Ashley Young thinks Lionel Messi is "the best player in the world."
The OS posted a few glowing quotes from our star forward on the day after Barcelona ousted Arsenal (who are, incidentally, Ash's boyhood club) from the Champions League.
A personal favourite: "He plays just off the front man like me and he's a player definitely to look up to. I've been doing that for many a year."
As it turns out, Messi and Ash have a bit of a mutual admiration society going, as Messi tweeted about Young's performance in our season opener against West Ham.
For all Messi and Young have in common, I don't think I'd mind too much if we could swap them for a season. Get on it, Lerner.

I wish this would mean he'd be better at taking setpieces.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.

We even have similar colors!
They’d never even notice. I am all for this idea.

Unfortunately you know that even if it happens
he’ll suddenly forget how to finish once he arrives.
