Lionel Messi - v7

His legacy takes a severe dent if he moved to city even if they have more chances to win anything and a better team.

He's been here since childhood and this won't look good on his CV later on. Lot of talks in this thread about a lot of things but surprised no one mentioned how big of a factor this is. Had he came from Arsenal or some shit at 21 it would have made sense. He'll regret it in the long run like Neymar.

Not to mention the utter stupidity to leave when changes are actually being made instead of a year or two before when he was openly praising EV after the thrashing.

Which showcases that he wants to leave for all the wrong reasons. Either he is a bad person in general or is influenced by one.

Bartomeu's offer to resign will not change Messi's view. The player wants to force the club to negotiate his departure, but Barcelona insists the only way for Messi to exit is to pay his 700 million exit clause. [cat radio]

Busquets has been the biggest reason since 2016 behind us being dinosaurs in Europe. Yet, he won't give up his starter spot selfishly.

Bojan and Dos Santos are Tier D scrubs. :lol:

Back in their days each had a story. Busquets and Valdes are my favorite hidden heros. But players grow old or turn out not to be as good as their potential indicated. Dos Santos I never understood why we didn?t give him a chance as he hand a great preseason

Keep Messi against his will?

Why not?

Bayern did it to lewandowski and they're treble winners and he's now as happy as a snake in a suger cane field

Keep him, take his captaincy, and force him not to play every single game for 90 minutes each... he can leave for free the year after.

This would be the best case scenario. Messi being treat like a human, while we benefit from his genius until he leaves us for free next season. His head is low and he can only rise it through being a professional footballer.

WTF? why can't he just negotiate for messi to go and then step down himself afterwards? Why is he playing this political game where he's trying to look like the martyr of barcelona? If the lad wants to leave, let him leave.

This is just to up the price. If push comes to shove they will let him go for the right price.

Let?s keep him, play old washed up players around him. Not sign anyone good even though we can spend ?100m+ per season, hire average/terrible managers and then blame it all on the players for being friends. Wait a minute...

No offence to everyone who wants him to leave but it will ruin his legacy.

Ronaldo left with 3 champions leagues won in a row.

Messi leaving with 3 champions league humiliations in a row and wants to ditch us the moment we're in the shit?

Nah dawgs I'm with Barto on this. The lil Argentinian Goat ain't going anywhere

Screw his legacy, Barca comes first. We owe him nothing and he owes us nothing. For all he gave us we gave him too, the entire club bended for him for years.
