Messi>Robinho
He's quicker, stronger, more agile, a better passer, a better decision maker. He would rip the Premier League apart. You really think people like Faye and Shawcross would get close to Messi?
it is to easy for players like messi and ronaldo in spain i agree with andy gray i dont think messi could cope in the preier league look at robinho he couldent cope. only way messi could cope is if he was at united or chelsea
he said that the spanish league is no way near as physical as the permier league so as messi is a small player and not known for strength how would he cope at a club like stoke or blackburn which are long ball physical teams.. he said messi when he played against chelsea 4 team in the last couple of years has done nothing.. now imagine against a more physical side which will basically foul him out the game
again the points still stands. Messi spent his formative years getting kicked to bits in la liga, he can certainly cope with the physicality. just because he is small doesn't mean he is weak, now when you couple his decent strength with supreme speed, agility, balance and technical skills, players have trouble getting near him, let along foul him, as Jake said, thats why they stand off him in La ligaThis is rubbish i was watching monday night football when he was talking about it!

he never said he aint good enough for stoke city he said it would just be a completely different type of football for him as spanish football is easy as you have loads of time on the ball
if they could actually get near him, they're much more likely to get themselves sent off, if anything

not true, at all if you did watch la liga as much as you say then you would know how much he used to be fouled before he built a reputation, he would settle as quickly as silva has, another player who got kicked to bits before gaining a repla liga stand off everbody not just cus its messi... players have so much time its untrue.. i watch la liga every week and yes there are amazingly skillfull players but they have so much time to find that pass and show abit of quality. Messi is the worlds best no doubt... but i feel it would take him a long time to get used to premier league at its high tempo and physicalness although he has got the agility and speed ETC if you get someone like andy wilkinson form stoke who is so dirty its unture or cattermole man mark him they'll just stay near him whole time and foul him constantly then id doubt if he could do what he does now week in week out
he's talking about playing against sides like that.First question is Andy Gray, how would a team like Stoke or Blackburn afford him? And why would he leave the best team in the world for them?
Andy Gray needs to stop talking out his ****.
