this is funny and sad at the same time.

Why didn we go for Nastasic instead of him?

we have a prime Messi, and now we have Suarez to go with. With talent that we probably won't see for a very very very long time, we must be winning titles. After Messi retires, we will probably have a good team, and we will go a few years without some silverware. I'd find it a lot easier to digest such things then, than I do now,

Except we don't

Yeah well, okay, maybe not the Messi of 2012, but irrespective, he's 27 - still the darn best player out there, still in the prime phase, not in the 'he's past it' phase, that's what I meant.

Had he scored the tap-in from the Suarez cross we prob would have won the clasico and he missed easy chances against Celta. He has to take responsibility for his performance too

Basically it's his finishing which has been shit. Overall he has not really declined.

Work-rate has obviously declined. But, yes, I feel his finishing is a confidence issue and, as such, should be repairable

We might need a necromancer more than a doctor for that to happen...

Let's put this thread into the other players section till he actually plays for Barca.

Or the retired players section....

Gotta be very mentally tiring with all these injuries.

 

[barcanuck]

Please guys, no more posts until he gets green light. Let's let the thread get buried and when it pops up in the future we will all rejoice in happiness.
