It's official.
a better send off than what messi had. dest dressed like a clown again.
Wish him all the best. Seems like cool guy with positive attitude and think him wanting to leave after Messi left were bogus rumors(maybe initial reactionary response from him but no more than that).
What I am curious about is though why no one is looking at Manchester City? Did they know about this? Did they want to get rid of him because of it?
I think they knew and withheld info about his medical health. I think this is a common practice in football where the new team does the medical checkup and any ailments that go under the radar...well...tough luck.
I think it more often happens with players that have really bad knees. It will become current club's best kept secret and media may absolutely never find out cause it could lower market value.
Ajax and Kishna is an example of this me thinks. Kishna's bad knees were well known at the club yet Ajax was able to sell him to Lazio where he signed 4 year contract but only made 16 appearances.
If something similar went on with Aguero pretty disgusting, but this is mostly speculation on my part so far.
I know that you and I don?t see eye to eye on this, but Messi chose $ over loyalty to the club that had given him everything (and vice versa). That?s my opinion, eh! He could have signed a contract extension sooner earning a modest wage (after all of the money he had already earned) instead of going to a filthy oil club that promised him a bloated contract that we couldn?t offer him. As a Barca fan, I?d rather see Real Madrid win the CL again than PSG. Staying here, that would have been the loyal path to take, and I think every Barca fan hoped that he would have retired here and kept on fighting for the club.
Moreover, the decision to let Messi go happened suddenly. Hence why no proper farewell occurred. But, beyond that, the club felt disappointed that he chose the path that he did. Obviously! He?s the GOAT, and a Barca GOAT at that! An analogy: It?s hard to honor an ex girlfriend who chose another dude over you after a 15-20 year long relationship, right? Ha!
The issue with messi is where he chose to go instead of him leaving if anything.
