joviegghead:
Can someone please explain to me what Wijnaldum is coming to Barça to do!

Are this people mad in?

FirstbornWds:


To pose competition for DeJong and Pjanic.

Koeman is gradually revolutionizing Barcelona to become Dutch playing ground..

joviegghead:


A 30-year old wijnaldum?

Is this a plan for the future?
Whatever happened to our plan of relying on young, vibrant, talented players?

now you can see why messi want to run to save hus career,


This barca board is not only clueless but also delusional

khingTony:
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.

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 season 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.

DissTroy:




...And it happened: The board, club officials, the players and fans alike begged Messi to stay, campaigned visibly online and offline, and even using children who are fans to manipulate him. He's staying from the latest indications.

The Barça universe begged Messi to stay at Barcelona. Even La Liga waded into the matter but never batted an eyelid when Papa Perez chased Penaldo away from MADrid while Ramos insulted the Portuguese model during the exit process and after.

Never before has one single player brought a sport to a standstill. Messi did it. So much for the disgruntled claims of "we need to rediscover another pattern." Messi is the pattern.

tesppidd:
And am 100 percent sure that If Messi sees a good project from Koeman he will stay beyond next summer.

Those who don't want Messi at Barca can now go to another club.

DissTroy:


I think that crazy Bartomeu is just putting up a front for the public. The reports are that Barcelona have upped Messi's weekly way to £1.5 million weekly. They are bribing Messi to stay in broad daylight.

First time in 5 years, there's been a leak of his actual wage from the club. Trying to match the wage Man. City reportedly proposed for him.

tesppidd:
Now that's absurd.

Even if the club offers him that I sincerely hope he rejects it and plays on for the season.

By the end of the season he could evaluate the situation and either accepts pay rise or move on.

DissTroy:

Maybe it's to scare other interests away. Clubs like Juventus would certainly be scared by that weekly wage. The only clubs left who would still stand strong would be Man.City and PSG.

But the proposed Man. City deal involves him playing in the MLS for two years and Messi doesn't want that. He's stated he'd like to play in his childhood club before retiring as a player. The Man. City deal would thwart that.

What's certain is, now that the wage has been made known, most clubs would rein in their fantasies. But Barça would be on aggressive marketing this time to get their money's worth.

Messi is more than any other player. La Liga waded in because Messi leaving would have affected the La Liga's ratings, value and income. It's more than football. There's business involved.

Few days ago, Barcelona modeled their new kit and fans were surprised to see them photoshopping Messi into the pictures. It's almost like they were telling Messi, "Bro, I don't know what your plans are but this divorce would not work. We are married for life."

The marketing would be worth it. I expect a mini-movie like "Messi and Barcelona: Eternal Love Without Boundaries". The marketing would be sick.

jpmoriarti:
Messi is a fool. He should go and sit down. He can stay or he can leave. His attitudes are uncaptain like and shocking for someone who has stayed 20 years at the club. Totti will never treat Roma like this.
