Imagine If Messi Plays In The Epl....could He Score 91 Goals In One Year? by goddyjay(m): 8:37pm On Dec 30, 2012
I SOMETIMES LOOK AT LEO'S PERFORMANCE AGAINST TEAMS LIKE ESPANYOL,GETAFE,REAL ZARAGOZA E.T.C AND I ASK MYSELF THIS QUESTION, CAN MESSI REALLY SCORE THE WAY IN DOES IN SPANISH LALIGA IN THE EPL? HAT TRICKS OR BRACES AGAINST UNITED,ARSENAL,WESTBROM,EVERTON,STOKE,CHELSEA. FORGET THAT HE DOES THAT IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE (ONCE IN A WHILE) IN MY OWN OPINION I DOUBT IT .....

Are you not a retard for writing this now?

Have you not wondered why Michu ,former Rayo Vallecano who managed just 16 goals last season in Spain ,is joint league top scorer in this EPL already with 14 and he has missed Swansea's last 2 or 3 games and there are more than 15 games yet to be played?

Have you not seen how former La liga players light up this Epl? Epl is a hugely over rated league and it shows by day. See how goals are flowing here and there since this season with Arsenal scoring 7 and conceding 3 the other day. City's game ended 3 -4 and United previous round's ended 4 - 3. Chelsea put 8 past Aston villa and the defensive valiants, Stoke city drew a high 3 - 3 against a struggling Saints .

I dare say Messi will have a field day in this EPL. I can't even imagine how many he 'll score in a complete season there. If Michu can do it, Messi will do it 10 times then

So Mr. Poster , your argument lacks merit in all essence.

Imagine if ronaldo cristiano the guy who conquered the epl in 2008 and maybe one of the best epl players ever, played in la liga, could he score 91 goals in a year?

Berbatov, SantaCruz, Demba Ba, all mediocre in the Bundesliga suddenly became household names in the EPL

EPL is a league for mediocre players

Aguero, Silva and Mata were household names in Spain before they joined the premiership. Apart from Ronaldo, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, they were the most thing to happen to La liga while they played there.
Berbatov was a hit with spurs-an average team. Santa cruz-a hit with Blackburn- a botton 6 team and Ba has done alright.
How about Robben that has turned Bundesliga upside down compared to his premiership years. How about Ballack who was a hit in Germany but could not flourish in the premiership?.

Berbatov was EPL top scorer when playing for Man Utd, Santacruz hit and miss? Why he no hit and miss for Bundesliga where he averaged 5 goals a season for almost 7 yrs

Demba Ba in 2.5 seasons in Bundesliga has 25 goals in 2.5 seasons in EPL has 36 goals.

Epl teams defence is nothing to write home about these days. They are Leaking goals as though you are pouring water in a basket. Stoke city, chelsea and Man city have the best three defence in the league and they have conceded a whooping 54 goals between them already. That is in contrast to the miserly defences of Malaga, Atletico and Barcelona in the La liga who have let in just 39 goals between them in the division. And some one is saying Messi will find it difficult to score in the Epl.

Perhaps the reason behind this abject collapse in the dark arts of defending in the Premier league is the fact that defenders are now afraid to make crunching and last ditch tackles because the epl referees are now handing out red cards as though there lives depend on it. They do this now at a slightest provocation.

messi will not score 40 goals in the english premier league never mind 50.
what do you think this league is? the strength of the league is fairly distributed...unlike in spain where there's a wide gulf between the top 2 and the other 18 clubs. are we talking about the same messi that did nothing against chelsea that could only finish 6th last season?

who said messi would not score goals in the premier league? the question is - would he score 91 goals in england? the number of shyte clubs in la liga clearly outnumber the number of shyte clubs in the premier league. the opposition in spain is shyte and they still want to play to win. the clubs in england that are shyte do not play to win, they play not to concede so there's absolutely no way messi or ronaldo would score the obscene numbers they get in spain here in england.

Lionel Messi scored 14 goals a record in Last years CL which he didnt play any La Liga side.

this is why many people see you as a complete nitwit here.....even after schooling you ruud scored 14 goals you are still hanging on the coat-fails of uefa. now count after me and tell me how many goals ruud scored in 2002/3.....

man utd 5-0 ZTE(ruud - 2 goals)
man utd 5-2 maccabi haifa(ruud - 1 goal)
leverkusen 1-2 man utd(ruud - 2 goals)
man utd 2-0 leverkusen(ruud - 1 goal)

basel 1-3 man utd(ruud - 2 goals)
man utd 2-0 deportivo(ruud - 2 goals)

man utd 2-1 juventus(ruud - 1 goal)
juventus 0-3 man utd(ruud - 1 goal)

madrid 3-1 man utd(ruud - 1 goal)
man utd 4-3 madrid(ruud - 1 goal)


dayokanu, at this rate, you would need to ask wikipedia about the paternity of your son. better still, go get your 3 year-old nephew to come n count the number of goals ruud scored in europe in 2002/3 for you seeing that you have lost your ability to count. how daft can someone be?
Re: Imagine If Messi Plays In The Epl....could He Score 91 Goals In One Year? by dayokanu(m): 2:37am On Jan 02, 2013
The goal scored vs ZTE is not in the UEFA champions league it was scored in the qualifiers and never is it counted together

Only an idiot would count the goals scored in Playoff games

Ask UEFA how manu goals Ruud scored in the Champions league in 2003

you mean the game against ZTE is not a uefa champions league competiton? so which football association organised that game? ogbomosho local government or bayelsa state government? you mean the goals he scored against ZTE were not counted among the 44 goals ruud scored in all competitions in 2002/3? you mean the goals were not counted among the all-time champions league scorer's charts? you are a disgrace to the individual that mentored you in football! every goal counts. ruud made a total of 11 champions league appearances in 2002/3 n scored 14 goals( same as messi).

This has always been my argument for some time now. I feel that should the La Liga and the p-remiership me merged, the top two on the table will definitely be Madrid and Barca while the likes of Sevilla, Valencia will be fighting for third and fourth place with the EPL top 4.

I think if Messi finds himself in Barca with an array of good players like in Barca, he will score even mr=ore goals because players in the EPL act before thinking. In the EPL it's about physical play as opposed to brain work. It's only in the EPL that an average player can be celebrated. Just imagine someone like Ayegbeni going to the EPL. He'll look so mediocre. We can all remember how Michael Owen who was one of the best players in the EPL went to Madrid and wormed the bench almost throughout.

exactly - and the goals scored there also count to a player's stat for that season. ruud scored 14 goals in europe that season(all scored in the champions league). so where would we leave those goals? keep them in your bank account or have them deleted completely from his record? you are a charlatan! olodo!!!!
