See that's the problem. Messi CHOOSES to play for Barca, because he knows he couldn't do it in a cold rainy night in stoke, thus being unproven for any other team or league in the world. Do we know if he could fit in the XI of hereford united in the 4th division english league? No we don't. He's simply unproven. And it's not like he's mates at barca won't cover up if he jinxes it (or don't you ever watch the games?).
So why don't they just sell him and buy martial for 20m? No manager is stupid enough to do that. He sells a fuckton of keychains every year which give barca a lot of money they need for important transfers. Who do you think they are? United? They can't afford selling their cover star. So what does United and success remind you of? Ronaldo. Even though United have money, they chose to keep ronaldo because he's good, ok??? Why would they keep him if he's shite and they have money. Ronaldo is simply better. Put Ronaldo in that 2014 Argentina squad and he'd play his natural position of LW or RW and Aguero/Levezzi would play the other wing with Higuain as the CF. Then Enzo Perez/Biglia/Gago, Masherano and Di Maria would play in the middle, With Di Maria playing main creator. It'll basically be like 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017... Real Madrid front 3 all over again. In fact if you put Ronaldo in that 2014 Argentina squad it would be the GREATEST NATIONAL TEAM EVER. Ronaldo would be absolutely UNSTOPPABLE, with runs everywhere, thus meaning Argentina would be absolutely UNSTOPPABLE. They'd win EVERYTHING.
Forget about having stars like Aguero, Guitan, Otamendi, Lavezzi, Cambiasso, Garay, Riquelme, Tevez, Demicheles, D.Milito, G.Milito, Pablo Aimar, Hanan Crespo, Burdisso, Zeneti, Zaba, Rojo, Pastore, Lamela, Banega etc... Put Ronaldo in 2 finals against CHILE and just give him Higuain, Di Maria and Masherano as his supporting cast with some other average players. What? It'll basically be a done deal. He'd win both finals hands down, in fact I'm 150% sure. With that team he'd have most likely won the world cup too. Can't believe people still think Messi is better than Cristiano ronaldo LMAO. Ronaldo is better, why? Cause he has proven himself everywhere. Won at Manchester utd(dominated the league and was the best player in the premier league). Has won Ballon d or at 2 different leagues. Is a more complete player. He's 31 and still competing at the highest level. Has won an international trophy with his national team(messi hasn't). Ronaldo is a leader for his national team. Has won the CL and liga at two different leagues. Bottom line Ronaldo>messi.
