The president of the Spanish club Getafe Mr Angel Torres has said that his club Getafe were tantalizing close to sign up the Argentinean youngster Lionel Messi, from Barcelona way back in the year 2004/2005 on a loan deal ,talks went very smoothly, and at that time Lionel Messi had just made his debut for mighty Barcelona , at the very tender age of a17, seventeen year old boy.
But why were Getafe so keen to sign up a unknown teenager , the answer is simple that year 2005, Lionel Messi scored one of the very best goals ever seen, Lionel Messi collected the bal in the Barcelona box and ran through the field dribbling past seven Getafe players on the way to score a brilliant solo goal.
But the Dutch Barcelona manager blocked that loan deal.
Getafe also wanted Pep Guardiola as their manager, to replace Michael Ladraup, as well tat was blocked by the Barcelona president Juan LaPorte.
