The fun is over - I see some people want that Messi stays, other people want he leaves. Lets see who is the fucking majority!
Embarrassing thread, should rename it to 'Should you consider supporting a different club'
Yes he should. His salary is too big, and we're not winning La Liga or CL next season, so what's the point? We make top 4 without him as well. He's too old to be part of the next cycle.
Looking at both Madrids we are more likely than not competing for the League with Messi. Unless either of them has a goat transfer window. And honestly, we can rebuild and keep Messi. Its not exclusive. Theres so much to be done without touching him (yet).
I'll give you that. If Real Madrid stay as they are right now, we have a chance. But it's very very likely they will improve the team. They are forced to react big after going trophyless.
They don't even need a goat transfer window. They need a top wing player, to get their injured players recovered and they will win the league. If they sign someone like Mbappe, they are dead on to win the league, since Barca would have no answer to that with the financial situation being what it is.
That's ridiculously defeatist. Not to mention we could have an answer for that - Ansu.
I don't even think Messi's salary will be a problem. Other teams wont offer him 100ME+, so there's a good chance we can extend him for decent conditions.
No, it's realistic.
No, because without Messi we'd be midtable or worse right now. Only reason we're at 3rd and had a decent title challenge is because he decided to step up for 2021, as he usually does. I'll consider the "get rid of Messi cause salary" once we have adequate replacements for his performance levels. Anyone one but him and De Jong in the squad is midtable level at the best.
