So happy for him, can't wait to see him lift another deserved CL trophy.

Honestly, they should be. Kane fits what Pep needs perfectly, and that saga has already mostly unfolded. It would be pretty messed up if ManCity just completely bailed on Kane after the holdout and all of the other drama. They committed to this long before Messi was available.

This news is like 4 hours old and you've already done the mental gymnastics necessary to be mad at Pep? LOL dude take a pill, you need help

Where is this crazy talk coming from? Messi was never an option, of course Pep went for Kane. Until today we all assumed the deal was done and that Messi was staying, including Messi.

Imagine thinking, while watching how Barca has so spectacularly imploded and dumpster-fired the legacy of the greatest generation of homegrown talent the world has ever seen, that you can blame the player for trying to win a CL in his last few years.

Is there a clause in the contract that would allow for renegotiation based on Messi leaving? If not, then the deal is signed. That's it.

That's the point that I'm making though, it isn't just on Bartomeu. If this situation went down the way it appears it did, Laporta did the same shit. Just strung him along. He's the FUCKING GOAT! Messi may not be bigger than the club, but the way the club treated him is absolutely...

Still trotting out Alba, Roberto, and Busi? LOL

You're out of your mind. This has nothing to do with whether Messi is leaving or not, actually read the comments. This has to do with the journey of how we got to this point and why this is even a topic of discussion. Never in a million years should it have gotten this bad. Leo is the GOAT...

Legit if Laporta was just stringing him along like Barto did, I'm done. If two presidents in a row misled and mistreated the greatest player in club history, how can I in good conscience support that leadership?

I've been a lurker here for a long time and I almost never post, but I don't know where else to turn. I'm so gutted by how this situation played out that I can't even form the words. It doesn't matter if Messi leaves or stays, the way this club has mismanaged its finances are going to be an...

Couldn't possibly agree with that statement more. Let's not forget Aleix Vidal, Turan, Douglas, etc. What happened to us being the team that promotes its youth?

Hamstring IIRC

I personally feel like Semedo would have a better matchup against Mane but regardless I'm going to support the team and the manager, let's close this out and make the finals!

Yeah it's gotta be Mane on the left and Shaqiri on the right. That would be their natural spots.

He's not going anywhere, even if we lose.

Do you think FDJ makes his way into the preferred 3 already next season?

Yep, that sounds about right. I agree it's unlikely, thanks for your input. Guess we just have to wait and see if that's the lineup. I could totally see him starting Coutinho and not Semedo again, unfortunately.

Do you think there's any chance he starts both Coutinho on the left and Roberto on the right of the midfield, and maybe a Busi-Raki or Busi-Vidal pair in the middle?

Without Salah and Firmino, to me the most important lineup change I want to see is Semedo starting to counter Mane. I feel like shutting him down should be our #1 priority, and it's clear Semedo is more equipped to do so than Sergi. If we move Roberto up on the right and play a defensive...
