lol

Chill out Bro.

Maybe Totti would if he won with them 3 UCĹs and 10 Scudettos and they tried to diss him.

Sommyroy10:
Doesn't he have 4 UCL?

jpmoriarti:
Nobody is trying to diss Messi. He's the oppressor here trying to claim the victim. He's trying to manipulate his way out of the club, now that the going got tougher. Expoilting all the
weak links in his contract. He's pathetic! He led Barca to our worst show in European football against Bayern and not a single apology to the fans have come from a so called captain and club legend.

tesppidd:
Totti?

When??

tesppidd:
The going got tougher since 2016.

And he's stayed put carrying a bunch of unproductive players.

We have evidence that we have won 3 of the last 5 la liga titles and reached the semi finals of the UCL almost singlehandedly on Messi.

He did not leave when the going got tougher.

He has stayed for 5 years under tough conditions.

And then the club has been sacking coaches and selling younger players including swapping Arthur for Pjanic.
A lot of players 70 percent as legendary as Messi would have run away a long time ago.

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.

DissTroy:

Totti never had ambition. There... That had to be stated. Even if wishes were trains, Totti isn't worthy enough to sit in Messi's coach. Don't compare the two.

Totti's Roma is the Italian equivalent of Everton/Tottenham. What's special about that? Even Mikel Obi has had a more successful career than Totti. Facts don't lie, sentiments be damned.

What has Messi not done for the club? He carried it on his back for years? He's been the poster boy for 13 straight years. He's been an ambassador off and on the pitch.

The Messi era has been the most successful era in Barcelona's history and, thankfully, the reign hasn't ended. Long live the emperor. Yes, sir - it's no longer a kingdom; like the past few days have proven he's the emperor - he held and has the footballing empire by the jocular.

Sommyroy10:
Mikel Obi? I go fight you oh. Totti that won world cup? The second highest goal scorer in Serial A? An Italian Legend. Stop na. There is a reason why Madrid pursed him for 5 years or so.

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.

disstroyy:


World Cup aside, is Mikel Obi not topping Totti? AFCON, Olympics (multiple times), UCL, Premier League, FA Cup, other trophies.

Second highest goalscorer? Happy for him. Yakubu Aiyegbeni is a Nigerian legend too by that definition.

I'd be nice: Totti can't even compare himself with Kanu Nwankwo. Facts only.

Tomorrow, someone out there would call Harry Kane one of the greatest player when we all know he's a fraud.

jpmoriarti:
Nonsense!

If he leaves now, he would be remembered as the coward who ran.

Barcelona has alot of excellent qualities. Beating Liverpool 3 nil is not achieved by a mediocre team but the team lacked alot of mental quality especially when the stake is very high.

This same abject lack of mental strength again underlines Messi's Argentina, where they have been a serial competition final loses, again with the stake being very high and Messi being the captain.

Emotions and sentiments will never allow you guys to see that, while Messi might be a great player, he's almost horrible in other things like leadership. I don't see this current squad lacking in quality. I see them lacking in leadership and mental fortitude

Sommyroy10:
Messi, your reference to Totti was based on Messi, ya?

Sommyroy10:
Well, this shouldn't even be an argument, but on what basis do you want to argue this? Individual honours? Team achievements? Despite the medals for his clubs, is there any you can come out and say he was the key player (I'm not underpaying his role), every single club achievement Totti had, he was the key player, had a short international career. Totti, Italian hall of Famer?

jpmoriarti:

I was actually waiting for this, Victor - someone pointing out how crazy the comparison is. Easy to have ignored the Messi to Totti comparison.

Maybe Mikel versus Totti was me being disrespectful. In truth, it really is somewhat disrespectful. Maybe even stretching it. Maybe; then again, maybe not. But if we'd take off our garb of sentimentality for just one minute, when viewed through any statistical prism, Totti hasn't achieved more than Mikel Obi.
This assertion is based on titles, comparative achievements within individual career span and team achievements, and roles played in the course of these achievements.

Put these stats side by side and the reality would stare you back in the face. But I understand football and sentiments are Siamese twins so it's alright that a statistical fact would seem absurd regardless to section of a fanbase.

FirstbornWds:


All in all.... I'm glad our talisman is staying. Those who have pepperbody against his "leadership" skill on n off the pitch will have to soak themselves up for at least, one more season. Adios Leo

arabmoney14:
Is anyone bothered by the fact that the club is not active in the transfer market?

We don't even have any idea on how much the club has to spend on transfers this window because its clear we are broke. I thought we could raise up to 50million pounds from Suarez,Vidal, rakitic and umtiti, but it turns out they are all leaving for free.

tesppidd:
Were getting Vwanaldum.
I hope I got the spelling right? I don't even want to check.

Sommyroy10:
Transfer market is open till October, I think. We want to offload players first, to create space for incoming transfer(s) (if any) and drastically reduce our wage bills. The best players might have been taken before we start.

arabmoney14:

Lol. D only reason I'm buying into the idea of barca signing wijnaldum is that koeman has coached him, so he knows better what he can impact in the team.
I think its better we sign anyone koeman names..that way, if he fails(I hope he doesn't), we can totally put the blame on him.

DancingSkeleton:
If Messi stays, I won’t look at him the same again

barackodam:



There's no reason on earth I'm buying into Wijnaldum. No reason.

We claim to want to rebuild. We need Messi to stay and coordinate the rebuilding process, yet, we sold a 23yo to buy a 30yo.

As though that is not enough, fans are clamouring for the dead legs to leave, and we are selling 2 30+ midfielders, just to replace them with another 30+ midfielder.

Dem use gramps curse us?

So there's no player in the whole of Europe that can do what Gini does and is much younger?

We want to have a midfield of

Busi - Pjanic - Gini

From Busi - Vidal - Rakitic

Is that what we clamored for? Replacing gramps with another gramps?


Oh, c'mon!
