Well it's supposed to mean that he ain't Messi! Cuz sometime that's what people here make him look like. And don't say he plays the same spot as Messi for the NT, Messi plays as a winger or forward while Pastore would play AMC..
Don't get me wrong! I'd love to have him in our team, and I Really hope he comes here, BUT IMO there are other option out there who would be better for our team and our way of playing..
Whats with this oversensitivity? Who has hyped to be like Messi? Its like one cant point out a quality player is quality without getting hate. There's few quality young star level kinda talent in Serie A, Pastore, Jovetic, Sanchez, Pato and Cavani not a wide selection. And its allways the one who has the breakthrough the latest who gets the most of the praise. Seriously, the very word overrated is overrated.
And Messi played AM in WC, central, in the hole, dropping back alot like a typical trequartista, not his usual forward role, but playing behind two forwards. Pastore been forced to the wing, or play bit of a Xavi role in a 3 man midfield, because Messi plays Pastore's usual role of trequartista.
And oh, I would choose any of them over Vucinic, he annoys me with his inconsistency.
