    Lebron held his teams hostage with 1+1 contracts.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Players aren't there to call out boards for their failures, unless it goes personal. that is the truth of it. If you want to judge players/legends as patriots, you can do it as you want and sure, Messi will look bad. But in reality, it isn't like that Xavi,Puyol & Iniesta never came out and...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Messi is so far the total winner here, he is the undisputed legend of the club, Bartou is now a history, a bad one too. Cules will always take his side at the end. Too late? for what? Again, Messi isn't a patriot for sure, but he is a footballer whose job isn't to go in public to call out...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    The problem is, Messi is not any of us. He can say what he wants on his own terms. Why he should challenge a club president who has 3 more years in his time? A one that uses the media for his own benefits? In a time the club is trying to save face after Neymar? he is no patriot, sure. But...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Xavi, Henry, Marquez,Mascherano etc, all didn't have it in writing tbh, Only Iniesta. And all were allowed to leave on their own terms. Him being stupid to not put it on paper isn't far fetched.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Messi said things that people wanted him to say for 3 years, and same people are mad at him. I don't fault him at anything he said tbh, the whole talking of "he should be self critical" is a pure madness that should not be even taken seriously, like yeah we all love to go in public on an going...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    It was said in that lawyer thread on reddit, if he challenged the clause in Spanish court, it took 6 years for final decision in previous case. In FIFA (if Webster rule is available) it will take less, so depends whether it goes in Spanish court or FIFA

    Lionel Messi - v7

    There is no 700M risk, court will decide a realistic release clause based on income. And most speculation it will take years to happen (half decade) and will be below 100M

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Well, their position doesn't matter. It is between Messi and Barca, if Messi decided to make a unilateral termination, it is still between club and player with either/both FIFA and Spanish Court involved. La Liga was the first to make an official public statement, before either player or Barca...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I don't get why Liga feels the need to be part of this publicly. They need to shut up tbh.

    Ronald Koeman

    Again, to impose your game, to have midfield playing their game, they need that from their defense too. I am not ignoring the other aspects, in fact I said they are all important. But you seem to undermine the importance of defenders for defense. And basically throw out their importance for...

    Ronald Koeman

    Agree, I don't want more that one. You are missing the point here. It is a team work, and yes attack and midfield play a part, but so does defense That pacey defender change a lot. And It isn't just about elite defender. Prime Pique was elite defender but I won't take 2 Pique as starting CB...

    Ronald Koeman

    That is a problem right here, you need that Sterling/Mpabbe/Dembele/Gnabry type of pace in your front line. Not just a quicker than Messi One that teams will regret trying to press you. He makes everything easier for the rest of the team. When Griezmann started against RM inCamp Nou, they...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Dembele wss generally average at best at either position, and he played many games on RW when he first arrived. Still mediocre. Funny too he was signed to be LW and replace Neymar.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    How is Dembele comprised by Messi? Especially in comparison to Griezmann?

    Ronald Koeman

    It is all connected. When you have slow CBs, teams will take advantage of it and use speed to force you to alter plans. When you lack speed upfront (and I am talking real speed, not Trincao/Griezmann speed) teams can play highline because you can't take advantage of it. With both, even the...

    Arturo Vidal

    Well, how many players in that age get their clubs transfer fee? I mean in all our history, I only remember Mascherano? and that was due to him leaving midseason, the likes of Henry and Marquez left for free. Juve might pay Higuain & Khedira to leave

    Ivan Rakitić

    That is a fitting come back for you. :lol:

    Ronald Koeman

    This, always this. When you lack speed at CB, you can't impose your game the way you want. You either be a little more conservative to accommodate for CB problem, or you simply get screwed on the counter. And that is not even counting teams like Bayern who will play on full speed whether we are...
