Just oceans of idiots everywhere!

True. You might well be one of them.

Both Messi and Ronaldo would still absolutely piss 20+ goals in this league. The standard of defending is shocking. When someone of that quality and proven goalscoring pedigree is available, you don't think twice.

If Messi was still such a great and influential player, Barca wouldn't have lost 3:0 from Roma, 4:0 from Liverpool (without Salah and Firmino) and 8:2 from Bayern. Messi contributed nothing in attack in those games, same in defence. People talk as if Messi single handedly elevated a team like Norwich to 2nd place in La Liga. Truth is they played every fucking game with a man less in defence. People count his goals and assists but never the goals Barca conceded because of having a genius passenger in the team.

If we want to win the CL, we need a better defence, not to score 200 goals against West Ham, Brighton or Everton and boost Messi's stats in his boring competition with Ronaldo.

Hope our bosses are not naive enough to pay 150m for a 33 y.o. player who can out run only the keeper, and not by much.

I think it is time for a lie down pal.

A Leeds ST holder has just told me here in the pub that apparently they want Stones if Brighton won’t sell them Ben White. Not sure they could afford his wages but he’s a Yorkshire lad and he’d be the main man there. He's also locked in a child access battle so maybe staying round here would suit him

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes there, but at the same time he is a south Yorkshire lad like Kyle, not a west Yorkshire lad like Leeds. They fucking hate Barnsley. I'm not saying it would be a deal breaker, I'm just saying just because he is from Yorkshire doesn't mean he would go to any club in Yorkshire. Its fucking massive and every little bit of it hates every other bit.

Leeds do have money (they tried to sign Cavani on a free).

They didn't try to sign Cavani, Radrizzani just likes to talk a big game and is a bit of a joker. He said they were trying to sign Ibra in January. Neither of them remotely fits Leeds wage structure or Bielsa's playstyle.

I believe Radrizzani, who has a background in sports media, simply knows that saying a big name means all the papers will print the story, providing him and the club free publicity whilst also giving him a good chuckle as he knows the stories are ludicrous.

Absolutely mate. But what’s also shocking is that you feel the need to even post something like that!

The way we dominate games we wouldn’t have to rely on one Messi he can just pop up and stick the ball in the top corner.

They still have the cash and the ambition (although Cavani would of been too much for them) to sign Stones

I'll be happy if Messi comes here AND makes us a better team capable of winning everything. Won't happen, imo. Let's see though.

I’m so torn, another reason not to is that Messi and Aguero are crap together for Argentina. I think Kun bows down to Messi so the edge and instinct to do it himself is lost.

Age, price, selfish, limiting younger future worldies, nullifying Sergio, are all big negatives. But still, I bet if you asked Bernie, Foden, Kev, they’d all love a couple of seasons with Messi next to them.

When the transfer window opened, we got off to a flying start with Torres and Aké. Now I’m not sure what’s going on. Not a single transfer connected to us are being leaked to the media. It’s quite impressive how silently we’re working on our targets.
