And that is why you don't post very often.
Move along, nothing to see here.

Sorry my post count doesn’t qualify me to have a voice, Benito.

Lionel fucking messi

 

[Keeper!]

He is past it, and it is a potentially toxic signing. If City sign him it is desperation beyond belief.

 

[Keeper!]

50/50 but if Barca hold him for a season, City will get messi on a free and Barca will end up in bigger trouble than they are now.

50/50? more like 0/100.

If he wants to leave, he is gone. Barca are not going to keep a 33 yr old Messi on the side lines and have to pay him 1m a week and miss out of a potential 50m transfer/compensation.

 

[Keeper!]

Barça are playing games, they know they are on thin ice with his contract. The season was extended and he therefore couldn’t let them know that he wanted a move In June as they still had 13 games to complete in the league and were still in the Champions League. Barça are coming over as extremely desperate. It is not a good look for them.

Barca are not desperate, Josep Maria Bartomeu is the desperate one, his head is going to roll for this and the rest of the incompetence during his reign.

Real did it with Bale. But I agree, it's a game of chicken that Barca can't win. We'll just figure out if everyone can call Bartolomeu's bluff.

The opposite scenario , Bale wants to stay, Real want him out, big difference!

Tell you what makes me laugh... just popped on to have a look on RAWK to see what the Dippers have been saying about this saga and about 80-85% of them have been making every excuse in the book to try and convince themselves he is past it, it would be a bad signing, he is lazy and doesn't press etc.

It is just very, very strange behaviour. If they were linked with Messi, they would be absolutely w*****g themselves silly and probably harping on about how they would win the treble, lets tell the facts here.

I think when fans have to constantly justify that a particular player will be a bad signing or won't make a big impact, I think it shows that these specific people are very worried. It is the paranoia, the insecurity kicking in.

I don't know why people aren't just honest about these things. Just hold your hands up and say what you really think deep down, cut the bullshit.

You've only gotta read the Thiago thread on this very forum to see it's not just the dippers who do this.

Good point. I'd imagine they still believe they can still change Messi's mind. I'd say it's too late now but 'Messi to City' happening is just as strange.

why can everyone in this thread read spanish but me?

I can’t speak for everyone else...

But for me, do you want the long answer or the short answer?

I’ll need to create some charts and videos for the long answer. Hopefully my mum still has the family photo albums for primary source materials.
