How good is Christian Benitez?
Christian Benitez's British-based agent Barry McIntosh has made the remarkable and bold (or foolish) claim that the Birmingham City target is as good as Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.
The below video tribute shows the Ecuador international in action for club and county; and it's fair to say that the grainy images do show that the 23-year-old is lightning quick with an eye for goal.
However being 'Messi-esque' is some statement, what do you think?

Sorry, very late with this comment but just read the blog and watched the vid. He looks an exciting prospect in whichever South American league he is performing in, but Messi-esqe???? Are you having a Turkish? Let's see him destroy the best in Spain and in Europe on a consistent basis before we even put him in the same paragraph as any Argentinian footballer, let alone the best one since Maradona!
I'm predicting he won't ever be good enough to lick the dog dirt from the legendary Lionel Messi's boots...
