Don't rule it out. It happens to the best of them and Messi is no exception. It is down to which club will witness that decline.

I was told this week that all city staff have been given a pay freeze this year and notified in recent weeks and the general mood within the club was glad he was not coming. The figures involved were distasteful even by football standards and a lot did not want the circus of us becoming messi fc rather than Manchester City. I for one am relieved he is not coming. Just want a few new faces and save the money for sergios replacement.

The only way Messi's game will drop is if he's pissed off, doesn't want to stay at Barca, has lost his confidence in the club, the owners and the team, hands in a transfer request and then stays but doesn't really settle.Don't rule it out. It happens to the best of them and Messi is no exception. It is down to which club will witness that decline.
I think he'll be fine.

Neither have clauses as we speak.Perhaps you need to revisit the meaning of the word irony then. One has a contract with a transfer clause (700M), the other doesn't have any clause

At least they’ve still got jobs, plenty haven’t.I was told this week that all city staff have been given a pay freeze this year and notified in recent weeks and the general mood within the club was glad he was not coming.

Eventually, everyone slows down and he is no exception but his ability to consistently influence a match remains a cut above anyone in football and I have seen no sign of that decreasing. If anything, a better team would bring him more success in terms of trophies and the collective play
I say this about Suarez, who is clearly on the decline, Leo has no one on the pitch at Barca currently to have link up that is intuitive - no one. It's the first time I have seen that in his career at Barca.
At City, that would not be the case

Nothing to do with his motivation although it is going to be a chalenge for Messi this season. He will phyiscally decline at some point and at 33 years old and the position he plays in it will be sooner rather than later.
