Lionel Messi - v7

[Luftstalag14]

The BPL bosses, Sky Sports, BT Sports, BBC and Amazon are all having a collective wank fest right now

While La Liga went from "The league of stars" to a fat injured Hazard and one impotent Griezmann :lol:

So? Do you expect Messi to be here forever?

It has to start somewhere with the next generation of players. Nobody will eclipse Messi probably but the world does not revolve around a couple of uber stars. We will live.

You are wrong, majority here said that any manager will improve Barca. Then Setien the master tactician will bring beautiful football back

Don't mistake a majority for the same group of people regurgitating the belief that Setien was the second coming of Cruyff based off one comment. Most rational people realised he was a man whos biggest job was Betis.

Exactly same are also thinking the team will do better without Messi.

EV was shit but saying anyone will do better is brain damage proof

Setien is a cow herder not a manager

 

[Neymessi]

Utter BS to think we should let him go for free. We don't run on water. He has a contract and the club has bent over whims since ages. Leaving is your choice mister but you have a contract and you'll stay the fuck here if we don't get decent money for this. Period.

 

[khaled_a_d]

You mean lower? I'm fine with that. Just some money to find us a good and young replacement.

IIRC there is a FIFA rule that players who are older than 28 can buy their contract by paying their remaining salary. I've seen it used once but it wasn't a high profile player.
If this is the rule Jam referring too, City needs to pay his remaining 10 months and he will leave. That is around 60M

 

[Luftstalag14]

yeah let us farm Spanish cup again for decades

What do you expect us to do? Develop a magical potion so he is young again? Clone another Messi to sustain his era? Cry and absolve the club because Messi is gone?

Messi fanboys can leave with him, really.

Key word. Manager. Not Farmer.

Tbf aside from the joke of Barca competing for the CL...City will probably need a rebuild sooner or later and having Messi on payroll wont help with that.

Their defence looks shambles and they also have an aging midfield. Not sure if Pep will stay for 3 more years either.

You are underestimate oil money and their legal team.

Yeah, Messi would have only been here for 1-2 years more anyway.

La Liga was always going to fall off a cliff after Messi/Ronaldo.

Best thing we can do is adopt a Bayern model and build a team with smart signings that are under the radar. Galactico policies would be suicide post-Messi.

Suicidal even with Messi look what it's led to...

Watch Pep bench Messi for not pressing and City bring in Valverde to please Messi

 

[ItachiXXX]

According to this dude (and auto translate) : https://twitter.com/FApor_elmundo/

Barto knew about Messi decision before what happened with Bayern and never talked to him only sent Koeman afterward didn't help.

But but but, forum de amigos said its because Koeman want him to run 😂 I hope the Valverde haters enjoying this and having a celebration next season. No Valverde, no De Amigos and no more walking Messi. Atleast you still have a future with Semedo and Dembele the future World Class players

 

[frostdude1]

From all the times that Barto hid and manages to escape his crap, this one is on a different level. This one is TOO obvious. I cannot believe he can survive this. I cannot believe we can let him survive this. The move to remove him should be all the focus at the moment. This is absolutely ridiculous. This MFer has perfected the art of dodging his downfall. We must get him this time!!

Now we can continue with Espai Barca and build a stadium for 110.000 spectators so it can be half empty for years to come.
