No one can pay the fee Barca would ask. He's pretty much bigger than life in Barcelona.

few "bad" games and he is finished 
United can afford him. His release clause is €250 million.
For a 29 years old player? Would be not only bad management but financial suicide, his wages would be from another world. We don't even know if he would be a top player when he hits the 30's, some players decline really fast soon they reach the over the hill age of footballers.
United could still afford him.
He will be back again at some point, people are, like always, jumping the gun.
Such an overreaction
He's out of form but was still Barca's only attacking threat, and was 10x better than Neymar and Suarez.
Messi is far from finished and will definitely win another Balon D'Or or two before he retires.

He'll be back. He can't dribble as well as he did in the past but still has a lot of tools to hurt the opposition.
He isn't even gone.
Can't Messi take an off and play only the knock outs in the Copa. It is not like it is the real Copa this time around. It is more of a show off version.
Brazil and Argentina could use this tournament as a practice match for their U21 team which will go to the Olympics.

They played against weak teams during that time.

all with his left foot and in the last 15 mins when opposition are tired. one footed flat track bully?

You understand that his left foot is better than you having 8 feet right?
It's also cool to see which against teams he scored the most (Atletico, Sevilla, Real Madrid)
And it doesn't say it but I bet he has a good percentage of openers & winners than goals "to decorate and take your shirt off showing your muscles"

if i had 8 feet i'd be in the circus, making the kind of money messi could only dream of, even if i paid tax.
Yeah Madrid at the Bernabeu, very weak (game was settled before Messi even came on).
So Messi was injured and missed just one match in 3 months? Cool.
I posted here the list of teams Barceona faced during the time messi was injured. They all were weak except for Sevilla (and they lost against them).
Then they won against Madrid who wasn't the strongest team in the world back then, with the players trying to fire Benitez.
Not bad
My God, could watch his compilations all day long
I loved and adored brazilian Ronaldo (and still do), but injuries took the best out of him so there will always be 'what if' when he's in question. With Messi there's no 'what if', he's just best ever without any questions. And still so young which means we'll enjoy his football for years to come!
its insane the amount of nutmegs he does. So much its kind of standard turning away from a defender and you actually don't even notice it anymore
Messi has a bizarre sense of when someone's legs are open. I swear he nutmegs somebody every game.
The best player in the world by far.
And the best ever imo.
Shame he won't play against Chile tomorrow

Long but excellent
Wonderful performance in the Copa America last night, 3 goals and an assist in 30 mins of being subbed in.
Yet another wonderful free kick.

Crazy.
It was just Panama though.
love the new look, there is only one Messi with beard though....
Would love to see him live one day while still in his good years, must be like god on the field.
Can't forget the first time I saw him play live. He played a perfect game and the stadium went crazy. Also, all our strikers scored.
Never forget the first time I saw him play live ... Because it's one of his worst performances in a Barcelona shirt . Finished 0-0 against Sevilla and messi missed a penalty in the 94th minute
No, no, don't state the obvious. Let's pretend it was a World Cup final and Messi has just made his Argentina career less shit.
Isn't there a thread for that? This thread is about his performances.
His Argentina career was never shit. Now, your posting on the other hand..
Newbie system is failing it seems.
World Cup finalist, Copa America finalist. What a shit career indeed
Everytime I see your tagline I feel a tiny amount of pride that I played a part in itWorld Cup finalist, Copa America finalist. What a shit career indeed
Laughable ain't it? What's funny is it's nothing compared to the dross he spouted in the newbie forum. He's a Barcelona hater and spends time at his work watching 'Barcelona training how to dive' videos....
What is failing? Newbie system or his Argentina career?
We're entering the bearded Messi era.
He's never turned up at the Euros, though.
Not a tiny part, don't underrate what you did!Everytime I see your tagline I feel a tiny amount of pride that I played a part in it
