On thing that Xavi got right with him is probably to tell him 'hug the line and cross or pass the ball around the box for an open teammate'. He got too much 'freedom' with previous managers and he did his own thing - horrible misses, mindless sprinting that usually resulted in an injury relapse...

I labelled that as trolling because it was a dumb argument to make. If you want I can label it for what it is and just assume you don't know anything about football. Messi has declined, but circumstances are different for him. He made a big change late in his career and it didn't turn out as he...

Two issues with this guy: 1. Decision making and finishing are still hot and cold. Mostly cold, for what a world class player should be. 2. You never know when the next big injury will hit and he misses half/full season. That's why we shouldn't budge and give him a big salary.

I believe that this drama is just for the interviews. He and Madrid have probably agreed not to stir shit up while Real is still involved in the CL and LL title run. Deal will be announced in May most likely.

Going by your dumb logic Michail Antonio is a better player than both Messi and Auba because he scored 8 goals, in a weaker side but in the best league around. Or Joselu is better than Messi because he scored 12 with Alaves. Good luck spinning that around into some other weak troll attempt!

We wouldn't have dropped into the EL, that's for sure. And also we would have fared better in LL, in the first months. There is absolutely everything that indicates results would have been better under Koeman. I think people tend to mix up Messi's struggles with PSG, Koeman's ineptitude and...

Massive? Where do you live bro? She's as average as they come :lol:

No, it's going to be a walk in the Deutsche Bank Park.

De Ligt didn't have 2 years in LL already. Take away the 15M in hype at the time and you get same price for Kounde - 70m.

Probably more to do with the current club financial situation than anything else. Otherwise I would have payed 70m and have the CB partnership for a decade.

We going to haggle for 15-20 mil? Ferran cost nearly the same, no? De Ligt cost 85m. Is he better than Kounde?

I like that he puts power behind his shots. All his finishes are like BANG! and ball it's in the back of the net. Dribbling is also improving from day to day.

My honest opinion is that what's done it's done. His next season with PSG will be more of a vacation, with a WC in the middle that will drain Messi both mentally and physically. If Xavi would have started this season and Messi wasn't sold then I think they would have make it happen. But now...

Speaking of young wingers, Lyon got that Tete lad from Shaktar. Maybe we should have had a look. Cheaper than Rainha and already scored on his debut. Looks pretty good on Youtube.

Not even worth debating. Xavi played with him, has seen him in training and games, seen him on TV over the last years. It's no secret to anyone that Messi doesn't press much. If Xavi really wants Messi and Messi really wants back, then they'll think of something. But since Laporta is here...

PSG will get another striker as neither Neymar or Messi play that role.

I have more chances than that bum Inaki.

As if Xavi doesn't know who Messi is and how he plays. He'll have a 'revelation' now and suddenly realize that Messi doesn't press much. Xavi is not a barcaforum troll, mate.

Many things are different now. Shit, many things are different from what they were at the start of the season. Messi had to come on the pitch in games to save the likes of Griezmann, Braithwate and Dembele not being able to score. Koeman on the bench, enough said.
