We will maybe see if Messi can join Ronaldo and 'do it at more than one club'

I have no doubt whatsoever Messi could 'do it' in any league in the world.

Always thought Messi was overrated.

Not a patch on Ronaldo.

You'd imagine if he leaves, he will join Guardiola at City. It ticks all the boxes -  they are wealthy enough to have him, the Manager understands him, they are vying for major trophies.

If he goes, then surely Citeh pay the money

To answer the question in the title, Messi, and it's not even close.
Citeh look the most likely team but hopefully he goes to a proper club. There will likely be a lot of scrutiny around his contract release clause that Barcelona will have to sort.

Whao - a lot of nonsense on one post.

Why do you say its not even close?

And what do you mean by a proper club?

Jeepers Benny that's some statement, up there with your De Gea nonsense.

My vote goes to Messi but there's not much in it

Messi is limited. Good at what he does do, but he just doesn't excite me the way Ronaldo does. Some of the stuff Ronaldo does is unbelievable: he's very good in the air, great leap, good free taker, some great flicks, backheels, and that overhead kick v Juventus - stunning.

Messi is poor in the air, not a great free taker, and doesn't possess the box of tricks Ronaldo does.

Yes Ronaldo can be petulant, greedy and selfish with the ball, but he's the far superior player in my opinion. Always has been.

Ronaldo is the most overrated free taker ever. Messi far better in that department.

I'll give you the poor in the air bit (Although I'd say that physical issue for the pip sqeak). But he has 2 less direct free kicks than Ronaldo from 200 less games. Don't think that's "not great".
