The state of the current team is due to no planning, awful strategy and transfers. The guy tried his best, just wasn't good enough. One player can only do so much. If you think Ronaldo could have done better with this team, good for you.

We don't know yet if he will go for free.
Without Messi this team would probably have 1/3rd of points this year. At least.

Its terribly average team without Messi and Griezmann in this form.

Messi at the end of the day is not much different to Ronaldo in a way.. There is a clear indication that both messi and penaldo are self-centered.. messi rarely talk about the fans or show connection to them in the same fashion as penaldo. Maybe he underwent a metamorphosis Over the years. They both seem to prioritize their personal legacy/glory and family. I had heard messi countless times talk about his sons and wife when did he speak about his fans and their admiration?!

The excuses that barcelona is a sinking ship is a poor one. Again buffon the best keeper in the world played in second division for a club that is not even his Alma mater. Nedved too, a ballon dor winner.
I am not ready to hear any excuses by messi because it's going to be bullshit no matter how he word it.

IF Messi really speak out within the next few hours, it's almost 100% he is leaving.

Veronica broke the news about this first. If she is right about Messi speaking, she will probably right about him leaving regardless of Barto.

I think its going to be something around 30-40m + HIGH clauses (basically ~100m if they win CL+PL).

Fuck that, it needs to be at least a guaranteed 100m, probably more.
For once we've got an asset worth a lot of money and we should maximise that, especially since its oil clubs that want him.

Buffon and Nedved are not 1/100 of a player Messi is. Just...don't go there. For last 2-3 years all we heard on this forum is how Messi is keeping us afloat and now that he leaves its "Why is he leaving? We are not that bad...He doesn't care about fans, only about his own glory! Why doesn't he score another 150 goals in next 3 years only for us to finish 2nd and out in Quarters of CL? What a brat..."

You guys are spoiled. Messi gave this team 15 years of best football ANYONE has ever played. He is 33, he wants to spend 2-3 last years fighting for CLs and not getting braces and hatricks in barca loses. Its completely understandable what he is doing. He is not doing Neymar.

As for Ronaldo, he also made terrific job for Real. Gave them 8 years of great football for 0$, can't fault him for leaving.

PSG have come in with a last minute offer that Man City cannot make due to Financial Fair Play rules. [tycsports]

Interesting

Should have maximized it year or two ago then. Hard to ask 100+m for 33 year old with 9 months left to his contract. We can sit him on bench to teach him a lesson, or go to court, but both options are terrible.

He is not leaving. Hate brigade on forum said its all power play from Messi to get him to play with his amigos next few years and lose 8-2 next season as well.
