In just burst into laughter reading his comments.

Barca is battling issues with its players, but baba is more concerned with Madrid in the market negotiating sales of it's players.

Some days back he was more co concerned with Ronaldo Instagram and Twitter post.

Talk of absolute lack of focus. From Barca board to Messi FC

Destiny delayed for a fucckking 33yr old, that's almost at the end of his playing career. What nonsense!

Maybe he thinks himself bigger than the club. All the embarrassing defeats we suffered, dude was part and parcel of that shameful team but he did nothing to change the situation. Everyone is quick to blame the board but major culprits who have consistently underperformed are being celebrated. Stop making it seem he shouldn't be part of those held responsible for the Barca slump. Infact, he's one of the people I hold responsible. If you think he's paid his due, then I'll say he should pay them again. Afterall he's on a massive contract, coasting home to millions of euros yearly. His services never came free of charge. Abandoning a club in times of crisis, one which you yourself was part of in making, is cowardly.

I want Barcelona to frustrate him so he knows no player, no matter who you are, is bigger than a club that's an institution. In few years, no one will talk about Messi as much as now but Barcelona will remain for a very long time.

Messi is a GOAT on the pitch but a coward outside it. I don't care what anyone else say but that's the truth. Board members and Messi share almost the same blame for what's happening at the club. I expected more from Messi too. After the humiliation against Bayern.. a club captain and a player of his calibre should have said something but no.. Messi decided it was time to leave for FREE!

The funny thing is that nobody is talking about player acquisition, all the talk is centered on Messi.

Personally, I'd say Barcelona should let him leave, the club hasn't done enough in the past few years to help him, it's painful when you play your best yet your team mates keep letting you down.

How do you go from playing with Ronaldinho and Eto to playing with Henry and Ibra to playing with Villa and Pedro and then MSN and next, Dembele who is hardly ever fit or Griezmann who seems lost?

It's even worse in midfield, from Xavi, Iniesta, Toure/Keita to Busquets, Rakitic and Iniesta and now De Jong (Very good) and Busquets (past his best) and Vidal (Not Barca quality, doesn't mean he is a bad player)

The less said about the defense, the better.

I don't even want to talk about the decision to employ inept coaches...

Messi has every right to want out, the present board has wasted his efforts the past few years and the sorry thing is that nothing looks like changing any time soon.

Let Messi go for 150m and start the rebuilding process immediately before it's too late...

The club hasn't done enough to help him? Like seriously? Tell me another club who has spent more money on players acquisition than Barcelona in the last five years. Big names have all arrived but since all attention is on Messi, they cannot adapt and Messi being captain of the club has done absolutely nothing to assist the players to adapt. Coutinho, Dembele and Grezimann are all big players before they joined but all have become ordinary player after joining. But we must blame the board for everything because everyone blames the board.

joviegghead:

Messi should assist them to adapt?

Messi should assist Dembele not to have injuries?

Messi should assist the coach to stop playing the players, like Griezmann, out of position?

Messi should assist Coutinho not to go missing in matches?

Wow! (this isn't a remark over your wisdom, just the opposite )

You're the one of the people in this thread that calls a spade a spade, and I appreciate that

Neymar left because he was being "shadowed" by messi, Other players are not appreciated in Barcelona because messi is there, He always takes all, I mean all the glory.

I was merely replying a Messi fan who claimed that the club didn't help Messi by bringing in top players. Messi cannot babysit anyone but as a club legend and captain, there's so much he could have done for new players coming in, so the club can get the best out of them. He didn't do anything.

Look at the style of football Barcelona play, can Busquets, Rakitic and Vidal still deliver especially against top quality opposition?

Can you compare Lenglet to Puyol?

Semedo, is he anything close to Alves?

Coutinho, Griezmann and Dembele all cost above 100m and can't acclimatize to new surroundings unless Messi helps them. When did this start becoming an excuse?

See how City has shipped out Kompany, Navas, Kolarov, Sagna and co yet at Barca, you still retain the services of Busquets, Suarez and Rakitic.

Arthur was recently shipped out for Pjanic, who is 30yrs or thereabout and you think the board are doing great...

If not for sentiments, don't you think Hazard would have been a better option to Dembele and Griezmann considering his style of play?

Messi has obviously sat down and thought to himself that he can't waste the last few years of his career carrying the team on his neck.

modextus:
Exactly! People keep saying he's done so much for the club like he was playing free of charge! Man was the highest paid footballer in the world! He should've simply rejected the pay.

Most of these players you mentioned mentioned have all underperformed. Some have been told to find a new club but Messi, despite the adulation and adoration he receives from the fans and the club, must raise hell before he leaves. Definitely not captain like.
