No, I said top players come and go, such as Ronaldo from the Prem. Hell from Barca alone you have Cryuff, Maradona, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho. Always have, always will. No one player is that important.
No. You made an analogy between Messi's departure from Barcelona and the other guy from United's. People pointed out that it's more nuanced because their impacts aren't the same.
I made one post saying top players leaves leagues, you tried to turn that into a Ronaldo is nothing compared to Messi thing you utter nutter. You’re derailing the thread.
Like clockwork. Emotional. Hysterical. We're both done, but I suspect you'll be back with another emotional post.
And I’m the one derailing
They won't sell Pedri or De Jong. Those are the only two who can command a high price tag at the moment, but Barcelona rightfully won't let them go. Instead, they're trying to shift the dead weight but nobody is going to take on the Griezmans of the world, with their current wages.

What is their way out? No one is really going to buy their deadwood on high wages.
But they both oppose the deal with CVC bevause it would mean the end of their European Superleague pursuit. Madrid are actually planning to take La Liga and Tebes to court over it. I'm not sure I see how they'd be in cahoots with an organisation that's just negotiated the deal they did with CVC.
There doesn't seem to be a concrete plan. Thy figured that they'd be able to sell some of those throughout the summer but La Liga is a week or two away and they've done absolutely nothing.
Too bad we don’t need either Dembele, Griezmann or Dembele.
I’d take a punt on Pjanic if free. Sign him for a year or two until we wait for one of our long term targets.
Looks like Barca heard me and we'll find out if football ceases to exist in Spain after Messi leaves.
And Messi still broke all the records in Barcelona above everyone you mentioned.
How much more time at barca did he have over them?
For to pay that sort of money to players coming to the end of their careers. You need to be winning the top trophies, fill the stadium each and every game, along with huge sponsorship. You start going downhill otherwise. The Pandemic didn't help either.No, I said top players come and go, such as Ronaldo from the Prem.

Then you went all rosey eyed teenager and started trying to compare Ronaldo v Messi and gushing about your love for Messi.
No-ones interested in that shit debate. Take it to that awesome Ronaldo v Messi thread and swoon at your heart’s content
We are talking about impact on the club, not just the name, Maradona is a GOAT, but his impact in Barcelona was nowhere near to what he did in Napoli.No, I said top players come and go, such as Ronaldo from the Prem.

La Liga don't need to do anything. Let's be honest, the big spanish clubs have ruined themselves and football in the process in recent years with their ridiculous transfers and salaries and now expect everyone to assist them in getting out of the mess they find themselves in. La Liga's salary cap is the most sensible thing i've seen in ages and designed to kill off the ESL once and for all.
Out on loan for the season?
"Please let us bankrupt ourselves"
It's fairly fecking funny that you keep mocking people who point out the shit that Barcelona is in, pinning your hopes on fake news and pretending that other clubs will pay Messis contract, while it's 9 days until your season starts against Real Sociedad and you haven't been able to register any of your new signings.
And I’m the one derailing
In fairness it seems pretty clear that Regulus was making the point that the league will survive without Messi, as good as he may be, given how the PL (and United) were fine after Ronaldo left.
But that's not really the conversation. The topic was who is a legitimate GOAT candidate by general consensus. Cruyff is never going to be in that conversation however much impact he had on barcelona.
Erm... Cruyff single handedly changed the whole approach to football on a European level. Messi made one club better. Cruyff changed the entire game. Think Neuer's good because he redefined the keeper into a sweeper keeper? That's NOTHING to what Cruyff did. The only reason Cruyff is not in that conversation is because it's fecking beneath him.
11am local time, so 10am here I believe.
Haha - sure whatever.
That's likely true, as they won't qualify for the CVC money, 15% of which can be used to cover salaries as far as I understand it anyway.
