Why is one or the other? Raphinha is supposed to have a release clause of 30m I believe, in case Leeds goes down. We could definitely go for both if Haaland's in our plans.
I would Tchouameni but apparently Monaco is charging 80m for him. He could've gone for cheaper last summer but apparently he is even better this season so now Monaco's charging a premium.

But it will though, no doubt about that. Plus the very real fear the young players catch that Messi-dependicia, just when they learned 'how to swim' on their own. It could set them and the club back to right where we started last summer, or even worse, they may never recover after shifting their game to accommodate for Messi on the pitch. Of course in a perfect world he'd come back all humble, play for next to nothing like Alves and be prepared to only start from the bench, playing maybe one 90 minute match per month max., while being an amazing teacher and leader to our young group. But that's just it, that's only in a perfect world. Things rarely work like that. So it's a tough one. But in my opinion because the cons outweigh the pros, it's a no from me.

I just don't see us spending a lot of money on two attacking players tbh, especially with the overall package Haaland would cost. Anyway most signs seem to suggest he'll sign for City.
I wouldn't pay more than 40m for Tchouameni. If he doesn't move this summer they can go all-in for him next summer when he has a year left on his contract, but I feel like some team is surely snapping him up this year.

Yeah, and Xavi may not be able to bench him if he wants to, we'll also be trying to make the team suit an aging Messi andp don't think that's the right direction right now except Messi changes mentally and accepts a role like Iniesta or Xavi in their final season here.

Messi had a meltdown at verrati lmfao
He went from being pandered to at Barca to scoring 2 league goals a season
Dude is going to do everything he can to return
well, im not surprised, he was given everything and more at this club. i think its delusional to suggest he'd add anything here, especially one year older than he is now. he is only getting worse lol, and quickly
i think we have an exciting project with a lot of promising youngsters. we need to ship the old crew not bring back their leader lol
