you mean you want to see him in seria A
.. possible. would be good for him.
I don't think he can be compared to maradona yet, by the abilities, titles etc.. but his comparison to maradona started not only because of his abilities.. but because of many other things.
argentina can't exist without a 'maradona', that's our problem since maradona retired, if you try to play without a no.10, you'll never succeed in argentina, that's what they tried to do in WC2k2... 90% of the teams in the world play without a #10 ( a diego #10), but in argentina it's impossible! that's hard for people to understand.. you must worrk hard to understand that...
and since messi showed up, it's clear for argentinians that he is the ultimate #10, messi is the closest to maradona today. not about abilities but about this #10 problem, he is the closest. messi is taking the #10 to his feet, slowly (maybe not) but he'll gain full control on that. and when he gets full control of the argentina NT (it will happen.. someone said 2010??), then, we can find out if messi is the real thing, then we'll wait that messi brings titles to argentina, after that we can realy compare him to diego.
