Village Idiot Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Compared to lack of medical attention yeah. What I mean is that Messi had a medical condition, and he was treated for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelphish Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Don't give a shit if this is a Giggs tbh. The ex-Aston Villa star was discussing Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Arsenal on his Call Collymore talkSPORT show last night when a fan claiming to be called Zane, from Putney, made the wisecrack. Speaking about Frank Lampard’s penalty strike, he said: “He hit that like you hit Ulrika, I just couldn’t believe it.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thing is, there is absolutely no question that Messi taking hormones will have significantly improved his footballing ability. He probably gained, what, a few inches? His small size is one of his greatest assets. Now, if he were 5'3" or something, would that have tremendously affected his ability? That really is almost too small to play the game, regardless of his incredible technical ability. I think his hormone treatments certainly had an impact on his footballing ability. Hard to say what kind of player he'd be without the treatments though. I thought taking growth hormone or I think TGH its called, was banned in most professional sports. I'm not havin a go Messi is awesome but if most people had taken it, they'd face a ban. I know its for medical reasons but would he be the player he is now without it. What would have happened to Shola had he taken it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would have happened to Shola had he taken it? Shola didn't suffer from an hormone deficiency disease. You're making it sound like he took them because he wanted to be taller; no, he was unhealthy and he needed them to develop properly as you or me. Plus I don't think what Shola needs is more size...

I didn't mean it that way, we are blessed to see a player of such talent doesn't mean growth hormone is not a banned substance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 No, it's not banned. It's banned unless you have a medical reason. He stopped taking it before he became a pro anyway. Cheaters use it as adults to gain muscle mass, not height. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It was conversed in the daft questions thread a few days ago about an all-foreign XI. But if by some miracle these 4 mooted signings go through, I can't believe how close we are to being able to field an none-too-shabby all-French XI.

Taylor aside (and even that'll be a maybe) chances are we'll have a 100% foreign strongest starting XI for the first time next season I reckon.
