A lot of the "hype" stems from the fact that Brazil is turning him into a nationwide icon to lead them into the WC and Santos trying to inflate his transfer fee. I've seen him play and he is really good against bad defenses but who knows what he is going to be like against a tight European...

Well considering this was a game to rest starters to some extent i'd actually opt for Villa to get a chance as CF instead of Cesc as a false 9. This gives more chances for Tello/Deulo/Cuenca to play and Villa can guide them and bail them out if necessary. Also since Villa rarely ever gets to...

Are we talking about the same person? I never thought that someone would describe Mario Balotelli, the player who once tried to get a backheel goal against galaxy, as "quite simply incredible"? I didn't see him during his inter days but that's really hard to believe lol.

Oh god i didn't think it was that bad....... This could really stunt his development and he was having a great season so far. It's a shame :( In other news Baptistao has now been linked with Manchester United. If he moves there it will no doubt destroy his career. No playing time and United...

Cristiano is obviously the 2nd best goalscorer in the world today and one of the best in the last 30 years or so. Iniesta is just better though in terms of talent and memory. I agree with Ursegor that Iniesta will always be remembered for his clutch performances and delivery on the highest...

toaster.

I don't think it's THAT big of an issue. I mean all he really does is play off his line much more and get involved in more passes. It wouldn't take a new goalkeeper too long to develop that skill and become comfortable with it. If Valdes does leave then i'd wanna see ter Stegen or De Gea. ter...

I can kind of see where you are getting at. Iniesta is more involved in the buildup play and the entire thing throughout the match while Messi's main strength is in the final stage of the buildup during the goalscoring opportunities. Obviously Messi does contribute a lot throughout the entire...

twisted knee. i don't think it was that bad.

All 3 are great prospects. Seems funny that after a generation of someone like Arbeloa as first choice right back, there will be a generation of 3 huge potential talents all trying to replace him. I wonder which one will get a spot in the WC squad next year.

..........I'm getting loads of messages from my Madridista friends telling me that ronaldo deserved the ballon d'or by using "5 goals in the last 2 games" as an argument. Pathetic when for a good portion of this season he has been very off form (by his standards). Cristiano seems to score a high...

except Alexis.

Andres is a magician but so is Messi and he's been far more consistent over the year even when the rest of the team was underperforming. Iniesta is my favorite but there is no denying that Messi is the best.

Wow...........Bojan seems like a sad little unwanted puppy

Hugo Mallo is more likely to move than Aspas. In fact Mallo would be a good buy for Madrid considering that Arbeloa is their best right back but i doubt they would place a bid for any player who isn't an established star. If Aspas were to move he'd be a good business deal for someone like...

All it takes is one start and one goal to fire him back into form and give him confidence. I pray that it happens soon.

Maybe in certain legs of the UCL or CDR if the first legs are won by a margin. Though his only possibility in those competitions would be coming on as an impact sub. Although in the liga i doubt that they will wait until Barca have mathematically won to give him playing time. I mean it's not...

Patience, my friend...

Sometime within the next week the Messi tribute videos will start rolling out.

Well Bale should have been on the UK Olympics diving team that's for sure.
