Who would you like us to sign out of interest?

Mbappe but even that is not a guarantee and not possible. Would be just as expensive but is a younger and fresher player. We still have Gabriel Jesus on our books as well.

Messi would do more for us as a team in two years than Mbappe would in the same time. Only difference is we would pay over 200m for Mbappe and when he fucked off to Spain we’d get a sell on.
If I was a club accountant I’d agree but I’m a fan of the game who wants to see the best players in the world doing their thing.Theres a few players who could fill the CF position, nobody could fill the Messi position.

There is no guarantee that Messi can replicate what he had done at Barcelona that he could do at City in his current state.

Messi is as close a guarantee in football as you will ever get - even now. We won’t agree judging from the last hour so it’s time to call it a day.

Atalanta have scored more league goals than Barcelona. Let that sink in. And it's not because Atalanta are full with talented forwards and Barca with rubbish ones.

The usual mental operation that happens in the heads of many posters in this thread is to completely separate Messi from the failings of Barcelona and entirely shift the blame on his team mates and the manager.

Truth is Messi is a passenger for most of the games and brilliant actions are followed from actions of complete disappearance, especially when the team defends and when the chips are down: Roma, Liverpool, Bayern. Barca conceded 15 goals in those 3 games and scored just 2 with Messi playing mostly in his usual walking pace.

People are blinded by individual stats. We don't need Messi to put 8 past Watford, 6 past Villa or even 4 past Liverpool. Our problems are at the other end and they won't get solved by including a passenger in the team.

Individual stats, taken separately from the stats of the team, mask the fact that Messi has gradually become a walking shadow of his brilliant self and fails Barca and Argentina in crunch games again and again. To walk is not to lead by example. Yesterday Barca ran just 98km. That's easily the worst record of any team in any quarter final in the CL over the last decade. And Messi is a big reason for that record.

I appreciate that people say we can afford his wages and associated costs but I simply can't see it on any level
 
But it's ridiculous that people think he's not good enough when he's just come off a season that represents the best season of Aguero's goalsoring and KDB's assisting combined.

Thinking he isn't right for us, at this time, is not the same as thinking he isn't good enough.

Entirely academic, as it is never happening regardless.

He'd do well going to italy, he'd be great, and can continue his contest with Ronaldo.
A good few years of stats and numbers. But i wouldn't want him here. Not at this point.
