Hyperbole. You think he was the biggest culprit for the three years in a row CL humiliation?
We have got far bigger problems elsewhere.
I would sell him purely for the money, if we are talking 80M or something around that

Sell Messi to City for 40M
Ter Stegen to Bayern for 80M
Coutinho to Inter for 40M
Griezman to PSG for 50M
Buy a starting Striker and a Winger that have good chemistry with each other and the club and a starter CB; also get a sub LB and CDM and use our B goalkeeper as a second keeper

On Football Manager perhaps.
None of those will work, Messi will walk for free and Bayern has got Nuebel lined up, why would they spend 80m on Ter Stegen who doesn't get along with Neuer? PSG doesn't need Griezmann either.

Are you intentionally ignoring half of what I say? "there's no one in the squad who is currently top 10 in their position except alba because of terrible LB's in the world".
Clearly I'm stating that there are huge problems throughout the squad.
To answer your question no he's not the biggest reason for the UCL exits. He did absolutely nothing to help though and was just downright bad against Roma, Liverpool and Bayern. He's a goalkeeper that gets the opportunity to play these big important games year after year and year after year he falls short. It's not ridiculous to say in big important games he would rank below the top 40.
Hyperbole again.
if you think you can take him out and our defense and goalkeeping in particular will be magically better then be my guest and petition to the club to sell him.

Not reading again.
Is that what I said though, that our defence and goalkeeping will be magically better? I said it wouldn't be any worse.
I beg to differ. Yes it would get worse, unless if you are telling me that we can realistically get our hands on a better keeper. Who?
Agree to disagree then.
Coutinho can reunite with his old team
PSG can sell Griezman shirt and do a bit of propaganda and serve the French national team
Same for Bayern, they can work on building the next generation German national team with Stegen as the main GK if Nuer is retiring anytime soon. Else Stegen finds another club, maybe Chelsea as they lack a good GK
City, it is basically Pep supporting Barca with some cash plus using the time to develop a system with Messi by the end of this season so that they are ready for next season .. and the sales of Messi jerseys in the first few weeks should cover the cost
We dont need to sign, just use our current sub and maybe get one of the old ones for free or cheap like Diego Lopez and co.I beg to differ. Yes it would get worse, unless if you are telling me that we can realistically get our hands on a better keeper. Who?
Agree to disagree then.
