TALENT - NOT ACHIEVEMENTS AND LENGTH OF TIME AT THE TOP
Would like opinions on who is better on SHEER football talent. Who was ultimately a better footballer. Lets leave out the silly achievement side such as won titles, scored so many goals. both have won individual awards. both have scored ridiculous amounts of goals in ONE match. the question is simply who was better.
IT ANNOYS me that best is forgotten when it comes to mentioning the greatest players. If pele....(a very arrogant man imo) can admit to another player being better than him..... then you know for a fact hes something special.
WE ALL know about messi and he is simply magestic and probably the most consistent player around.
Best was like messi in many ways. his ball control surpassed everyone elses of that generation, and note that he used the worst possible types of footballs, football boots and muddy pitches. im saying imagine george best in modern day training methods with modern boots, on a modern day top range pitch with a modern day football at his feet.
Who is it for you? Full honesty
George Best or Messi?

How am i in my forties when i was born twenty years before 99? As for the comments about pele and messi you have attributed to be. That's not quite what i wrote is it. Clear tactics of a wum. Manipulating other persons comments to try and make yourself appear knowledgeable. Get back on the liverpool board with your world greats emlyn and keegan.

Metro.....why can't I use lol you blithering idiot!!! And I grew up watching united in the 70s in the paddock, so I did see best towards the end and he was simply unreal and miles better than law numpty! But from reading what other posters have written about you it looks like I've fallen for a demented scouse child!

Messi is on course to be the best player of all time. 60-70 goals and world player of the year every season.
No disrespect to Best but I'd say Messi by far

People are blinded by the amount of goals messi has scored and the awards he wins when the fact is ronaldo isn't fair behind him and consistently scores more goals. As for best i think its impossible to compare the two because of so many factors for and against both parties. Its easier to compare messi with maradonna and for the reasons stated previously maradonna wins hands down. As much as i can't stand him.

Messi is alot better player than Ronaldo come on the guy is a master class to watch and with him being so young for me gives him the chance to become the best player of all time

No. Unless he wins the world cup he has no chance of eclipsing Maradonna.
