, or "lose" Neymar and Suarez and have a Messi/Sandro/Munir trident. The discussion whether Messi outperforms the other two combined began when I said I'd rather keep Messi if I had to, because...

    Once again JamDav talking to himself and completely ignoring what he's replying to. Nice job, man.

    JamDav, ignoring hard facts and twisting others' words to suit his absurd arguments since Oct 2010. Makes sense, thanks.

    Does anyone know why they're training in match-day shorts rather than their usual training shorts?

    Who says he doesn't? There's an irrefutable fact, and that's that in the current world NT cycle, Argentina have been more successful than ANY OTHER TEAM IN THE ENTIRE WORLD except one. That's what being a runner-up is, you know. And on the official FIFA World Rankings as of August 6th, Argentina...

    Are you fucking kidding me? This is somehow negative for Messi? You must have overlooked the part where I sad ONLY SIX GOALS FEWER, not just "fewer". Only six goals fewer than the two other forwards, one of whom was next in line on the top scorer chart. That's an incredible stat even for the one...

    Nah, I remember looking into it a few years back. There's a road and a railway in between. The tall green fence you see on the photo is the end of the training complex. Here's a screenshot from Google Earth.

    The Messi with Argentina comments are ridiculous. The fact that Messi brought a below average Argentina team a step away from winning the World Cup and the Copa America speaks volumes about how much of an influence he has on an average team.

    And what happens when you take Messi out and lose everything he does for those world class players in front of him? They become invisible, too. Last season Messi only scored 6 goals fewer and made 2 assists fewer than Neymar and Suarez combined. He himself scored almost as many goals as two...

    Right now Barca needs Messi's midfield influence more than ever. I would rather lose Neymar and Suarez than lose everything Messi offers, which is a lot.

    Messi/Munir/Sandro, easily. Having Messi on the team is so much more than having a great forward. Real have Cristiano, Benzema, James and Bale and they still struggle to win trophies. Barca won trophies with Messi and Iniesta/Fabregas/Pedro/Alexis/injured-Villa/Tello/Cuenca on the wings.

    The blue stripe on the shorts makes no sense. The Nike logo is yellow, and the squad number is yellow. Why wouldn't the stripe be yellow as well, especially since it would match the shirt?! And I think of it in a different way. I think Nike invests stupid amounts of time and effort in these...

    Hoping for some awkward pics of Zubi and Barto. Joking aside, I'll love seeing Puyol and Abidal among our guys again.

    For some reason I already got used to them. I'm pissed about the side-stripe on the shirt not matching the side-stripe on the shorts, though. Why would they do that?!

    Imagine living in those apartments in the background and getting to watch training any time you like.

    Real consistently does great business selling, and we consistently don't. Them losing money on Illaramendi doesn't change that.

    I can't wait to see what suit he wears this time. :lol: The ceremony is tomorrow, right?

    Messi is definitely not the icing on the cake. He's the baker.
