Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

See Fati is out for 4 months.....maybe Barca are less likely to want Messi to leave in January ?

Why would Luke Shaw affect anything?

Think they'll be getting Depay once the window opens again so they won't panic too much

Konrad will provide depth in the absence of Fati but 4 months is a big blow.

People keep bringing up age and physicality on here but we know that Pep's approach is to emphasize technique over physique. Klopp is somewhat the opposite.

This is the most technically complete footballer alive or dead. He would walk into any team on the planet on merit.

Incredible really. If it’s enforced all the players can leave for free. Imagine what Garcia is thinking. You would have to be out of your mind to go there right now.

Barcelona hope to reach deal to cut player wages by 30 per cent TODAY

Whilst there was a deadline in place for last week, both parties were given an extension until tomorrow to thrash out a deal which would save the club a whopping £170million.

In theory Messi could be ours for nothing by the end of this week! Window not needed if a free agent.

Would you say the same if our rivals were going big for a near 34 year old?
Surely it'd be a stick to beat them with.
Merit is all well and good of you're spending big, but you want 3 or 4 years from that outlay, if not longer.
I didn't think we'd make PR signings this far into our transformation as a club. I can't see it as anything other than that unfortunately, purely just because of his age.

but he's not just a near 34 year old, he's probably still the best player on the planet, sign him up and get de jong whilst we are at it

You can keep the like, however.
