Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[CenturyClub]

We're a club with a cracking history and have been the dominant force in England for a decade. I don't agree with the 'never forget where we came from' thing at all. We shouldn't bow down to anyone, he should want us now.

This is Lionel Messi we are talking about, the greatest player that has ever played the game.

Honestly Ray, I’ve read your posts over the last week or so when it comes to players and I’ve reached the conclusion that we will never agree. I guess we watch the game differently. C’est la vie.

Certain things yes. But not always. A couple seasons ago maybe Messi was the most attractive signing but not now or for the future.

He was not now. He is now on the wane. I still don't now who will be the next superstar behind him.

On a swansong. Not the peak player we all think about - a fella who walks now. He walks better than any player to have ever played the game..... But the game is now played at 100mph sprint speed.

If it was possible we would do it. I’ve no doubts whatsoever about that. It won’t happen, I’m pretty sure of that, but if a deal could be made we would rightly be all over it.

Hasn't been for a while and not many top level peformances against Barca's rivals. The move will ruin in what we have been trying to build since the takeover. Just for the sake of short term gain.

Agree mate, he would just be a vanity signing.

Getting 2 seasons out of Messi would be a fucking dream. It’s now or never though.

100% agree.

I don't buy into this idea that he is not as good anymore, load of rubbish.

He still scored a shed load of goals this season and produced moments of absolute genius. Messi under Pep with the players we have for 2-3 seasons would be a joy to behold. Might even tempt Pep to stay longer as well!

The ability is still the same, I just feel as though he is growing tired of the club and the people in charge that are constantly making appalling decisions, he doesn't have the same motivation. Bring him to the premier league and get him playing under a manager that would highly motivate him and he would be absolutely unbelievable.

Would even guarantee us the league and possibly a Champions League trophy.

Not now as it would be too risky.

It’s a strange take considering he’s still putting up better numbers than pretty much everyone in Europe.
Oh, and we don’t play at 100mph, far from it.

He is still currently the best player in the world.

As I said, put him in a Pep team and he won't be walking, that's for sure.
