The ball is very much in Messi's court, where it has always been, and he can control what happens.

Right now at least a couple times a week Barcelona candidates will be coming out with 'we will keep him this way, or we will offer him that, or we will convince him like so'. While there is no need to respond to it, when it gets close to January, he can very easily put a stop to all that, with a simple statement that he has decided it is his last season, he is honouring the contract he was forced to honour, as noted in the summer, out of love for the club etc, but that is it. That then stops him being used as a pissing contest between rival candidates, and opens up publucly to other clubs to start negotiations. Then Barcelona have the call whether to look to get something out of it in january, or not.

It will come down entirely to whether he really does want to leave, or not. As has been the case to date.

There's absolutely no point even trying to engage with someone who writes something as fucking stupid as that.

Anyone who thinks signing Messi is a short term move is being wilfully ignorant at this point, there's only so many times the long term financial benefits of having the greatest football player in history shine a colossal spotlight on your club for 2 or 3 years can be explained.

Also, I think it's absolutely pathetic to claim Pep Guardiola "won't care what damage is done to the Club once gone". Guardiola has come to this club, brought the fans 8 trophies, domestic success that could only be dreamed of, he's gone to bat for the club dozens of times in front of a press pack looking to bring the club down, challenged UEFA, the G-14, the hateful 8.

What the fuck has he ever done for some random on a forum to question how much he cares about the club?

Created "22" false chances because I dont remember Lloris making a save other than the Diaz header but I agree, Messi barely needs half a yard and its in the top corner. He might walk slow and not track back but he knows where the net is. 70/80+ goals is not impossible even on a two year contract.

As long as he can keep up with play when were attacking he'll find the net

Very well said Dom.I swear some people can`t see the fucking wood for the trees ... or maybe their stupidity shines brighter than we imagined. ;)
 
The xG for the Spurs match was 2.3 v 0.9 in City's favour.

Messi would make all the difference at the 2.3 end because he is the only player in the World that consistently beats xG
