End of the road
I don't really think it would be that much of a statement for us anymore because he is at the end of his career and is a Barca legend. I have always agreed with Pep that he should end his career at Barca he represents a moment in time when they were the envy of the football world they were not only successful but played beautiful football. Along with Xavi and Iniesta, Puyol etc they held such an aura that they seemed unbeatable. For me Messi is Barca and if he did come here it would just be a side note of his career. In the same way that Kun will be forever remembered for what he did for us, Messi will be remembered for his Barca career. For me Messi is the greatest footballer ever but I don't think it's the right move for us now.
The man who broke Messi wanting to leave last year is saying that Messi has not decided to stay yet.
He continues saying: Barcelona is still waiting for the result of the audit it is doing to plan “the next 3 or 4 seasons”. The club knows that the hole is VERY deep and that it is difficult to promise anyone anything at this point
I totally agree I wish this could have happened a few years ago but now it feels too late for me.maybe he wants to taste league football somewhere else and not regret never doing it ?
for me messi stayed far to long at barca and now its maybe to late because i think the club is in a right mess and it can not move forward because its always messi and nothing else
you need that drive of something new and messi been coasting for about 3 or 4 years now. maybe barcelona made him stay knowing the job of a rebuild would see barca drop even lower than 3rd this season. its took the 2nd part of the season to get a champions league place nailed down. the start of the season it looked way off and messi was still being talked about the so called move in the summer he wanted ?
your right if it means haaland or kane would not happen ? the messi deal would over take everything and maybe one or both could slip through the fingers and sign for somebody else. manchester city have changed under pep and now we are looking for value and longevity rather than a statement signing and showing off
messi will stay at barcelona and aguero signing will make his mind up for him. even if aguero plays 30 games next season he's bagging over 30 goals in his sleep
