Lionel Messi - v7

[kattanib]

Ok let?s put Messi on trial.

People with a 10 digit IQ: So Messi you stand accused of being a huge problem in the team and don?t contribute to the club anymore, we think you should leave. Do you have any evidence to show why you should stay?

Messi: Well firstly, your IQ is so high and you?re really cool for having an opinion on me that is negative. I scored 20+ goals last year and assisted 20+ goals too. Even though I missed some games I was the top provider of goals+assists in the world or nearly was.

People with 10 digit IQs: sorry but that?s not good enough for reasons. My ego won?t let me take that into account, leave the club please you absolute leech.

Previous managers and players like Zlatan admitted that they had to build the team around Messi, accommodate for Messi, adjust for Messi. They even said it is understandable and expected because it works.

Today the return on sacrifice is not worth it it seems. Barto the clown just said few minutes ago that Koeman?s new project will be built around Messi and thats why Messi will stay. Is this what we want, another project build around Messi too? How long will this project last? Two years max? Very longterm thinking it seems

Simply said, the narrative should be: Messi, this is what we will be doing moving forward, and this will be your role. Let us know if you are in or out.

Instead of it being: Board, these are my demands or I will leave.

Yeah agreed, do we have proof the situation is he?s being a demanding dictator brat? Remember Neymar wasn?t signed last year but they found 120m for Griezmann

Griezmann was already signed by time Neymar said he wanted to leave.

The only reason the club then pushed for Neymar and kept EV was amigos applying pressure and board too weak to deal with it.

No there isn?t concrete proof at this point. Time will tell what is truly happening in there .. no one really knows

I cannot imagine Barca weren't aware of Neymar's intention of leaving PSG. I don't think they intended to sign him until Messi requested it/told them he wanted to play with him again.

Reports said he had said to the players around March/April time he would like to return by which time Griezmann was signed.

Unless they had signed a contract with him in writing they could have backed out. But knowing them they probably had put it in writing already lol.

Clearly if nothing had been signed they could have but they almost certainly did sign with him there was a lot written on it.

I am not sure how these preliminary agreements work, but that was part of what forced Figo to join Madrid. There was an agreement between his agent and Perez that in case Perez wins election he will sign for Madrid if his clause is paid and gets 2 millions either way Perez wins or loses elections.. however if he doesn?t sign he then will have to pay 30 millions .. or something along that line

How many forwards have really flourished alongside Messi? Players like Coutinho, Zlatan, Griezmann, Dembele, Dybala and Aguero have been lost or not able to find their own role.

Neymar did well but Messi went out of his way to accommodate him and his friendship with Suarez helped him settle but Suarez has been hopeless since Neymar left.

I want to find sources of players talking about Messi personality in the lockerroom .. I cannot seem to find any. Nothing positive or negative, an enigma for such a huge player

Griezmann and dybala play in the same position so that won't work. Zlatan was wrong place at the wrong time, false 9 worked a treat back then. Coutinho is too slow and dembele is just dumb. Aguero partnership is decent, but it's tough when you only play a few weeks together in a year. I know it's flavour of the week to blame Messi, but you can't blame him for other player's shortcomings.
