Unless Messi either dominates the finals or gets the top scorer with some great goals then the upcoming world player award will go to Cronaldo which will put him 7:6 up in the head to head and I don't see Messi getting anymore after this season ..
I think it's self preservation.
If he leaves them on the day before the WC starts then Godin will mangle him and if he joins Barca then Ramos will also be trying to nobble him ..
Just jesting ..
Quite a few Liverpool fans round here seem to think we are gonna go in for Mo Salah if the Greizzman deal falls through...
I'd go a step further and offer a huge sum for Salah plus do a part ex deal with us getting Firmino in exchange for Suarez and cash !!! :)
Promoting youngsters into the squad (for he future) is fine if you are starting from a position of strength - we are nowhere near that having a very poor squad compared to all he main clubs in Europe ...
It gets better !!
They're supposedly well on with talks to take Fellaini on a free from ManU.
Looks like the Arsenal fans are gonna get what they deserve for not appreciating Wenger lol
