Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Sir Joe Aguero]

That's a bit of a stretch and honestly insulting to City's quality I have to say. Haaland isn't some magic ingredient that instantly transforms squads to world beaters or wins you trophies just because he is there. How's Dortmund doing this season? Kane is a pretty good player too and Harry Kane Team isn't bad either and yet they don't even get to sniff a trophy *knock on wood*. A balanced and cohesive squad with a winning mentality are far more valuable than adding GOAT or next generation best striker.

But if you have a balanced and cohesive squad AND the next generation best striker...

Attitude has completely changed.

He's staying.

Or he now has a clear path for the rest of his career, is happy, knows where he is going, and now wants to put the effort in for the club he loves until he leaves

Are you basing this on the PSG match? Because he did nothing at the weekend that he hasn't been doing all season.

 

[LongsightM13]

Oh dear, Barca raided by the fuzz now

 

[Cheeky Txiki]

It's extremely funny to see posters suggest he's staying at this shithouse of a club. He's coming to Manchester.

I am basing it on the fact that i just dont think he is coming to City. I could well be wrong!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Bartomeu arrested too! Hahaha

Messi’s revenge, he is going full ‘scorched earth’ on the previous board. Garcia is leaving the best run club in the world for a madhouse. Good luck with that

WTAF?

WTAF?

Barcagate scandal. Alleged that Bartomeu paid a social media company to essentially plant online criticism of past and current legends. Both players and coaches. And that he structured the payment in multiple transactions so it fell below the level that required board approval. So they didn’t know about it.

 

[aguero93:20]

Someone needs to photoshop that stupid dipper Shankly meme to have Bartomeu and Swales up in the clouds.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Barca gate needs its own thread - or rename this to messi / barcagate

Yeah i get that, just amazed at thr fact it is actually happening.

What an embarrassment for the club.

Lets see how it will be reported though. In comparison to say false accusations and alleged leaks and an unlawful sanction.

I'm glad Barcelona are going through a purge and house cleaning, they need to before they can start to rebuild.
But I doubt the magnitude of this will hit the appropriate levels of coverage.

Lers leave this for messi chat, A separate one makes more sense, or even the dedicated Barcelona thread in the general part.

being paid with chocolate coins then.

Messi was clearly sulking at the start of the season, scoring from pens only. Now it feels he's on a mission to win his final La Liga title - a farewell gift to Barca

Garcia trying to ring Pep as we speak ‘I was only joking boss I love it here’
