Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

I've given up taking anything Balague says about Barca seriously anymore. He just can't seem to hide his hatred of the club as well as he used to and the Perico in him just seeps out of his pen.

Messi is still a fairly strong favourite to be here in September with the bookies

He should go to the MLS or return to Argentina, not Saudi Arabia. What is the point of going to Saudi Arabia anyways? Pocketing a few more millions

Saudi Arabia league makes a zillion times more sense than the usa where football is a non sport. The Saudis are passionate about the sport. Weird comment u made. Unless u of of those caught in the lies of democracy-human rights-communism and what have you.

Well Covid exposed the lie that democracy is. There are no real democracies, only pseudo democracies.

Nah it's just more about branding, going to the biggest sporting market in the world would make sense for him, especially if he could be an owner after, no politics.


But they crazy money he'll get in SA would make up for whatever he'll lose from not going to the American market.

It would be like when Beckham came to MLS, mls games involving becks would actually make the news.

He has 3 choices as to where will he is next move, 2 are purely money/business play, 1 us coming back to the club of his dreams

Give him a testimonial at the new stadium, a statue,a stand named after him but please don't bring him back.
If they do bring him back they will need 2 work horses to make up for his work rate.

I'm pretty sure Gavi is ready to run for 3 players if that depends on his return.

Galtier said that Saturday match will be the last match for Messi at PSG

Will be interesting to see what sort of goodbye he'll get from the fans.

Probably boo him after getting same number of g+a as Mbappe, and running more than him. All whilst being over a decade older and getting paid 1/2 of Mbappe's wages. Not to mention Mbappe's 180m transfer fee.

why this thread isn't in player's section yet?

time has come...

Let's be honest, Messi is never going to turn down the chance of a midnight camel meat asador in the desert.

Better be so. He may still choose to go there in a year or two time from now or he might just feel rich enough with what he accumulated by now.

No, nothing like that. The Saudi league, or any of those leagues known or used to be known for paying hefty money for foreign players past their prime or not good enough for the top leagues strictly for monetary reasons should be shunned. At least with the MLS, some players went there not just for the money (not comparable with the super rich leagues anyways), but for other things like moving to the US and starting or expanding their past-playing careers etc.

First PSG flop Barca will have signed since Lucas Digne, who now plays for Villa. Lets hope history repeats itself.

Heard Dibu Martinez gets real Argentinian meat in Birmingham so the GOAT should feel at home
