Invincibles and Chelsea in mid/late 00's were great as well.

I honestly believe thats the reasoning. Same with us signing Kevin Boateng cause he scored a nice goal vs us with las palmas.

The obsession of these clueless board with this guy. Its so bad its hilarious if it wasnt so sad.

Yeah he became comfortable somehwere after that 2016 season. You can tell because he became fatter. Struggling with the knee also didnt help.

I believed Neymar could been seduced star wars style.even to Madrid. More of a mercenary. With Messi you cant see it happening because of his family. Or he should fly back over there every weekend

If befirehand, you would make a short list of clubs he is most likely to join Psg and inter would be on top due to locations . Messi is in milan several times a year as well and obviously likes the city. It could happen, the buying of the house should raise eyebrowes but not more than that at...

As a sales guy I can vouch for this. Nobody cares how bad things are. They only care about the result. As long as as, down the line, you put down 25/30+ goals you had a great season. Nobody will care down the line how it was accompished.

That was Fifa and Blatter rather than France football magazine but still a valid point.

They could still be sold for a high fee. Wagers are also lower at Madrid.

Also true. Another problem Messi's extrene wages create a snowball effect of us paying high wages to players. So players are more willing to ride out their expensive contracts than leave. Madrid have done this way better than us.

I wasnt that impressed to be honest. Beforehand people expected him to smash fontaine's record. Given the insane talent and hype he didnt live up to it. Zidane's 98 hype was way overrated as well because of the final. His euro's in 2000 or wc 2006 was better.

Reminds me of what Ferguson always said about Wenger towards the end. Its the " if your enemy is digging his grave, dont stop him" kind of tactic. I would not mind Laporta back by the way but he needs tp do a better than last half arsed attempt. Only thing that sucks is we have one more year...

Cant blame him but in some situationd you need someone to bring back some reality and pain rather than comfort and leasuire. Been that way often in history or even in offices nowadays.

I would honestly hire Bielsa for a year and let him run havoc. Get rid of most of the amigo's, get rid of the comfort and that wearing this shirt isnt to be taken for granted. then follow trough with a new board/coach and an ambitious sporting project. In reality, barto will continue making...

A lot of things are wrong. especially him hindering misfielders or be the cause of Argentina's decline. Without Messi Argentina would not qualify for cups and Barca would compete to qualify for EL.

Thats why its weird.Messi clearly isnt happy and is sulking on the pitch. But I wonder who is mad at though? Board for getting rid of Valverde? The ebabler who shoukd have been fired after Rome. - the mediocre teammates? Doesnt look like it snd he prefers them over them leaving? Why be mad if...

I would get Eriksen. In my opinion he suits us despite his inter flop, can be bought cheaply and adds something in attack we miss now. That would be a good transition player while getting rid of the likes of Rakitic and Vidal in midfield.

Ansu, Puig and Suarez as well should be our bench players. Have a Thiago, de Bruyne, Frenkie type midfield and quality fresh attackers. A lot of these senior players are done. Its either accept a wage cut and rotation spot or thanks and good luck somewhere else for them.

You would need a Bielsa/Van Gaal type madman that cleans house, puts in youth and leaves a foundation fkr a future board with ambitions to build on. It certainly cant continue like this if you want to get of the AC Milan road we are currently driving on.

By the time that team is ready he will be 35/36 and walk even more. Messi is the goat to me but he is to blame for this situation as well. He prefers comfort and playing with his friends over the best interest of the club and ruthless ambition. Why else would he otherwise back a spineless...
