Those of you who are factoring Messi's age in your decision aren't making any sense. His age hints at potential ("if he's doing all this now...imagine what he'll be doing in three years when he's Robinho's current age")...what he's projected to do in the future has nothing to do with current performance and production.As for the question...still too early to call for me. I think Robinho's role at Madrid is vastly different from Messi's at Barca so Messi has more of a showcase working in his favor. Hard for me not to be biased though...I detest all things Argentinian...and any 'man' who deliberately fists a ball into a net and celebrates like he's just won the lotto.

It is the fact that at three years younger he has the footballing brain and abilities of an older mature player. I recently read where one of the old greats said that if you cut open Fabragas head you will find the footballing brain of a 30 year old. This my friend is what I was drawing reference too.
Ah know dis have to be like a Gerrard and Lamphard ting but ah think we even solve dat case in a post de other day. So ah asking de question so we could put dis one to rest as well.Who better between Messi and Robhino.... ah dont need ah why nor does it matter bout position.And all Argentina haters(me included) must be objective. Ah think ah going with Messi but ah feel by time ah fiish wid de post ah go change meh mind again.wha allyuh think... who we givin de prize. (and dont say freddy Adu)
