Been working in Landan for a couple of days, in the hotel where i was staying there were a couple of West Ham fans.

We got talking after a few beers, they were pretty decent lads to be fair, although typical southerners, you know the type,

if my dog goes "woof", their dog goes "WOOF A FECKIN WOOF".

Anyhoo, we got talking about Hugo Ekitike and him joining them soon,

they reckon they would rather have Messi now as he is, instead of

Ekitike and that he isn't the right fit for them, nobody from abroad at that kind of age

ever makes it in the PL.

I pointed out Isaak but thats another thread.

Am i genuinely missing something here, surely any PL club would go after Ekitike over Messi today?

Yes Messi is an all time great but he's way to old to play in the PL surely?
