Yeah, there seems to be at least a couple of clubs interested as well. He has been a brilliant servant for us, but I think it's about time we move him on, we don't rely on him as much anymore, and we are in for a bit of a rebuild this summer. Hickey looks like a likely replacement.
I liked him and he played well for us.Hope so
He is nowhere near good enough
I honestly think the Messi to Barça rumours are a deflection. All the signs are Messi will leave PSG this summer, & for romantic reasons Barça are expected to bring him home, but why would they?
They went all out to not extend his contract hence his move to Paris, & they need to fix their club's finances & secure its future.
Messi's their past, plus with the circus that will arrive with him, I fail to see what Barça will gain, or how they'll afford the reputed £40m per season basic he's demanding. \0/
Where Messi's concerned, Barça have been there & got the t-shirt. They had Messi at the peak of his powers & it all but bankrupted them.You're probably right I reckon that it could be but if Messi really wants to stay in Europe he'll want a team to accommodate him, he still has the hunger in him to want to challenge for honours at the highest level if he can get that team to play to his strengths, Barca will fit a team around him even if it hurts them just for the extra commercial appeal of having an ageing Messi, they need money and they'll still see him as a money making machine.
I know his demands are meant to be very high but I think for the right project he'd defo take a sizeable pay cut, one thing for sure is their board will probably try and guilt trip him into accepting a lower offer as if he owes them owt, they'll offer him a deal even if it's one they know he won't accept then try and justify themselves as the good guys, if he rejects or accepts a better financial package elsewhere or even for footballing reasons then the board will say they tried. I think even if it's an half arsed attempt they'll be in for him in the summer, but they also know they need to make money this before they're allowed to offer anything.
Denis Suárez is 29 now. Not sure what made me look that up...
Busy slapping rags.That’s all well and good but what about Karim Rekik?
On the bench for Sevilla against the scum last week, must be 28 or 29 now.That’s all well and good but what about Karim Rekik?
And his younger brother is currently at Wigan on loan from Arsenal. Small world.On the bench for Sevilla against the scum last week, must be 28 or 29 now.
