Thought they could still get through on GD. Didn’t realise the head to head came into play! Shows how much I pay attention to the CL these days.

Sign a short deal on next to nothing wages knowing the club will get a massive surge in revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 re-signing messi just adds to their problems of having too many "top class" forwards in the squad who go through the squad rotation. I'm sure that Raphinha, Fernan Torres, Lewandowski,. Dembele, Ansu Fati, Depay would love to have Messi just so there's a 7th forward option for the squad. That's something I would do on FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) I saw Messi has 50 goal involvements in 2022 in 40 games and didn't get in the top-whatever players. I think he will have a better crack at the World Cup then retire at Barca in a couple of years Edited October 27, 2022 by sharkyvilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
