We already had those ultimate battles during the crazy El Clasico after El Clasico era. Nothing today would match up to those games anyway. Both players now went to an environment that's comfortable for them - Ronaldo is back in the club that idolizes him and Messi joined his buddies in Paris.

Yep. They play the best football in the league by far under Pep.

God no.

I think they tried to, but he didn't want to go to West Ham permanently

That match is already happening but Messi isn't in the squad today

Okay that was actually a decent goal I guess

United look just as devoid of any ideas as always, Ronaldo won't change that. Ole is just not a good manager. On the flipside, in the City game there have been numerous chances already that Ronaldo could've put away if he joined them. Man made the wrong decision.

60 million could get us Bernardo Silva or Laporte. If we buy Olmo over either of those two...

So happy for him. I'll keep supporting him as a player now and always.

Most sensible post I've read on this forum in a while. I completely agree, there are valid criticisms to be made about Garcia and his most recent performance but all these couch sports analysts acting like they can tell with one look that Garcia doesn't have the ''physique'' or ''talent'' to...

We lost Wijnaldum because PSG offered him double the wages we did, what does that have to do with Laporta not fully rating Koeman? And Luuk De Jong is literally a loan to patch the missing striker spot, because of our current injuries. Not like it's some massive signing.

You also have to take into account of who is available. Considering how little we could afford this summer and who was available - Garcia was the best we could get. And this also applies when selling, we can only sell players that other clubs are actually interested in. Big surprise, but...

I agree that getting Haaland is pretty far-fetched, considering every major club will be fighting for him, but we do actually have some kind of a shot now. This squad desperately needs a fresh start, free from all of Bartomeu's ridiculous signings with enormous wages. Griezmann was part of...

How is Garcia a bad signing? A 20-year old La Masia CB with PL and Spain NT experience for free on low wages. At worst, if he never lives up to his potential we can sell him for at least a few mil, which is already a profit.

We're celebrating that we don't have to watch this ghost running laps on the right side of the pitch while being paid 40 million a year anymore

Messigician is literally a bot that Bartomeu commissioned to be created when he was doing the whole ''slander our own players through social media'' thing. I'm sure of it. Best thing to do is block him :)

If the Griezmann sale goes through it goes from good job to great job :worthy:

Yep, nobody should be kept here against their will. And he's not a huge loss for us either, never fit into the team properly and if we get rid of his wages and make some money on top of that - I'm more than happy personally.

His wages, for one. Extending an already existing contract you can only reduce the wages by a certain amount. It had to be a fresh start to allow for Messi's wages to be 50% lower, plus probably all the bonuses and stuff lower as well.

Right, you're the expert so the only possible scenarios are the 3 that you presented huh :lol: Again, he fully believed he would be able to sign Messi and said so. Messi himself said so too. Things out of their control prevented it from happening, it's as simple as that. You can judge someone...
