Successful Triplets

I wonder if the Barca trio can get to 120 this year ...

Messi's numbers are unbelievable

Just the 38 in 08/09 disaster

72 goals in a season is just insane...

 

[jexykrodic]

Do they have pub teams in the Spanish League? He'd never get that many here.

 

[hmmmmm1]

72 goals in a season is insane, my memory is is a little hazy of that period however have they must have included friendlies

Nope they were all competitive games. He got 50 in the league and about 14 in the Champions League.

He wouldn't be too far off those numbers if he played in England.

I thought I read somewhere that he'd only scored once on a Premier League ground in 8 or 9 games. Pen against Citeh I think in the CL?

That's different, though. If he played here week in, week out, he'd have a pretty similar record as in Spain, maybe a few goals less. He scored a hat trick against Arsenal too, once. And don't forget, there may be some shit teams in Spain, but there are a lot of truly woeful ones here too.

He wouldn't be playing in the Premier League with the Barcelona team though would he?

I think that would make a difference. A significant one.

Yeah, true. Assuming he'd be put in one of the top teams (Chelsea or City), he'd score about 40 a season. Suarez got over 30 in his last two seasons with us like.
