Lol.... It's raining hot tears here !!! Lord please let the Argentine sign for Madrid and score a hatrick in the El-clasico ... Papa Perez , do your thing

tesppidd:
On a positive note this would finally give us the opportunity to win a trophy that we have never won before; the Europa league so we can have it in our cabinet.

tesppidd:
Think I agree with the bolded actually.
"Sporting reasons" is rather ambiguous here.

So,
Most clubs are interested for the marketing appeal and the ability.
Most clubs are not interested cuz of the age.

But they have got to weigh the pros and cons and buy.

The thrashiest thrash ever typed by a human.

You want to compare Barca and Sevilla and you leave out the achievements of both teams and start extrapolating to a 3rd team?

Which kain stupidity be this one?

*Sevilla have not finished ahead of Barca the last 10 seasons and you say they are better because of Roma?
*Sevilla has a far inferior head to head and you say they are better because of Roma.?
*Sevilla have not made the UCL semi final in ages and you say they are better because of Roma?
*Barca have won 8 league titles recently and Sevilla none but they are better because of Roma? And then there are people liking the post?

Is your brain filled with sawdust or what?

All

Messi is a good player but over the years, we've been beaten by teams that does not have Messi on their side, why? It's because they work as a team and do not rely on one person to do the job, Messi leaving now is a very sad event, but I think it's time to rediscover another pattern of football.

SperoQuest:
Some of the barca fans in this thread are very deluded. LET me explain. See them saying we have fati, we have dembele. "lmao" like what tha fork!!! So you all think Fati and dembele and Griezman will win the champions league or the spanish league next season or take us to the top? lmao!! what Stupidity. was Fati better than Bojan? was Fati better than Affelay or Telo or Cuenca? lol but where are these guys now? The earlier you start preparing for 5 to 10 years without a single Trophy, the better for you all.

TalabiAudu:

All these stuppidd guys saying Barcelona will be like sevilla and Real Sociedad when Messi leaves should not be tagged a football fan at the first place, the Truth is, even with messi, Barcelona was not as good as sevilla.


Sevilla cannot bottle a 4-1 lead against Roma, Sevilla cannot bottle a 3-0 lead against Liverpool, Sevilla cannot be beaten 8-2 by Bayern Munich, Sevilla cannot lose 1-2 to Osasuna when they are fighting for the league title.


Barcelona has been declining for years now even with Messi, but why we finished second in the league was because we dominated the likes of Eibar and Alaves.

In last year's UCL, Jordi Alba in the first half had a very good opportunity to score, which could have put the tie to rest, but what did he do? He passed to Messi. In that match Messi was not the best player, In the match against Bayern, he wasn't the best player, In the match against Roma, he wasn't the best player.

Messi is a good player but over the years, we've been beaten by teams that does not have Messi on their side, why? It's because they work as a team and do not rely on one person to do the job, Messi leaving now is a very sad event, but I think it's time to rediscover another pattern of football.

DissTroy:


Jon Snow! Messi is the only reason Barcelona still has a "pattern of football". Barça's signature football style has been tiki taka.
All of Barcelona's era of dominance have been heralded by the tiki taka style of football - the early 90's, the late 90's, the mid-2000's, Pep Guardiola era. All of those nostalgic periods of dominance were so because of tiki taka and fit-for-style players.
Messi is the one true Barca player left who still embodies the tiki taka philosophy.

Any other pattern of football isn't Barcelona. There's nothing to discover - it's like a whale trying to see if would thrive in the Sahara Desert.

The Luis Enrique era murdered tiki taka and the only reason Barcelona has been dominating Spain and winning medals in the last 3 years is simply due to Messi - topping scoring, assists, passing and dribbling charts all by himself. Winning games all by himself.

Stats don't freaking lie! You want to become ike Real Madrid fans who have cruel selective amnesia? Tell one single player who has consistently and singlehandedly decided the fate of his team like Messi in the last decade? Mention just one with statistics and I'd come with mine to counter you.

Who has been there for him? Who has held it together when he was injured? Has he not forced himself to play even without fully recovering seasons after season? Has he not come back to top all charts?
Messi is the reason Barcelona hasn't spiralled down to the level of AC Milan in the last 3 years.
Yes, fans and players would beg him; and, mark my words, there'd soon be a crowd on the streets of Barcelona begging Messi to stay. It's never happened but it will happen. That's how reliant on him Barcelona has been.

