Maybe he should consider moving back to his homeland and play for his local side,messi wasn’t great last night but to be fair neither were the other ten players,but he is starting to slow down which happens to all players unfortunately..
Was coming in to ask this. Would he improve us on the pitch?
He is on the decline and isn't the same Messi.
He is on the decline and isn't the same Messi. Even the rags will think twice about signing him.
Of course he would. He’s better than Kevin De Bruyne and if anyone watches Barca week in and week out then they’d see that.
Imagine putting on the Arsenal semi final and deciding that De Bruyne wasn’t that good based on that game. It’s a similar scenario.
Messi is also better at the age of 33, and by a distance, than David Silva was in his prime.
Messi doesn’t have the legs he once did but he’s still faster than Silva ever was and he’d likely do amazing in a midfield alongside Kev.
Messi....KDB
.....Rodri
It's crazy how people think he wouldn't be a positive on the team. The man just led arguably one of the two best leagues in the world in goals, dribbles, and assists. And that's despite the mess that his team is currently in. He'll walk into our starting line up, inspire the next generation of city youngsters and annoy our PL rivals as a bonus.
But he can't press to the extent that Pep and the Premier League demand any more. It's why he's moved from the wing at Barca to up front. Again, I don't doubt his ability and his numbers, but I think the only position he'd be able to play in our system is the central striker. Even then, he wouldn't be as effective at winning the ball back high up the pitch as Jesus or Aguero.
Every team in the world would drop everything they could to sign him, if they got the chance.
They wouldn't even hesitate.
