We will. We just removed 150M in wages with Messi. Laporta will bin the useless trio of Dembele Griez and Coutinho over the next 2 years too.

Over the next two years? Halaand is getting signed next year.

So far we have not even been able to register our new signings.

I doubt it.

Neymar-Messi with MSN couldn't pass further than quarters in 3 out of 4 seasons at Barca when they were 5-9 years younger than in the next season's CL.

I wouldn't be surprised if we'll witness "The Messi paradox" when he is one hand improving your team, while on the other hand he is pulling your team down in a CL with his way of playing/movement/mental strength.

Let's see.

They will have hard time defending with those three upfront.

Work rate from Mbappe has to become higher. He is the young one after all.

Barca got destroyed with better top three.

Messi's only weakness is that he's not Maradona in terms of inspiring otherwise average teams. He came really, really close to a miracle in 2019, still.

When Messi has a good team with a clear way of playing, he will rip you apart. More so than any player in history ever. That's why he was SO DOMINANT in the Pep years and 14-15.

I'm confident in my prediction. You can conjure all the paradoxes you want. But Messi supported by prime Mbappe, aging Neymar, prime Verratti, aging Gini, aging Ramos, prime Marquinhos, and prime Dona /aging Navas is enough for the current competition. It wouldn't be enough when Barca/RM/Bayern had super teams in the early to mid 2010s.

You don't get to choose. Always been a fan of PSG. Which has earned me a lot of mockery.

I told you, didn't hated PSG at all before. And if your success would have came in a pure, organic way, than i would have been glad for your club. Remember Lyon? They ere very likable team because i always felt they were so smartly run. Didn't had botomless pit of money, but they were very good and dominated France and were great in Europe. Just buying your way to success doesn't do it for me.

Haaland needs to see something positive to play for us. It depends how our season goes.

He can sign with any top club. He is not going to sign with struggling team unless he is a nutcase

Assuming we are able to sign him, and Mbappe goes Madrid. Halaand joining us and going to head to head with Madrid would restore the Messi Ronaldo feeling.

But Madrid wants them both. Probaly gonna get them both.

Yup, with Neymar and Messi as wingers, Mbappe will need to put in a serious shift defending, if they want a chance.

The only team that is stopping PSG from winning it is City if they sign Kane. That will be arguably a stronger team overall than PSG. PSG does have quite a few older players, so they will have to rest a few of them for the bigger games.

I'm honestly over Messi staying at Barcelona. I was over it last year. I feel we should have let him go then. We just forced him to stay so he can win one shitty cup. Yet again, Bartomeu can get fucked for that.
