I wondered this, the last I saw on the gossip grapevine, Messi was going to stay at Barca, but take a 50% wage cut.

I know it's Messi, but he's now 34, and even the greats can't beat father time.

Messi is an amazing footballer and I had the pleasure to watch him live 2 years ago at the Nou Camp,the ball stuck to his feet like glue, a truly amazing footballer.

Barca where playing United and they made them look like Rochdale, Messi took them apart with an amazing solo performance

Lucky you

The time we went to Barcelona and planed to watch a game, the La Liga game that we played to watch was brought forward 24hrs and the only game on whilst we was there was the Champions League game against Basel and as they had already won the group, all the “big players” were rested :roll:

Paahaha and there it is. What is it with people who think the GOAT would struggle against Jonjo Shelvey and James Tomkins. :lol:

His record against the Prems best teams in the Champions League is ridiculous.

i was more on about the standard of refereeing and the culture of english tackling rather than the standard of defending.

but i'm sure you could pick a couple of defenders in la liga just as pedestrian as those two,

This is a guy who played in several el clasicos against Ramos and Pepe.

I can’t think of 1 tough tackling CH in the Premier League.

Great player, possibly the best ever but now beyond his best and getting worse, his level now IMHO is 45 mins every game then now and then for City, Chelsea and that's it,no one else can afford him.PSG not attractive enough but I think their money is which is sad and could taint his reputation.

At 34 he has nothing left to prove, and has all the money in the world. If it was truly all about football his next move should be the Premier League, but it should be to a smaller club, not a big six/seven to literally show what difference to a team he can truly make

Roy of the Rovers stuff, but it is his for the making.

Give him a call, Sean…… as I tell my kids…… “it’s just a conversation”

Aye, he only got 38 goals and 14 assists last season. Definitely past it :roll:

If he is going to be elsewhere next season (which I still highly doubt due to yearly boring will he/ won't he saga he seems to need) hopefully it is the MLS or Saudi.

The is just a myth. Sure the PL is faster than the other leagues, but Messi's intelligence and positional and tactical awareness more than makes up for that. Because people have been used to his amazing dribbling skills, they grossly underestimate that he is one of the best passers of a football in the game. He wouldn't be the early Messi of old, but make no mistake he would still light up the PL.
