i've watched Robinho and messi play a couple of times and must comment that while i have seen the earlier drift away during games e.g (Madrid vs Arsenal), i've not,... infact never seen Messi have an indifferent game. Or maybe i'm wrong?

I'm not a completely rabid fan. Messi's had some not so great games for Argentina (he wasn't on top form v Holland in the WC, and he was pretty mediocre v Brazil in a friendly). For Barca, though, he's very reliable - more so than Ronaldinho (although I wouldn't claim he's a better player yet).

Messi is pure quality, specially if you consider his age. He is strong, fantastic vision and a nightmare for his defender.
I was not praising him so much until now, as Sport and EL Mundo Deportivo usually put Barcelona players far too high, but he surely deserves that.
One more thing: let him grow even more. Don't spoil the kid too much, as we may be looking at a very specail player soon.

Messi has a level of talent comparable to the young Maradona, and is also level-headed and sensible - therefore there are no limits as to what he can achieve.
I think AW is a truly great manager, a visionary who trusts young players.

Yes Messi is a great young player, but I have one word in response...

Fabregas

I am not an Arsenal supporter, but there is no doubt that that they play a beautiful game of football. Their skill on the field is really a treat to watch.

You have a great collection of players - Henry, Fabregas, Van Persie and Rosicky are top notch talents.

about Messi,he is one of the players whom i think will vanish soon out of the seen before we can see a great play out of him because of the toll of injury he has made himself in in his stylish play.
