What are the chances that what you've listed will happen. Unlikely in my opinion. If he doesn't agree, isn't it better for the club that he leaves for a smaller fee?

Messi has been our best ever player. If he wants to go, I say just let him go, don't obstruct it with a high fee. It'll be best for him and us. The truth is the younger players won't be able to grow with Messi in the team as they'll always see passing the ball to Messi as the easy option. They...

I say we sell if city are interested, but it has to be a realistic fee, taking into account the covid impact, his wages etc. It's clear as day we need to start a new cycle. The old one has finished.

Then there's no point complaining about his walking around because no one is paying 100m when they can get him for free in a year's time.

Do you want Messi to leave? If you do, would you ask someone to pay 100m when he has 1 year left? I can't be bothered going through previous posts. But you and serghei seem to think that Messi has too much influence on the club and is a detriment to the team. If that's the case, why would you...

It's unrealistic asking 100m for a 33 year old with 1 year left on his contract. It's basically telling city to do one. I thought you'd be happy to let him go for free from your previous posts regarding his wages. I'm sure I seen a couple of posts where you have said he's on a 100m wage.

Some posts you want Messi to leave so we can get his wages off the books, then say no top club would want him, then you say to ask for over 100m transfer fee which would mean he stays. What is it that you actually want?

Shambles. Only hope is that the new board are competent, if they aren't we won't be winning anything for a while.

Some news coming out of Uruguay is that Ajax want Suarez.

It's common sense that his distance covered would come down. There are a number of factors that come into this. Messi has been playing elite level football for around 15 years now. The amount of wear and tear that will happen over that time is self explanatory. There are players who are...

True. He does a couple of these every season. City badly missed aguero yesterday. Sterling and Jesus miss too many chances.

Honestly, it's probably best for both parties if he does leave. We can try and build a new team that just won't look for Messi all the time and he can go to a team that isn't in a rebuilding phase.

He obviously isn't as good as he used to be, but is still very good. The problem is, we have a team that can't run which makes the problem of Messi not defending so much worse. He would still be very good in a more athletic team imo. He wouldn't have to drop into midfield if we had better...

The club don't pay Messi insane amounts for nothing. He has a big hand in the amount of money Barca generate. He's a commercial dream, like CR7. Bartomeu and co have used his status to increase revenue. Barca would take a financial hit when Messi leaves and the club he goes to, would get more...

As I said before, if he said something, it would be similar to what he said after the osasuna game and probably similar to what pique said. The whole club is a mess, starting from the top. Big decisions need to be made.

Is there anything to say really? It would be something similar along the lines back when we lost to osasuna at home.

I was going to post the same thing. If you go through some of the best attacking fullbacks in football, they usually started their careers as wingers. Dani alves, Marcelo, Jordi alba, Trent was a RM and now Alphonso. I'm sure there are many more. The best coaches can see if a player will be...

Agree with this. Lewandowski hasn't been the best overall player, but the best goalscorer. You have to take into account that he's playing in a super offensive team that probably creates 20 chances a game. It's not like he is scoring individual goals.

It will be forgotten after a few years as long as we become a force again. The latest result is always the most important one. It's going to be tough to be able to compete for a CL again though. We can practically go through every position and say we need an improvement than the current player...

The veterans will have to leave on free transfers or next to nothing due to their wages. The board has wasted 400m on transfers the last few years, coupled with the financial impact of covid, the rebuild might take longer than 3-4 years. There is also a high chance that, when we do have money to...
