Truth must be spoken. The club has deviated from the foundation. They have abandoned their academy (cant remember the name) that discovered Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and co...

I 8-2 say this but What most of u fail to understand is that 8+2= 10 thats the problem...10 i'm nt insulting anyone o what i mean is that there is messi and 10 others.

Will that turn things around? Barca too love old players people who are Mugabe age in the pitch still playing in Barca.

Mr Batimoleu the tax collector pls sack yourself join and for Mr Messi leave Barca go and try your career in another place.

the inevitable will remain the only available choice for barca.
the earlier they face it headlong the better for the future.

Naira landers and their funny analysis. How can Messi be the problem of Barca? Despite his age, he is still racking up huge numbers (goals & assists). If he leaves, who will do that for Barca?

I'm still yet to see them sign a centre attacker. Suarez can't do that job, he can't move his body quick or even effortlessly. Messi, pique, vidal and suarez need to leave. They're too old and preventing barca's forward movement.

This is apt! Messi should be allowed to go 'cause sooner, he'll have to retire/leave and what then becomes of a messi-dependent barca? Barca should allow him go just as madrid allowed cr7 go. It will help them to pick up from that 8-2 embarrasment.

Messi have to go so that ansu fati,Puig,frenkie should carry the club,
The same way dingho,deco left for xavi iniesta to shine.

In my own opinion,messi is the number one factor holding back barcelona.

For crying out loud,this guy is above 30,naturally,the law of diminishing returns is already happening. I believe this team should let go of old legs and rebuild.

Its not even the matter of sacking the coaches or admin staffs,much power is given to lionel messi,i see this ish happening again.

Very foolish club... messi ain't no better than Ronaldinho...Ronaldinho carried a barca that had not won CL in 14 yrs to victory , alongside eto puyol and deco ... but were all sold cos age started to show ...luckily for them, there was a messi , iniesta, xavi , busquet, Pedro , pique that carried the mantle passed to them by those great elders..couple with new experienced buys like dani Alves, villa, zambrotta and Eric abidal to stabilise the team ... Ronaldinho never controlled the board or coach ... barcas problems started when they brought in Ibrahimovic to replace eto as a response to real madrid buying cr7 ... now the top scorer competition was meant to b between ronaldo and Ibrahimovic but messi insisted that he wanted Ibrahimovics position so that he messi cud compete with ronaldo... that was the reason Ibrahimovic left after just one year ... messi has been controlling the team since then and now the chicken has come home to roost .... the moment xavi , iniesta , Dani alves and Neymar left , they became irrelevant in Europe and it was just a matter of time before they wud start to 4k up the league as well.... messi tot he cud do it alone... players that cudnt shine at barca cos of messi ... sanchez, Ibrahimovic, Neymar , dembele, coutinho, greizmann , paco alcacer, mention a few ...these players dint do ultimately well at barca but did exceptionally well b4 they joined or after they left ... when messi don't want u , ud automatically flop at barca

Now because of he wants to control entirely , the club is now in ruins ...no replacements, no youth player ... if Ronaldinho had messis attitude, messi would hv faded away...

Baca should focus on building a team rather than building individuals. Some old players need to step aside and let the younger ones take over. It has being long since I heard of Barcelona fc academy.
Messi has tried but he need to give way. Baca over dependence on messi is one of their undoing.
Re: Barcelona Terminate Eric Abidal's Contract As Backroom Clear-out Continues by adonainana: 6:57pm On Aug 18, 2020
This life no balance ooo

But on a note this Barca team is like the poorest of all since they lose 4-0 to Liverpool last year.

They were meant to be on alert players like jordinalba, pique etc were meant to be moved on automatically

The mental stress of that defeat really got into them and they were never the same again whenever a team closed them down and finishes the game off early on

Messi at 33 is still the best player on the pitch,Suarez is tiring and the little roach from Madrid has not been able to fill in a striker role to help him out

Like they need to buy sancho and not let Man U take him and some very good Italians defenders too

grin grin I am a Barca fan, but I agree with you on this. Shey you know that misery loves company but no hiding place for Barca over the last result.

Hopefully, this will be a catalyst for Barca's resurgence.

As much as the board has its problem but the players too more than have their fair share of problems. Previously Abidal criticized the team for showing little effort when things don’t go their way and Messi replied asking Abidal to mention names. Also Sieten’s assistant had problems with the players too for lack of effort of which Alba almost had a problem with. My point is the board and Abidal don’t play on the pitch and obviously these players know what their jobs are but have failed to do so. Even at that, the way and manner they have failed is utterly embarrassing to say the least. The coach and board isn’t supposed to tell the players to run, mark and close lanes when playing. The players are professionals and should know how to do damage control, and there goes my problem with the leadership of the team.
The blame goes not just on Messi but also on Pique who seems too busy with politics and Madrid. The leaders of the team have failed.
I remember when Madrid goes through a rough patch, Ramos at times call the squad together, organize meetings and even private dinners to discuss how to remedy their season. There was an Classico in which Barca beat Madrid by more than 3 goals and Ramos rallied the team to seal the defense and not concede more goals since the game was lost already to avoid further embarrassment.
Messi as much as the board have blames on their head and Abidal to me is just collateral damage.
