Back to Barca ?
That would be funny but they are in financially in the shit,
I mean, Aguero's not the best at pressing and yet he still has by far and away the best goals/minute in the league. I'm sure Messi being a world class goalscorer, dribble, and creator, complete with understanding of a Pep system, could probably do alright.
Aguero works very hard compared to Messi. On average, Sergio covers 10km per game to Messi's 7km. I remember a CL game which Barca lost against Atletico in which Messi ran about 6,5 km which was not much better than the keeper.
With Messi our high pressing game would get seriously worse, strong teams would play through it without much problems.
As NK said above, if Messi comes here for purely footballing reasons, just like another top player and not the absolute centre of the footballing universe, then Pep could find him a role. I doubt this can happen though. Several years ago, yes, now I'd rather watch Foden and Torres grow in top players.

he is the main score r,pass it to messi,you would expect him to have high numbers,i doubt he would get those numbers hereMessi played 32 games in La Liga this season.
25 goals and 22 assists.
Metal stats for a 33 year old, playing in a team in decline and a player who now plays much deeper than in his prime.

When there were all these stories about Rooney being on over £300k a week, what very few realised was that around half that came from commercial deals that United did which he got a cut of. The other half was his actual wages from the club.1,000,000 (£904,700) euros p/w. There is no way we are going to pay that. Especially for a 33 year and regardless of his current stats and standing in the game.
When there was first talk of us getting Messi back in 2013, I believe his actual basic wage was something like €250k a week. So it's not unrealistic to assume it's now maybe €400k a week. We'd cover that in additional sponsorship probably twice over, which would pretty well cover the rest of his earnings.

The thing is what would be his basic wage if you take away all his commercial earnings? Even though half that figure would be more palatable but it still would be pushing it given our current wage bill and structure. And getting him to accept that deal would still be a challenge.
