He will be back next summer. Laporta just talked more about that possibility in an interview this evening and he sounded really positive. He will probably be on low wages and only feature in 2/3 of our games, but I will take it. He got a lot he can teach our younger players.

What is there for Leo teach youngsters? Surely his diet, training, professionalism is top class, but Messi became the player he is by having once in a lifetime talent. That is not teachable. He is not extroverted, nor is he some Ronaldo/Lewa level fitness freak.

Would not take him even if he agreed to play for free. Contrary to popular opinion he does have an ego and will want to continue starting as much as possible to add to his scoring records and legacy. Fans will fly in from all around the globe to see him play. Having him on the bench is not viable.

What is his position now? How do we accommodate him in a team that wants to play fast paced, pressing football? Which of our attackers will be sacrificed to shoehorn him into the team?

No serious manager like Pep or Klopp would even think of taking him now, let a lone next season at age 36. No place for sentimentality when building a top side.

Laporta and Xavi can’t stop talking about how much they want him back, 99% of the fans want him back and Messi himself wants to come back. He will be back no matter what you or anyone else on here want or not. I am going to love to see the usual suspects on here react when it happens.

He will never let it grow again since all football players are superstitious to a degree. He won last treble clean-shaven and last copa with five 'o clock shadow. RIP the beard.

But i'll never forget the last second goal he scored at the Bernabeu in 2017 with that beard. And THAT celebration. Man really transformed with that beard lol.

Still struck in awe when I see videos of young Messi. Stumbled across his performance vs Juventus in the Gamper trophy and they received three yellow cards against him in a freaking friendly :lol:

Easily the GOAT in his prime. Would be a 500 M player in today's market if the 2011 or 2015 version of him was available.
