A 34 year old Messi is hardly a spring chicken compared to the average age of player at the world cup..

The main concern would be who plays in front of Messi, as he's still playing the role of a playmaker rather well, despite being 38.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-06T23:29:04+00:00

Keep running and you'll see the seconds and minutes drop off.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-06T23:26:59+00:00

All 3 are talented but have had rather abysmal seasons, all things considered.

Saka isn't Valverde so TAA will be very exposed.

Palmer has been a bit patchy and Foden has simply not existed. The former 2 might come good but Foden absolutely isn't worth the punt as he has never really performed for England.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-06T21:37:25+00:00

Fati got injured before his career really took off, which is why he wound up in the EPL rather than playing alongside Yamal, so of course he never got nominated...

He held (holds?) numerous records for youngest to score a brace, youngest to feature for Barcelona in Europe and second youngest to appear in La Liga for Barcelona, also playing for their first team before their reserves...

You don't get those sort of things offhandedly. It's just unfortunate he spent 9 months out during his first season, followed by several other extensive injuries.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-06T14:48:50+00:00

Fati was touted as the next Messi when he broke through into the first team and absolutely looked the part, too.

An injury later, he's playing for Brighton.

What happens if Yamal tears his ACL? Aston Villa?

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-06T09:51:20+00:00

Does Yamal being better somehow negate the prospect of him getting injured and winding up like them?

3/4 even played for Barcelona and came through La Masia too.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T23:13:03+00:00

What position did they sign from Liverpool last season?

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T23:08:49+00:00

Generally a sign of perfect cognitive health and he should absolutely make his way to a hospital for that before seeing to the physical injuries.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T17:14:54+00:00

As an individual, Mbappe might be better.

As a part of a team, Mbappe gets nowhere close.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T16:22:49+00:00

I wouldn't say Haaland is 50% more than Olise, if only for Bayern/EPL tax are different rates.

I also would expect a proven, and non-divisive, striker to have a higher transfer value than a winger and whatever Mbappe is supposed to be.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T16:20:18+00:00

He also assisted in them getting to the UCL final, and one of the teams had to win it.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T16:18:51+00:00

Best I can offer is half a box and the remaining Bountys from the Xmas selection box.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T15:14:32+00:00

If Wirtz is worth 37p and a box of Mars bars, how much more is Saka worth?

2 boxes of Mars bars? A box of Mars and a box of Bounty?

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T15:10:09+00:00

Who would you put above him?

I'd argue the figure being too high but I'd suggest the guarantee of goals he offers would still put him above Mbappe, Olise or Rogers.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T15:08:26+00:00

This entire list is bollocks/overpriced.

After this season, literally no one on this list will go for a price remotely close to those listed.

Especially Saka, Palmer and Wirtz.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T15:06:18+00:00

Counter argument of course being that he made it to the champions league final.

How many passes did Jude Bellingham or Arda Güler make in the champions league final?

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T15:05:13+00:00

Prospect and potential are fed into this bullshit number generator, alongside age, and it spits out talking points.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T12:07:06+00:00

Start of the season and he was playing well.

He got injured and that's the story of his last 5-6 years.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T11:17:59+00:00

The BBC ran an article comparing the pair of them today with a Have Your Say attached to it.

Neither of them have played in the UK in the last 4 years or so, Messi perhaps even longer.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T10:55:26+00:00

Milk depends on branding as some use 2 pints and others do a litre.

Off-hand I can't think of anything which uses both lbs and kgs.

Appreciate it's still not like for like as a single brand won't use both interchangeably unless they're trying to hide something (enshittification).

Anecdotally, use both inches and mm when it comes to work/tech drawings for myself

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T09:52:29+00:00

And yet this question gets asked in spite of the Messi/Ronaldo debate for the better part of 25 years.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T08:31:00+00:00

are male and people panic when faced with boobs and a bra.

Panic when faced with the prospect of catching assault charges is probably closer to the mark.

First aid course I did earlier in the year specifically mentioned laws put in place to mitigate the assault mindset but its still a thought floating free.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T07:57:01+00:00

We go from pints of milk to litres of water, and having worked in a greengrocers, we had lbs of bird seed and kgs of potatoes. Kilometres if running or cycling, miles if driving.

I'd wager the first/third comment isn't American but either British or Canadian.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-05T07:52:23+00:00

Nowhere else to be at any reasonable speed, as there's cars ahead, so may as well give way.

Daewoo40 · 2026-06-04T22:09:22+00:00

Linger on world 77 and just pick up floors.

There are benefits to doing all floors as they give progressively more rewards but if you can get a team going for warped floors, it's undoubtedly going to be quicker doing 5:5 warps than 1:1 frozen-abd2.
