    Luis Suárez

    Didnt he basically stick two fingers up to Setien on the pitch after being left out for one game? Plus Messi has his back so if they're both here next season Koeman pretty much has to play them both. The problem with legends or big personalities is it's hard to phase them out

    Luis Suárez

    Imagine how much trouble he'd cause next season if he's not playing. Look the shit fit he threw after coming off the bench in one game.

    Luis Suárez

    If he stayed next season then he'd have triggered an extra year so its saved 17 million and sent a strong message.

    Good job he isn't a legend then.

    Luis Suárez

    Fuck off Suarez. Best start Koeman could make would be to get him out the club.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Ronaldo did nothing in that 2018 CL final (or semi final). Messi did have a stinker against Roma but he was the better player that year and won Barca the league. I don't think either were great in 2014 but at least Messi helped Argentina to the World Cup final and scored what should have been...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    The worst Messi will do is sulk for a year while refusing to sign a contract. That's the only hand he has, the fact he can leave next year on his own terms. He's got no intention of leaving this summer and uprooting his family in the current climate. Possibly if his bluff is called he will...

    Donny van de Beek

    I wouldn't mind going the Dutch route again, we pretty much picked apart the Ajax team of the mid 90s, although Van Gaal was a let down in the end.

    Luis Suárez

    Considerably weaker. 07/08 is about right. Although Barca's standards had dipped from 2006 they were still only an away goal at Old Trafford away from a CL final and with a few adjustments won the treble the next season playing brilliant football. Again though Real Madrid won the league...

    Luis Suárez

    The only reason they won anything this season is because just how poor Barca were and a weak La Liga in general with Atletico not up to much. Even then a lot of VAR help post lockdown as they were 2nd going into lockdown. They were well beaten in the last 16 of the CL again this season. The...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Yep. Doubt he has any intention to leave this summer. The club need to call his bluff because he's not got the best interests of the team at the moment. If he was demanding better players then fine but he wants his washed up team mates who are dragging him down to stay.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    There's a big difference between having a whole team built entirely around you with quality and hard work in order for you and the team to succeed and having to carry a hopelessly old and slow team when you're 33 with poor stamina. The same team Messi nearly carried to a treble last year with...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    He's just having on of his sulks, i doubt he wants to uproot his family right now, especially given the pandemic situation. He might give serious thought to leaving next summer though, especially if Dad's Army is being broken up.

    He should go to PSG or Inter. Slower league. If Quagriela can top score at 36 Messi could easily.

    They were largely good enough domestically (without being the players they were) but flopped hard in key CL games.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    I remember Joe Hart (a poor keeper) saved City from several hammerings in the CL pre-Pep with a string of saves. Including against Barca and Klopp's Dortmund.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    How many forwards have really flourished alongside Messi? Players like Coutinho, Zlatan, Griezmann, Dembele, Dybala and Aguero have been lost or not able to find their own role. Neymar did well but Messi went out of his way to accommodate him and his friendship with Suarez helped him settle...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Maybe, but it shows he's always been difficult to manage. Coaches have accepted it because he's been practically a cheat code on the pitch over the years when he's in the mood.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I remember Pep saying how worried he was because Messi wouldn't speak to him all week in training because he subbed him in a game. He never dared to take him off again. Subsequent managers would only ever take him off if he asked to due to an injury. Coaches have always had to indulge him...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I wouldn't let Messi overplay his hand. The old guard need to be moved on (did years ago) and if he doesn't like it he knows where the door is while Barca can still get a good fee rather than nothing next year and the saved wages can go towards a younger player. I don't think Messi wants to...
