Messi is also 1 goal from being top scorer in El Clasico, currently tied with Di Stefano at 18. And 13 goals from Champions League top scorer, Messi 59, Raul 71. Imagine being all these, even before reaching his prime. Laughing

You can guess, I dont follow stats and stuff like that. They dont tell me much.

But yeah, aslong as he played 30 games he should manage it. Though eventually I do believe there will come a time where he scores less and plays deeper and deeper.
He already drops very deep and plays like a 10.
if he drops any deeper,he will be a CM,lol.

True lol

But what I meant was, as you know he drops deep when the ball is at the back and perhaps too deep when its already in midfield. But once the ball is in the final third, he is getting into goalscoring positions.

Eventually, I wouldnt be surprised if that slows down in some time and perhaps leading to Barca using a 9 again.

Never seen player steal balls with such ease and quickness.

by Badamdar Mon Aug 19, 2013 9:27 pm

Damn he steals balls without hurting anyone. Its because he is one level above than everyone at acceleration, balance and turning

how come he's in the Argentina NT squad while injured???

by neuro11 Fri Aug 23, 2013 7:57 am

is that qualifying round?? whom are Argentina playing against??? whats the date...
the doctor said, with this kind of injury its possible to heal even before Malaga game. Though i am sure we don need him vs Malaga. This is not same malaga as last season , i guess....

by BarrileteCosmico Fri Aug 23, 2013 1:30 pm

The game is not til Sept 10. I think they expect him to recover by then.

And Messi has only played 1 full game in the last 25.

by alexjanosik Sat Aug 24, 2013 2:42 pm

His injuries are a real concern.Maybe its an effect of us rushing him back last season for the PSG game.
Similar to how Iniesta was rushed back for the 2009 CL final.We won the final then but Iniesta was injured the entire next season.
Cruyff had even written an article about it,whether winning the CL was worth Iniesta spending the entire next season injured.
In that case probably yes.Here we didnt win the CL.Just hope Messi doesnt suffer the same fate as Iniesta.

Messi once again training separately from the team.

by FennecFox7 Fri Aug 30, 2013 9:26 pm

I knew this would happen..

rushing hamstring injurys is very very dangerous.. not only can he reinjure it, it can cause issues with other parts of the leg.
he needs more then just a week time out. He needs at least a month or more

by free_cat Fri Aug 30, 2013 9:31 pm

If we rushed messi for the supercup we are f*ucking idiots.

by BarrileteCosmico Fri Aug 30, 2013 9:58 pm

I think it's likelier that Messi rushed himself and Martino 'the boss' is nowhere near as in control of his star as we thought.

Seriously what is Juanjo Brau doing? :facepalm:

by free_cat Fri Aug 30, 2013 10:02 pm

Then Martino is an idiot.

by CBarca Fri Aug 30, 2013 10:38 pm

None of us have any idea what happened so concluding from the events would make all of us idiots.

So were Tito and Pep then. especially Pep. Take it easy with Tata free. not everyone related to the club can be catalan.

by Donuts Fri Aug 30, 2013 10:43 pm

maybe the fact he is training away from the team is because he is taking precaution and not going to play tomorrow, not that he is injured again.

From an outsider's perspective, I really think Juanjo Brau, Messi's physio, is the one to blame here. Tito and Martino will play him based on what their physios tell them, they act on the information they are given. If Brau is the one managing Messi's injuries since April and allowing him to play, or maybe changed something or is not enforcing as strictly in the injury prevention process, then he should be held accountable for them.

Martino: "Messi? We knew he'd be ready, yesterday we just let him do some extra recovery exercises."
