This is perfect, I've been waiting a decade to find the perfect match for my Kaka tattoo

No way. Far too lazy.
An attacker who can't close down and track back is useless in modern football. Especially in the Premier League.

Let me get this straight, you're saying Lionel Messi is useless?

Mentally I think Messi would struggle with us. At Barca he has always been the first name on the teamsheet.

For us especially in the CL he would have to settle for second behind Gundogan and I'm not sure he'd be able to accept that.

He might be more motivated with the new challenge
He will know people will be waiting for him to fail

Messi seems to be a one club man

Sorry, for me its a Rodney Marsh signing.

At closing down and winning the ball back - yes.
And now his sharpness is diminishing, he needs to do ALL the activities of a modern stroker to stay at the top.

 

[Zenmanc]

Knocked out in the quarterfinals by Lyon, but we are too good to sign the world's best player because the world's best player is on the decline.

If the world's best player who is in decline can't help his squad out of the quarters... something he used to be capable of virtually putting on himself to do by himself how will he help this team who hasn't made it past that stage in over 3 years?

 

[Keeper!]

Is he likely to have a big influence during matches? Yes.
Is he likely to have a big influence on team spirit and confidence within the whole club? Yes.
Is he likely to have a big influence on the training pitch? Yes.

If the club can strike a deal financially and it doesn't rock any boats including FFP, then go for it I say. We sure need a boost after last night.

Will he run the dressing room like he does at Barca?

If the answer is yes, stay well clear.

Unbelievable that we are debating getting Messi or not ! The guy is the best footballer even right now in the world.
