Argument is Barca are playing bluff with La Liga but I too think it's far fetched.
Messi's next club: place your bets!
- Thread starter OleBoiii
- Start date
Yeah same. I think people are heavily impacted by players saying they are going or being linked elsewhere to get better contracts but this isn’t one of them cases he is gone
Surprised how many think City will sign him; I feel he's nailed on for PSG. He has far more friends there, and that's actually an important thing for Messi.
I would give it some time before ruling out that he returns to Barca. La Liga will not want to bear those losses and will re-evaluate surely.
I think you are drastically underestimating the severity of Barca's financial situation. The deal has been all but agreed for weeks, the only reason he hasn't already signed was thstg they don't have room in their wage bill due to La Liga's cap. Not saying this isn't a tactic to try and get the league to blink, but given their circumstances this scenario was a genuine possibility.
Do you guys live in fairy land?
Why should Messi pay for free, like it is such a ridiculous standard you bunch have
."Oh Messi is a greasy greedy little cnut, how is he not playing for free, if he is so great as everyone says"
And for your information, even if Messi played for free, Barcelona still could not have been able to register him. Because even without Messi's wages, they are unable to meet the wage cap set by La Liga.
Sign him up Ed, Messi and Wan Bissaka toghether on right side will be the greatest combo ever in football history

internet street cred?
I wish I can get that.

So now with Grealish to City, does that rule City out for Messi?
PSG
Blackpool
If he leaves it will be for PSG I feel. Won't have to break a sweat there, earn a shit ton of money and have a shot at the CL.
City or Chelsea.
Messi to PSG = Barcelona black ops to get Mbappe 
If he comes to Citeh, there goes our last hope we will win the league soon
If we were smart enough, we would try and pursue him.

Psg booked some presentation on Eiffel tower on 10th of August.
Done deal with Psg
They're gifting Mbappe to Real rather ..Messi to PSG = Barcelona black ops to get Mbappe
If he leaves it’ll be PSG or America. There is no chance he will move to another top league.
That it’s only cause no one can afford him.
Agreed.
He won’t drop his mental demands and shut up the idiots who have said for over a decade he will never risk playing in another top league.
I’d love to see him in the EPL.
That would be awesome but almost impossible
Why Messi has to play in EPL? To proof what exactly?
He is a multiple Ballon D'or and UCL winner.
Harry Kane shines in the EPL, and he is 3 tiers below Messi as a player.

If he plays in the EPL they’ll say that he has to shine in el Calcio.
He's always had one big question mark over his legacy, can he do it outside of the perfect setup he has at Barcelona? He doesn't need to come to the PL but he can't just go to a stacked club like PSG in a farmers league and expect to answer it.
PSG for sure. He spent years trying to get the Barca board to resign Neymar. Now he'll go there to reunite. Plus Argentinian coach and a very good chance at winning the CL.
He was hugely successful back when La Liga and Barca were strong and on top. Now that they aren't anymore, he's off to another easy, comfortable environment. That's why it's a stain on his legacy.
Thats why maradona will always be miles ahead, he carried teams to success. The current equivalent of what maradona did with napoli would be messi joining a club like west ham and making them league and european winners. I'd be surprised if messi got them top 4! Messi knows this and thats why he'll goto a team thats stacked, he's not fit to lace maradonas boots..
He is 34 years old.
How comes a 6 times Balloon D'or winner needs the PL to boost their legacy?
Harry Kane ,who was never in a Balloon D'or podium, scores for fun in the EPL...what makes you think that Messi can't do the same if he goes to City?
Messi destroyed all kind of english teams in his peak at UCL.
He goes to PSG because he wants to play with his buddy Neymar in his last years as a professional, that's it....he doesn't need PL to boost anything, when he is already praised by many legends as best footballer in History or compared to Marabdona and Pele.
Maradona had to wait until Napoli signed Careca,Alemao, and Bruno Giordano to win Serie A.
His best season, individually , was the first one, when Napoli ended 8th, but the team wasn't good enough.
The titles came after the players i mentioned arrived.
Time to debunk myths.

Also let us not forget, West Ham will have to break the world record signing, just like Napoli did.
his legacy is set, he’s annihilated epl teams his whole career and playing on an insanely stacked city team that walks the league won’t make a difference
The guy murdered all teams he played against from all the leagues, scoring against teams like Burnley, West Ham, Norwich won't change his legacy. He destroyed best from all the leagues.
It's laughable. People think Maradona would take WH to become PL and CL winners
I'd like to see Messi join a better league but at his age it seems the CL and his family is his priority which is fine. He doesn't need to prove anything to the PL fans really. Perfect setup is a funny accusation. He hasn't had a perfect set up for a number of years and has continued to he absolutely brilliant. But no, Messi must prove he's as good as golden boy Kane, or something as pointless as that.
Barcelona hasn't been the perfect set up for a long time and his peformances are still absurdly good. He's going to win the Balon Dor at 34 while playing for flawed teams at club and NT level.
Truth is he can never satisfy some unless he leads Stoke to glory.
He needs to join us, and win us PL.
Although I doubt that is going to satisy some here
Newell's Old Boys
Ronaldo did it and he's two years older so age is just a number to these guys. It's about ambition, and mentality.
These last few pages tells you that you will never convince everybody no matter how good of a player you can ever be, because someone will always have a reasoning why that player isn't all that, or his legacy is stained because he's not playing for Burnley, or playing for free for a Barcelona that couldn't even afford him even then. That's why he's better off doing whatever he wants to do, because no one should even question what he would do here, there, or on Mars, he'd dominate because he's older now and with a dysfunctional team and is still a top contender for the Ballon d'Or once again.
If we can question this guy, then there isn't a player in history someone won't have a mental take about; he might as well do whatever he wants.
