United wouldn't take him. They've got young players on the rise and signs of progress lately. No point breaking the bank for Messi.

Xavi declined the following season though. And Pep was experimenting a lot with a back 3. Pedro and Sanchez didn't have great seasons and Villa broke his leg. Unfair to pin it all on Fabregas.

Barto should have put all his energy of reacquiring Neymar towards acquiring a good manager. If Valverde can't get a Neymar-Messi-Griezmann front line to the CL final, he's even worse than I thought.

Only Di Marzio reported that and he's been wrong a good amount this summer.

People on here did predict when Neymar went there - They can't wait until Neymar decides to leave PSG and they have to deal with his entourage.

And some wouldn't swap him for Neymar? Do the swap asap.

What kind of logic is this? So if players are punched away from the ball, it's all good then.... Both stonewall penalties.

Not a Barcelona fan, but I like watching Messi play. Valverde is a terrible manager for you guys and deserves to be sacked. However, if the next manager persists with Suarez and Messi, a lot of the same problems will occur. You can't carry 2 players in the team who don't press and don't put a...

Valverde is an embarrassment.

:lol:

Him visiting his dietician again is a good thing(and bad sign). The tax leaks haven't helped. Plus the kidney stone issues and the time off. He could use a rest.

As a neutral fan who's watched lots of Barcelona games the past few years, has Messi's explosion/acceleration declined even a bit more from last season or do you guys think it's simply fatigue/fitness?

Messi back to the top. I thought Ronaldo was better in 2013 than Messi, but Messi has been better than Ronaldo in 2014 so far. He'll win his 5th Ballon D'or if he keeps it up.

I've never seen a player do it like Messi does it so effortlessly. We take it for granted I think. It was an incredible goal.

Greetings. New poster here. I am not a Barcelona fan first(I root for Manchester United), but I enjoy watching them a lot, and find myself rooting for Barca more and more lately. I guess they're my '2nd team' so to say. I've been reading this forum a lot lately, and I enjoy the conversations...
