The ship will sale for middle east.

Well, if the Prem was suggested to be too physical for Haaland, Messi would be messed up to come here.

That’s a big IF. Sure, plenty of people suggested it at the time, but Alfie’s Lad proved them to have been talking out of a dark smelly hole.

Leo would too. He has never relied on physicality, he’s a far more technical player (one reason why he has more longevity also), people talk like we don’t have those kind of players in the Prem or that they don’t do well here, and it’s simply a made-up media fiction.

Fuck me, how much money does he need ?
If he really loved Barcelona he'd sign a contract and return to them for a quid a week to help them out

It’s just absolute nonsense. You only have to look at what he did to english teams in the champions league. Would probably be daft for him to move to England now. He’s obviously nowhere near the player he was, although still amazing on his day

Realistically no player does that no matter how loyal. Supposedly he is willing to take a 75% pay-cut though, but Barça aren’t actually in a position to make any signings until they shift a few players and make progress towards balancing the books.

He didn’t want to leave when he did, but the upper echelons of the club had made up their minds by then. Seems to been a lot of errors coming out of the top office at the Camp Nou in recent years.

La Liga won’t approve any signings, if they tried to press ahead anyway you’d then have Messi wandering around La Masia for top bucks, but unable to take the pitch.

Have they been cleared of bribing referees yet? I haven't followed the latest.

Not as far as I know. The last I heard was Laporta saying the payments made to the head of referees was for "technical consultations" into the rules of the game & how they translated into on-field refereeing decisions...

Sounds dodgy & feasible in equal measures. )(

Jeez, that's tough. Paying them money is one thing, but canning them in salt water is going too far!

Fucking lolled.

David Silva is too small for the Premier League too, you know!
