In last 12 months they've signed Odegaard, Nacho Monreal, Isak, Portu and now David Silva. Get in the europa and have the Copa del rey final pending v Bilbao. Wish we could do a transfer year like that one day. Great signing for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously find them impossible to like these days! Was similar for me, they played good football and were near the top without winning. I used to love Signori I think both Roman clubs are despicable fans though i still admire the football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I thought he'd be smart enough to wait a season or two but guess not. I imagine he'll get a pretty sweet contract to come in and be the new fall guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Messi, Suarez, Rakitic, Vidal and Rafinha all sitting on contracts the expire next summer. Sure Barca would be delighted to cash in on all of them except for Messi rather than lose them for nothing but the wages makes it almost impossible now due to Covid-19 crashing the football economy. They sure have a lot of 30+ player on massive wages who are not performing anymore. Jordi Alba has a contract until 2024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 And there it is, as expected Henrik Larsson has been appointed assistant manager to Ronald Koeman at Barca. Brace yourselves for unlimited Barcelona w*****g in Swedish media, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 If that's the case he needs to learn from Bale, keep his wage demands and he's going nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Messi will have to slash his wage demands to around £20m a year basic in order to find someone to sign him Imagine that conversation with the wife. I know, I know it’s a lot less than I’m on but £20m is still good money, we’re going to be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Messi can go for free in a few months so its in Barcelona's interest to cash in and while they still can and dramtaically cut their wage bill. Man City or PSG would be favourites to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City obviously spend a lot of money but not necessarily in the fashion that people suggest, not like psg do that's for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi could well be the greatest footballer of all time. I don’t think the other players will kick up a fuss tbh. He’s a special player for a special price. Could you imagine how many £110 shirts they’d sell with Messi on the back??? Edited August 21, 2020 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
