Pique is the best of the amigos. He is the only one I would keep from the lot (get rid of everyone else including Alba and Busquets). When paired with a decent CB he can be very good. He's actually quite solid with Lenglet. Imagine bringing in someone like Laporte to pair him with.

Agreed, neutral fans/fans of other teams would surely be more inclined to think Messi is better. I personally think Messi lost massive opportunities in Copa America 2015 and 2016. Two shots at international glory where Argentina were clearly better than other teams. I think those losses haunt...

Didn't you just get back from your temporary ban? DailyMail is as credible as ********* (can't even type that football website since this site has banned it)

Type messi + dictator on google or hell, just type messi on google and browse articles from the past two weeks. Many are speculations yes, but look at the team selections we've had the past three matches. His best friend rarely comes off even when he plays like dogshit, Griezmann wide open on...

At this point, if you don't think Messi influences/controls at least some aspects in the sporting decisions (squad selection, coaches, transfers, or anything else similar) then you are a fool.

Rakitic is better than Rabiot

On point.

Too young

I think he will be the next long term captain of this club once Messi and the rest of the amigos depart. I think he has a commanding presence and still a very bright future. Still young since goalkeepers can play well into their 30’s.

I recall reading a few articles that Lucho rated Gomes very high, so I’m sure it was his signing or him just playing politics which I doubt. That season was a disaster only because of Gomes and Arda who should’ve never played for Barca. Any other midfield signings and we would still be a huge...

I honestly will never forget him trying to force Arda and Gomes into the lineup. They were both trash

I actually think PSG would be a great location for Messi. They could walk the league and he’ll be reunited with his his second best pal. If he wins them their first CL he will definitely cement his legacy too. No way city would be good for him. At this stage of his career I’m sure he doesn’t...

Just give them the title now

Worst case scenario Man Utd? They still won Europa league a few seasons ago and finished 2nd in a very competitive 17/18 premier league season. Much like us they made a few very bad transfers which collapsed their squad. I think it?s a real possibility we may turn into AC Milan after their 30+...

@Birdy very good article and it was written back in January. Seems like the writing was on the wall since then. Crazy how he says Valverde told him that the players have to make all the decisions and there isn't much he can do in the way of tactics since every Barca player is experienced in...

I sort of agree with this take. He has nothing to lose at this point. He is old and it's almost definite that he will get sacked soon. Might as well bench them and let it all blow up in their faces.

They have not lost a match since the restart. In top form and their attack/counter attack is lightning fast.

I'm not even sure if Messi has one more La Liga in him. RM will only get better next year. Vinicius is thriving and Hazard is adjusting to the team. Not to mention they are most likely buying Camavinga too, giving a huge boost to their aging midfield. We will see how it goes, but I fear next...

I think even a coach with no experience like Pimienta sees the writing on the wall. It's career suicide for practically any coach to come here now.

One thing that I do not like about older Messi is his refusal to be a mentor to the canteranos. In his younger days he always had mentors in the club: Ronaldinho, Edmilson, and Sylvinho come to mind. You would think with how supportive those players were of his progress he would be a lot...
