PSG's project is an utter dumpster fire.

Only this dumbass club could spend billions and end up with the likes of Carles Soler, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz in their midfield.

Messi will leave at the end of this season but when Mbappe leaves it's game over for this trash bin of a club.

:lol: Then he goes around calling others slurs like "Messifags"

Walking L this one :lol:

Nothing 'fag-gy' about what I said.

You know what is? Blaming the entire club City management weather GDP in order to defend 1 guy's disastrous performance.


You know what's even more faggoty? Your Messiboi mates literally talking about his dick a few days back. Not even making this up. :lol: :lol:

He didn't age well. He's just richer and better groomed/styled now. He still looks the same.


Tried putting tattoos and beard to look alpha. The real test of a good looking guy is the clean shaven look.


Messi looks below average to average. Not ugly. Hieght makes him look goofy af though. Terrible physique.


35 is nothing for a male who lives a top top tier lifestyle paying attention to his health everyday. You're not supposed to age terribly by 35.
I am not a fan of tatoos. But that beard made him look mighty. That is when he showed his shirt to the Bernabeu. He is an introvert, but always had a bit of temper in him.

He for sure ain't gonna stay there. I don't know where will he be playing next season but for sure it won't be in Paris.

Get him back for a season.

First, lets turn our emotions off for a minute. If Messi comes back what position should he play? Both Raphinha and Dembele prefer to play on the right side so he can't play there in 4-3-3 formation. If we'll continue to utilize 4-4-2 than our attack will consist of 35y and 36y old guys and we'll defend with only 8 players. Consequently, both Raphinha and Dembele will play out of position. If we'll try 4-2-3-1 than there is no room for both Pedri and Gavi in our starting 11. Additionally, Messi in attack can't create chances or score goals like he did few years ago so even there his contribution will be questionable especially in big games. I honestly see no formation that would suit both our current squad and Messi in the same time.

Second, he is completely uncoachable and Xavi will have no authority over him. This would probably end up badly for Xavi and our entire game concept. For example, yesterday, during the first 10 minutes we pressed like crazy. This wouldn't be possible with Messi in the squad.

Finally, we would throw under the buss everything we have build during the last season. Our entire formation would be tailored for 36y old Messi who lacks motivation and has no self criticism at all. Furthermore, some of our young players would lose playing time in order to give Messi a tribute season so he can reach 2024 Copa America. IMHO, his return, apart from emotional side, makes no sense whatsoever.

It makes sense from a financial stand point.

We are gonna be rich again.

We need it.

Xavi will handle the rest.

With all due respect I don't think that anyone can handle a 36y old Messi. IMHO if he want's to play in Europe for one more season just to be ready for CA2024 that's fine. However, our team and coach should not be sacrificed in the process. Messi in this stage of his career needs 10 workhorses around him to be able to play like he did for Argentina and he for sure won't get that in Barcelona. We simply don't have that type of squad.
