I thought you swapped KWP plus 3 mill for hojberg? I think that was actually a great deal if that's the numbers. He'll be really solid for you guys

 

[Coupé It]

Man Messi isn’t going anywhere. Bartomeu will quit by tomorrow night and Messi will stay.

 

[Bosa]

Im predicting things left to right. Almost landed the messi news a day before the crush (said 5-0 crush he goes to retirement aka 8-2 crush and leaves barca)and now maguire out here bullying peeps after i mentioned his bully elementary school hairdo

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Whether it happens or not, all this is funny

Whoever is scripting 2020 has a sick mind

 

[ajiiiplatinum]

you're*

and what did I miss? You said firmino, salah and mane are better forwards/strikers than mbappe, therefore he's not a top 5 player.

reading comprehension and grammar are two different things.
I missed a period too.
I will go fix my grammatical error and you can go re-read my statement about MBappe and fix yours.

 

[haicheo]

I agree with Pedrerol, regardless of WHO he is, there is no way that a PLAYER should ever be above a President in a club.

what precendence does that set? Bartomeu should let Messi leave, and like they said it should be in accordance with a world record fee.

it’s gonna get REAL spicy when Messi skips on training on Monday.

 

[spacedoodoo]

Add Fermino and Mane to the list then.
Proves my point that MBappe is not a top 5 player or even forward/striker

 

[Thierry Henry]

Thread is delivering so far

I'd agree but the president needs to be deemed competent, not sure if that's the case here.

 

[vtotheinay]

this is going to get...messi...

100% but they have their own methods of calling for Elections and replacing the man at the helm.

under no circumstance should ANY player be able to say “it’s me or him.”

could you imagine Ramos, CR7, or Raul say “if Florentino doesn’t leave, IM OUT!” Never

 

[haicheo]

this is going to get...messi...

apparently there is murky wording in the contract where he had until 6/1 to opt out of continuing at Barca. Messi’s people will argue that the season did not finish until the UCL was done, either way, he did not give them a 20 day heads up.

 

[tomdiginson]

What will this mean for La Liga's appeal now that Messi's out? This is not good if you're trying to find a new TV deal in a few years

Madrid has been turrible to watch and if Atletico continues to play the way they do, then La Liga will officially be a fulltime snooze fest.

Add Fermino and Mane to the list then.

Firmino and Mane over Mbappe? Ok, you're just trolling at this point. Even tomdiginson @Bantz Lord T ain't riding with that

Mbappe is a talented player but also has his shortcomings. However, from a pure striker standpoint, I would put him over Firminho. Firminho is a terrific player and fits our style of play due to the aggressive goal-scoring nature of our wingers, so he looks at creating chances, but from the traditional standpoint of what strikers are supposed to do, Mbappe is the better player.

As for the comparisons with Mane, Sadio is more proven as he has played in three different leagues with lesser known players and has shown consistently that he is still capable of getting that goal. See the Liverpool vs Madird champions league for example. Mbappe is a younger player and has only played in France, but he has a higher ceiling than Mane due to his age. You can make the argument that if you were to compare Mane at 21 vs Mbappe at 21., that Mbappe is better, but you can also argue that Mbappe is playing in France with quality players (On both Monaco and PSG) vs a bunch of part-time footballers as well as being on a stacked French National team.

 

[jape]

imagine messi debuting against wolves for city
i'm getting married the exact same day...

might have to skip the wedding.

 

[vtotheinay]

essentially says messi wants city

 

[rolaholic]

Barca tier 1 apparently too...

Might actually throw up if that day ever comes...

Always wanted to see Messi in the Prem but man...

 

[jape]

but forreal i don't think messi is even giving the option for the board to leave and he'll stay type of thing.
i think he's actually had enough. the board has been beyond disrespectful. i really believe messi would take a pay cut also to play for a good squad. he's gonna hate manchester though



i gotta let this sink in. messi in england...
yall boys in trouble now

 

[arstyle27]

Late to the party ay?

No, I posted earlier. I meant, like it's confirmed he's going to City...but my buddy pranked me with a photoshop ...so yea lol

I was thinking about this also. He sent a request to terminate his contract. Even if bart resigned and they honored his contract he's not bound by anything. I don't think it was a threat. He legit wants out

You guys are about to be ****** in the manchester derby the next few years
