Great post but it won't do any good, nothing will be done, and Lucho the loco will stay till the end of the season unless Barca would face relegation.

Im very disapointed in Messi, he has the greatest talent in the world and could easily be the greatest player to ever walk the earth by far, but perhaps he won't be recognized as clearly the greatest ever by far if all, because his mentality has been going down the drain in the past seasons...

What a inept coach he is, instead of getting a world class manager we get this clown with no real experience and results, just because he is from Barca, this board is ridicilous.

Age is a secondary factor for players declining in soccer so fast, in some other sports the peak is higher than soccer. Soccer is one of the most difficult sports because the amount of matches, frequency, longetivity... the body starts to fall apart after so many matches. Robben didn't really...

Nobody denies that, but he just had a bit more burst before however you look at it.. perhaps its also due to his playstyle, muscles that are not used often are not so well developed, he was very explosive in his early 20s and so on, same as Robben is now or Ronaldo or Ribery for that matter, but...

Cristiano Ronaldo has 120 more matches, thats around 11.000 minutes or 183 hours more playing time. Yet there is no physical decline noticable yet.

The loss of Acceleration and Explosiveness is mind boggling, it should not happen at this age at all, its either the training or the injuries he had.

This is true, maybe its because of his son that his priority changed now, and his insane hunger diminished, its a possibility.

I agree he didn't lose anything else and if so very little, but he certainly isn't as deadly infront of goal as he was 2 years ago, he was insanely deadly then, now he doesn't seem to have that deadly touch anymore, maybe he just needs some time.

Stop with the excuses, its clear as day that Messi of 2012 is gone, will probably never return. He is still an amazing player but he just can't touch that Messi. I just hope he continues at this level for a while and doesn't drop even more in the next seasons.

Even tho im from Maribor im not really a hardcore fan or anything, I do support my city of course but im not a hardcore fan by any means, our team is average but I guess with luck we can manage a 3rd place... more importantly for me is that we get Barca in our group, I will surely visit the...

Well im happy celtic lost because im from Maribor haha, hopefully our team is in fifa and pes.

Is this a joke poll? Hummels struggled with injuries this year but he was still much better than Pique, you guys really need to start looking at things objectively not because someone is a player from our dear Barca.

They knew he was injured before buying him, and they still bought and instead of resting him so he gets 100% they forced him, now his injury was aggrivated again and now they complain? wtf is wrong with these people?

Those are facts, your life changes drastically when you get a baby.

you are blinded by your hope sunyol, alves is gone.. he offers no penetration which we need on the wings since teams park the middle like crazy.. but he isn't good 1 vs 1.. and his crossing is horrible too.

I still can't believe it, we needed a good CB for years now and we bought a 31 year old guy and an always injured bench warmer from arsenal for 40M total.

Surely he can't be worse than Pique? I rly wish we would buy a world class defender tho..