See this kain kindergarten analysis.

In this year's UCL Henderson had a chance to score against Athletico but passed to Salah who missed.

Kroos had a chance to score agaisnt against Lyon but passed to Benzema who missed.

It happens in all teams, all the time.

What stench are you vomiting?

Lewy has been scoring for Bayern, if Muller Disn t score agasibt Barca and Coman didn't score against PSG, can you say 100 percent Bayern would have won the UCL?

I last year's UCL if not for Messi do you think Barca would have crossed the second round?

Was someone else like Suarez or Dembele not supposed to play their own part and score 1 goal against Liverpool? Only 1 goal?

What kind of kai kai analysis be all this one sef?

LordAdamX:


Age doesn't matter.

If a Ronaldo or Messi is on the market, you buy no questions asked. Then ask your coach to fit either in. If he can't, he gets the boot. The next one can't, he gets the boot. Any player who can't, gets the boot as well. In fact, if your Sporting Director disagrees, he gets the boot as well.

It's when you don't have the money or have a strict transfer policy (looking at you Bayern), that the age excuse crops up.

PSG had contact with Ronaldo earlier this year, he's 35 turning 36. And if they're getting Messi, they'd get Ron next year.

Of course, in the press, they'd say it's for the UCL, but everybody in the club management will cash out. It's marketing / star power. No cons, only pros.

Wia is usbcable sef?

-Lord

haymekus:
When Ronaldo/Hazard left their team, every one of their fans hoped for a better future, irrespective of the fact that players made to replace them weren’t up to their respective level/didn’t have as much impact as them


But you see some stupidd morons apparently wishing for barce to fail, and these clowns are not even Madrid fans ooo, these fools claim to been Barce fans.


Ohh mehn.

tesppidd:
Man City
PSG
Inter
Chelsea
Man U

Have all indicated interests.

Remains Juve, Bayern and Madrid.

Once it is confirmed all of the 8 teams above will indicate interest.

We are going to have a scenario where PSG, Man City, Inter, Chelsea, Man U, Bayern, Juve and Madrid would want to sign Messi.

It's coming.

TalabiAudu:
Let it be known that Eibarman is the worst Goat in history.

You can't sign off with a UCL, league or Cup win, okay sign off with a routine win game, no but you went with a shambolic performance being the worst player on the picth in an 8-2 annihilation.

You signed off handling a transfer request, dragging your club to court to enable them record loss, making the club president to resign and letting the fans run mad in the streets of Camp Nou and disjointed on social media platform.

Only one Argentine Snodgrass could do that

tesppidd:
Age doesn't matter you say!

So what you really mean by sporting reasons is that bar age, Messi is not good enough to play for Bayern or Madrid or PSG or Juve or any of these teams?

Is that what you're really telling me?

fourfourfour:
because Messi thinks he is a god and his delusional fans have made it so

fourfourfour:
[s]Please remove Bayern from that list, we are talking about real clubs not broke ass thieves. Let's wait for Messi to be free before mentioning Bayern.

Juve won't sign him, they have Ronaldo, enough marketing and publicity, except they sell him to PSG and buy Messi.

Messi joins Madrid and destroys his Barca legacy. Won't happen but Perez can be Perez.

United, hmm It would be better for Messi to stay in barca than join a far worse clueless board than that which is at Barca. Woodward will likely want fans to think this is the signing they have been waiting for but too clueless to be able to actualize it.

That leaves PSG, Chelsea and Inter, you left City out. There's little connection between inter signing Messi and Messi actually going there.

PSG is the only possible destination for Messi. His friend is there, they can pay him tens of millions per year. PSG would like to make a statement after losing UCL. Ligue 1 is far easier than EPL, Messi has shown he doesn't like stress.[/s]

DissTroy:

No, Messi isn't a god - he's THE god. ...of football.

You ungrateful thing! The universe and fate scheduled and placed your fleeting existential mortality at a time to witness a supernatural being humble himself to adorn a jersey and jug football with you humans to show you a glimpse of perfection without the impedance of your flawed humanity and all you do is slander him?
You are unworthy! Ungrateful unworthy mortal!

haymekus:
Looks like Messi is heading to mancity

tesppidd:
There are only 2 stressful leagues; the EPL and La Liga.

Others
Bundesliga
French liga
Serie A

Are famers' leagues without stress, where one team is so much bigger than the other 19.
