If the board/coach said to the older players 'we are buying a replacement for you' i can't see them sticking around on the bench. Similar to what happened with iniesta, who ironically would probably still be better for us than coutinho. This board or the next board will have to change no matter...

Even if this is true, it's still the boards fault. They should be stronger and do whats best for the club. Truth is they don't really care. It's like when the board at the time when pep first came, got rid of deco and ronaldinho even though they were established 1st team players. That was good...

If you are saying Messi would threaten to leave if the amigos are sold then it is the same as saying we have a crap squad because of Messi. This board has been so bad. They have no plan. They keep getting mid table level managers who fear the sack. With 400m, they could have bought 5 or 6...

Of course Messi will be a massive reason for the board to go after lautaro. They know they need a replacement for Suarez, that is why they are looking at a young striker. It's just a shame that there is a lack of quality young strikers that are available these days. Realistically who else can we...

Lautaro is a CF, if he came, he would play in his BFF Suarez's position. Doesn't make sense if he just wants to play with his amigos. Just because he wants someone to come, it doesn't mean it will happen. He can only give a recommendation. Honestly, we need a brand new team. With the squad we...

There is a reason the team played like that in the second half and it wasn't to suit Messi. Setien came out and said the players are tired as it's only been 72 hours since the last game. You keep on saying Messi wouldn't let his amigos leave like he is the sporting director. Why is he pushing...

That's what I was trying to explain to serghei. Even though Messi has his flaws, If you swap Messi for any other player in the world, we would probably do worse than we are now. You can't say that for any other Barca player apart from Ter stegen. This means the team is the problem

I can see from his posts that he definitely does have something against Messi, even if he doesn't want to admit it. I was just trying to explain to him that there is a reason why he has 20+ goals and assists this season. This team is finished. The Barca players know giving the ball to Messi is...

Abidal has ruined his legacy for me. Has just been a puppet for bartomeu and co

I'm not saying they would give up what they have for Messi, it doesn't make sense to do that for a 33 year old. I'm saying if he was already a part of their squad they would find a way for him to be useful. He has his flaws but his qualities are rare in football. I've heard city and LFC fans...

Messi never was a great presser even under pep. Difference was, we had a solid well oiled team, that was capable of winning without Messi. He was just the icing on the cake. I know he isn't in his prime anymore but he could definitely still do a similar role at city and LFC. There still isn't a...

2 pens for cr7. Wonder how many he has had since the restart. Will end up getting the golden boot at this rate

Swapping sancho for messi won't improve pressing on its own. This team is finished. We need a new squad. Even klopp wouldn't perform a miracle and start playing well with this team. People forget he took 5 years to turn lfc into a winning team

I'm not saying to buy neymar. I'm saying he would do the next best after messi as he is probably the next best individually. This team is finished, Salah and mane wouldn't do much either, they are benefitting from lfc's system. They'd have to create their own goals over here as this team has...

Honestly, sancho is your answer. Doing well at barca is completely different from doing well at dortmund. We have first hand experience in dembele. Neymar would probably be the next best, but we wouldn't be having a better season and he'd probably be injured half the season

Even if you forget about a player posting the same numbers as messi, if you could swap messi with any other player in the world, do you think we would be having a better season than we are currently having with this crappy team?

Messi hasn't been at his best, anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves. But to say he has been average is very harsh. 20+ goals and 20+ assists would be a career season for a lot of world class players. Can you name another player that would get the same numbers as him, playing the same...

Most of the squad are past it, but that doesn't mean setien isn't out of his depth. Somehow, we're playing worse than under valverde

Suarez is done and I agree griezmann won't cut it at CF. Haaland will go to either juve or real imo due to Raiola. Shame there is such a lack of quality strikers these days.

Still not good enough. Suarez is just pathetic now. I honestly think Braithwaite would do better than both of these
