I realize Messi is the 2nd best footballer of all time or whatever but if you're Koeman I mean..
I can see how having an aging squad while the biggest player in your club's history is basically pulling all the strings would undermine your authority a great deal.
I mean you can't really rebuild the squad around a player who is 33 years old, even if he's the 2nd greatest footballer ever, and Barca's squad is a fuckin aged shambles.
Fuck it. Now is the time to rebuild. The Masia products aren't coming through like they used to, partly because of what they have to compete against in the first team.Originally Posted by Luke Emia
Man City must be massive favourites.
Koeman ain't a fucking tard, he'd blow his dad to keep Messi. They've just fucked him off over the brink by telling his bestie Luis to do one.
Inter. #ITK
We know he loves Guardiola and he's godfather to Agueros kid.
The other option is to go to PSG and get paid whatever he wants.
Isn't it time in the Pep Cycle for him to sack it off and go to the next league with a club who have a shitload of cash to spend so he can win for a few years?
Guardiola and Messi to Qatar.
He's the love child of Coquelin and Flamini with an English passport.
He’s going to PSG. Imagine that front three.
Messi, Neymar and chupo moting, and then you’ve got Mbappe off the bench to take advantage of tired defenders.
Bartomeu has resigned apparently.
I would appoint him player-coach and sit back.
That's the 2020-redeeming scenario, Lewis.
The dream scenario is this going full Calciopoli and people being flung off balconies.
I wonder what 'direction' Barca are going into that Messi didnt like. One where he had to take a wage cut? Which makes perfect sense in order to free up the budget for other players.
Down.
Gutting for Barca to lose Messi for free (if that happens), but think of the salary budget he and Suarez would free up.
In other news, James "Hamez" Rodriguez is close to joining Everton.
That's quite a fall from grace.
Messi to Leeds is what needs to happen.
Bielsa bangs on about how much research him and his team do and then the first thing they do is buy a 1 in 4, Spanish targetman in his late 20s for 30 million euros.
Shit has Roberto Soldado written all over it.
I'm not sure how he's going to do anything given his piss-poor spell with Bolton but Bielsa's Leeds should not be prejudged this season so I'll hold fire. I'm more intrigued as to how you've arrived at the conclusion Rodrigo is a target man
Rodrigo isn't a target man.
That's like when Magic posted that Arsenal would be mad to buy Lacazette because he and Giroud were basically the same player.
It's Inter, surely.
Or LAFC
Rodrigo is essentially the Spanish Bamford. Lovely footballer who doesn't score anywhere near enough.
Tucked away in some Messi article on Guardian was news Barca have signed this absolute nobody for £30m:

Bruv
14 goals in 79 games for Braga and Braga B. Granted he's only 20, but that seems a bizarre signing for 30mTucked away in some Messi article on Guardian was news Barca have signed this absolute nobody for £30m:

FM Legend.
He's apparently very highly rated in Portugal.
I'm sure Keeks will be along soon to tell us all how great he is.
Chilwell to Chelsea official.
Wolves have had a £15m bid rejetced for Maintland-Niles and Man Two have had a bid rejected for Monaco defender Benoit Badiashile
Chelsea are playing no games with this cash. Making up for that transfer ban.
James Rodriquez looks like he may play under Ancelotti for a third time at Everton.
Chilwell is a disaster signing.
It's a considerable upgrade on what we have in that position.
Jamal Blackman has gone on loan number 8 to Rotherham
Chilwell is awful
What sort of self-respecting defender has teeth like that?
This.
£45m doesn't seem too bad for Chilwell, considering the absolutely heroic amounts of money City chuck at useless fullbacks. Makes you wonder why they weren't interested in him themselves. Is he not any good?
Delete this now. I've already stated this news.
I read that as Jay Rodriguez.
Who is it the bigger fall from grace from though, if you'd posed the scenario in 2014?
They can just both agree that Everton is a shit place to end up.
Nice wad for Bohemians if Doherty does go to Tottenham.
£15m for Doherty whilst £50m for some inferior English cunt and £20m for Britains Next Top Rapstar.

That is genuine signing of the season territory. Mou

Inb4 he plays 3 games, Mourinho says he's shit, plays Eric Dier as right back for most of the season then moans next summer when Levi won't buy Pereira off Leicester for £70m.
Smalling to Roma almost done
Is he out of contract? Not sure why Wolves are getting rid if not. Unless they’re away to be playing Traore there or something£15m for Doherty whilst £50m for some inferior English cunt and £20m for Britains Next Top Rapstar.
