    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    I'm not convinced he was asking for just that. Wouldn't be surprised if the amount was closer to 50. He went to PSG, then now Inter Miami, both on huge money deals, and was entertaining Al Hilal's offer too. He's looking for a payday at the back end of his career (even though he already made...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    One important and true part of Messi's interview was this - 'I didn't want the club to have to make sales and salary cuts and then to be attacked because of that for trying to sign me'. Said, obviously, in the knowledge that his wage demands were very high and the club would need to make huge...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    He wasn't waiting. He just wasn't interested in Barca and is scared to say it for some reason. The guy went to PSG and then Inter Miami whilst also being a Saudi ambassador. And they say money didn't factor into anything. He should just own it. Nothing wrong with wanting to profit off your talent.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    'last minute' Whilst his contract doesn't even finish yet until June 30. 😂😂😂 Total bollocks from Romano and Messi camp. He can't even sign for any new club yet until nearly a month and they're calling it last minute. Reality is he wasn't interested in Barcelona.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Neither side wanted the return, the media talk was just theatrics. His plan was always to do a few years at PSG then go to Inter Miami, that was reported since years ago. People need to understand this fact : Messi likes money and wants to be paid what he is worth. We dont have the facilities...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Laporta never wanted him back anyway, this return has pretty much been pushed just to appease the fans and by Xavi, because he already chose to let him go before. We then sold significant assets to fund a big transfer window without Messi. The truth is this deal made no sense for any party...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Probably the reason is we are still paying obscene wages to players joining the club.

    European Super League

    It should be considered suspicious that Juve withdraw from the Super League whilst receiving a punishment for an unrelated matter from UEFA. Possibly some kind of exchange under the table.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Hard to trust him on attackers after he signed Ferran Raphinha and Lewa at a huge outlay and then wants to turn around saying we don't have talent in the final 3rd. Those three cost a lot of money both in fee and wages. Someone else should probably handle attackers from now if that's the case.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Que?!?! You compare Bundesliga titles with pre-COVID LaLiga titles? Or even ones from pre-2016? That is unbelievable. To be fair, winning it with Dortmund is a significant achievement, but counting the Bayern ones as anything close to winning LaLiga is no bueno. The fact is that we were...

    Karim Benzema

    Injuries yes, but come on, don't make out like he wasn't world class during his career. Last season was freakish and probably one of the best club campaigns of any player in history. It's normal he won't usually match that. But in general, his level has still been good, other than the 5 goal...

    La Liga Round 38: Celta Vigo - FC Barcelona 2-1

    Garcia playing = goal conceded. Pretty obvious by now. Yet we really want to persist with him and find some way that he could possibly contribute to this team.. he just can't. Let him go.

    Karim Benzema

    I don't know how you call 18 Liga goals in 23 'default settings'. Me reading that leads me to think he must be an amazing player if that's his normal goal rate.

    Xavi Hernández

    Messi isn't willing to play for a minimum wage... If he was, we'd be signing him already instead of spending money on Neves and Zubimendi which would easily go to paying Messi's wages.

    Xavi Hernández

    Yeah... None of it makes sense. LaLiga is the best league in the world, he says, and we are the dominant victors of it, yet we are not at the level of Juventus, who haven't even won Serie A for like 3 years. He has obviously a mental block when it comes to Europe and I don't think we will do...

    LaLiga 2

    He has great athleticism, very fast and quite strong, good explosiveness, but his main strength is outstanding movement. He is similar to Werner/Ferran/Nunez but for a fifth of the price any of those cost. Poor finishing but still a huge goal threat simply by way of top movement and speed...

    We should go for Uzuni. I've watched him a lot in his career. Extremely talented.

    Funny that. We were told by the Barca press it was another Alemany masterclass.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    And, not surprisingly at all, it is firmly the 4th worst of the top5 leagues. Possibly joint worst with Ligue 1. Unfortunately the sport has become a pay-to-win exercise where shady sheikhs and financial doping rules all. The annoying thing about the PL is its gonna leave countries with...

    The Negreira case

    It just doesn't really make sense because why launder money with a high ranking CTA official? It can look so much worse than what you're actually doing should it be revealed. Perhaps Negreira's blackmail was actually to reveal the money laundering of the directors of the club. A thing that...
