I doubt many people will get excited about this... we've been here before.

But if we can get him it would be a brilliant signing. Who would turn down a player that can potentially add 40+ goals to the team?

All those missed chances suddenly becoming goals...

Forget about wages and other players becoming upset, that's not our job and Messi would be worth every penny.

As much as I've said I'm not for it... I gotta say if it happens I'd be f#$king giddy.

FFP still exists, I really don't think we could afford him. Especially when we need improvements elsewhere in the team, which won't be cheap.

Shirt sales and publicity will pay his wages.
Juve have made it work with CR.
It would be the ultimate marquee signing and a slap in the face for those who still doubt our standing as a “big” club.
I am sure the guy still has a few years at the top left in him if managed well..
 
How old does everyone think messi can play til? He does rely on pace so surely should have a prolonged career?
 
Will be over the moon if Messi comes, but 1M+ a week in wages and another 100M+ transfer fee means we may not have enough funds for CB and LB.

This Bartomeu reading up on him seems to have ruined your club the way your fans are talking about him , is he that bad?

The combination of him & Rosell, absolutely. And to be fair, a vocal minority of cules (Including myself) have been banging on about this even while Laporta was still President. Rosell was taking shots at the club/board in the lead up to the election and him & Bartomeu proceeded to dismantle everything Laporta did from the moment he was in office. Started with stripping Cruyff of an honorary club title and then insidiously degraded every aspect of La Masia while pushing Pep out and anything associated with the old regime.

I said this many times but you couldn't have managed to destroy the club more efficiently if blancos were put in charge

Ultimately the biggest issue is that they are corporate clowns, they know nothing about sporting matters much less running a football club. They are only focused on Espai Barca and getting their hands into a huge stream of cash that will be coming through. I think the anger needs to be directed at the old/conservative base of socis who allowed this to happen much less continue but it helps to have had Group Godó (Vanguardia, RAC1, MD) & support you through media support & propaganda. Hiring I3 (Barcagate) to attack your critics doesn't hurt either via social media. All the lawsuits, Qatar, dishonorable transfers, the FIFA ban and yet somehow managed to pull of an unimaginable treble in the middle there due to MSN which really flourished for only 1 season in the end

It's been a nightmare, the only solace has been enjoying Messi as much as possible but even that has become untenable considering the utter lack of sports planning

I see Messi's pending exit as very real
