How many goals will Messi score?

Messi has scored 6 goals in 5 official appearances and could have gotten his second hattrick today already. I honestly didn't think Messi could repeat his performances from two seasons ago, but he is more than on his way as things are going right now. How many do you think he can score this season?

6-9
10-19
20-29
30-39
40+

I'm going to have to kneejerk and say 40+. If he stays injury free I'd be surprised if he doesn't.

Couldn't get much closer to a hat-trick tonight.

Bar, penalty miss and both posts in 1 shot.

40+

He is ridiculously good.

50+.

He's starting to eclipse Ronaldo.

For me.. it was like this:

Ronaldo > Messi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest.

Then:

Messi > Ronaldo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest.

Now it's:

Messi >>> Ronaldo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest.

Messi is amazing, really is fucking amazing, but I would love to see him in the Premier League, not saying he wouldn't do well, would just like to see how well he'd do.

I thought you were being sarcastic until I saw your last sentence.

I think 35 or so. Incredible player who's just getting better and better.

As long as he stays injury free it will be 40+ again.

How long is he out for?

Not clear yet. He will undergo more tests tomorrow to see the extent of the injury. I feel sorry for him though. Hope he comes back soon.

Yeah, they said there's no fracture or something, so it's not as bad as first thought, he'll be okay, it could be worse, I mean look at Antonio Valencia, but yeah, the two best players in the world on the same scoring stats, 7 goals in 6 for Dimitar as well.

No.

Without Messi Barcelona are exactly the same as Arsenal. Inter proved that last year.

Messi is out for three weeks.

Damn, I was gonna answer not as much as Berbatov, but he's already got a mention

It was a lovely goal as well.

He's fucking ridiculous, more than fifty.

He's ridiculous. His midfielders are ridiculous. His defenders are ridiculous, which ensures that him and his midfielders will keep the ball most of the game. I could score 15 on that team. Messi might get to 50.

If you could score 15, then Barca would have bought you instead of Ibra.

I went for 6-9 because he is rubbish at football.
