Based on what? Why would he give Messi what he wants if Messi is already gone?

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9635433/la-liga-barcelona-face-uncertain-future Well, this is the best outcome possible, very happy.

I don't think Pep going from manager of Bayern to director at Barca is realistic. I would like to see cruyff back as director of football, and that's probably likely if laporta gets in, which seems to be only a matter of time. For manager I think Frank de Boer is the best option. However...

I agree, but the Zubi sacking, and puyol resigning to prevent him receiving the job speaks volumes of the clubs current state behind closed doors, and really brings it to the attention of the media/fans. Hopefully it will assist in pressurizing for early elections.

Yeah, I dismiss anyone who starts talking about "plan B". To have a plan B you need a plan A, and the team doesn't seem to play in any form of organised/strategical manner at the moment. Hopefully the manager will be sacked within the next few games, the stand in will be even worse and cause the...

Utter bullshit. Ronaldo is older and he has improved every single year, including this year. Football isn't the same as 10 years ago. Better training and dieting means I think players are actually going to start peaking at 30, and be able to play at the same level for longer. But suggesting...

What is the point in that cash? Even if we didn't have a transfer ban, who do we buy good enough to fill a gap left by Messi? Selling Messi would be like selling a loaf of bread for 100 euro, when you're starving to death and no one else is selling food. Edit: Just saw a few posts mentioning...

1. Of course he's a scapegoat. But does that change the fact that he done his job abysmally and needed to go? No. 2. The director of football does a lot more than just transfers you know? He's meant to relieve the pressure off the manager and supposedly heavily involve in the management of say...

Yes, instead of telling us how much the club was losing, he kept it secret in a transfer scandal that resulted in his resignation when it was found out. That's so much better.

Iniesta's decline can only be attributed to the team playing poorly in my opinion. A player of that quality doesn't just lose it all. Him and Xavi aren't players who use pace or physicality, things which you lose as you get older. Both of them have used technical quality to become the best...

Chelsea and Man City cannot afford Messi due to FFP rules. They haven't got the revenue to afford his buyout clause. Unless they also sold half their top players to different clubs, it cannot happen. The only way it could happen is if they made a swap with a few chelsea players plus a sum of...

This is why I think it is a team/coaching problem more than it is a player problem. Paul Scholes is the exact same type of midfielder as Xavi. He came out of retirement at 38 and had 37 appearances that season. He was their best midfielder that season. Giggs also had a fantastic year that...

Read my post.

How is rakitic not good enough? Did you want any of the Croatia games in the World Cup? And I find it hard to take anyone seriously who says Iniesta isn't good enough to start. In 3 years time we shouldn't be starting messi either right? Ok.

I don't think rosell managed to get Ronaldinho through his own merit.

He himself has already hinted at it, and there is no one else who is capable as far as I can see.

Apparently it was already decided. He gave Neymar and Messi extended christmas holiday, but didn't tell them that it meant they wouldn't be starting against Sociedad. I think that is where most of the tension has arisen from.

https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/video/euro-papers-lionel-messi-wants-114051995.html They claim he was fined later in the day. I'm not sure if this is standard procedure for when player's are ill, and it is coming from eurosport so who knows.

Messi has already been fined for missing training yesterday. Besides that I can't see what else he has actually done wrong.
