That is if it were true...

If it happens to be true, then I say we cash in on Messi pronto. No time for nonsense! But I really doubt it...

he is a Don...

Cash in?...Cash in?

Lets wait till 2016 abeg..with this our current midfield,cashing in on Messi now would be shooting ourselves in the foot.

Josep Bartomeu has told Lionel Messi he will sack Barcelona coach Luis Enrique after Sunday's clash against Atletico Madrid, with the Argentine believed to have requested the appointment of Frank Rijkaard...


http://m.goal.com/s/en-ng/news/7820772?ICID=HP_HN_5

But honestly, it isn't fair to see a player become "too influential" over a coach like d case of Messi over Luis...

RaeMystix:


I'm doing great.
Hmm!....See you....Now you are in support of Man Utd, after our great turn around from last season.

Who is Rijkaard sef?

homesteady:


the president denied this story since yesterday!

Austeenx:


are you for real?

Johnpaul88:
So what could possibly be the cause them because I know Messi have started every single liga match this season except that Sociedad match and the champions league?

Of course the president have confirmed that he actually held talks with Messi to discuss things, so it's a given that their is a frosty relationship between Messi and Enrique. It's everywhere in the media. You can't even miss it even if you wish not to see.

Johnpaul88:
I thought u guyz were critical of me for saying Messi shouldn't be allowed to have his way all the time, as it undermines the coach and set a bad precedent.

The only reason I have heard that precipitated this apparent fallout between Messi and the coach was that he was benched for only 45 minutes! ONLY 45 MINUTES!! NOT A MINUTE MORE and he's fighting tooth and nail to see him sacked. If that's not a bad omen for the club that Messi might soon become uncontrollable if not checked, then I don't know what is. I'm even beginning to detest this Messi. He now wants everything to go his way because he's our best player. Smh!!

Cash what?
Egbon Mi, are You sure You really want to cash in?

mcdreeezy:
Ya, you could say that. I'm not asking him to be extraordinary, but at least he has to get the basics right. Simple things like passing the ball accurately shouldn't be an uphill task for him. That's the mistake I saw he made a couple of times against sociedad, if a player has deteriorated or lost form, at least he should be able to get the basics right. And I believe that's something u can perfect in training...

homesteady:
I still don't get what went wrong between Messi and Lucho! Lucho used to praise him almost after every match! That sociedad match is not enough to cause any serious wahala!

Well thats what you get when you bring a coach of lucho and tata status to manage a team like Barca!

Our board don't know that with the number of accomplished superstars in the team, they also need an accomplished Coach to manage them! If Lucho went to madrid, I'm sure by now he would have fought all the players!
I even wonder why we did not track Van gaal, he was our coach before and he still got it in him. From stories I've read, he is a strict man! Perfect for this barca team!

Like I said earlier on... IF it were true... Abeg, would you like to have a dictator in your team? To even operate to such heights? If it were true, then I must admit our enemies have been right all along, calling Messi a dictator. And that would also prove the Ibrahimovic, Villa, Tello et al incidences to be valid and true.

coded01:

Really?
Why una dey believe everything Presido dey yan na?
The same way he denied there wasn't a rift between Mess & Luis!
The same way he denied Messi's influential role in appointing Tata!
The same guy wey accuse Messi of demanding improved contract b4 he became d president, yet Messi denied that....
Who we go believe na? --- We aren't pikin!

dmcdad:

It seems you only took cognizance of "cash-in" and not taking into account the conditional "if" that goes along with it. If it's true as it were, then I wouldn't want Messi in my team any longer. I love the guy, but would not tolerate dictatorship in my team. Remember, I used "if". If it ain't true, which i expect, then let's leave things the way they are. I don't have any problem whatsoever with Messi being in the team. I just would not accept dictatorship of any sort.

dmcdad:

You are right I must say... But yet, let's give him sometime and see how it goes with him. Some more gametime wouldn't hurt. Would it?

Austeenx:


are you for real?

I support u on Van Gaal...



But on d issue of experience it doesn't really go like dat, look at Guardiola...

Bros... I wasn't against you in totality, but with the fact that, no one was sure if all these news about Messi wanting to get Lucho sacked with his influence was true or not. Besides, it seems you don't know yet, that I don't and won't tolerate balderdash from any player. Ask dippsset how I myself and coded01, plus some others were against Messi earlier on in the season when he was showing some lackadaisical and remiss attitude towards the entire play of the team. We were very displeased and even went as far as saying he should be sold if the opportunity arises. Meanwhile, that was something which we saw ourselves, as it was obvious on the field of play. As for this, it ain't verified and so, everything we would be saying should be preceded with a big "if".

coded01:



Why you be doubting Thomas?



Why are you refusing not to believe what is becoming too glaring until "we get a hidden video showing Messi influencing his choice of coach"?



Dmcdad, it's too obvious my broda, we as Fans all like "Messi" but why be say na Messi this na Messi dat?



My take, Messi is unbelievably "too influential" & many of us don't believe because he looks too reserve but i believe behind close doors, he is a Don... --- He dey control tins wey pass am...

coded01:



My broda, if you are looking for verification, you aren't going to get it...


Verification kor, varifekason ni...


Okay, make i get my hidden camera video Messi talking ____________...

Guy, everybody can't be lying...

Austeenx:
if messi is actually the one that determines who the club hire or fire, then we're in some serious trouble.
if the guy wants to employ and sack, he can hang his boots and contest - summer elections already approaching.

dmcdad:

See ehn... No be say I no believe, na just say some are just too unreasonable to believe. The reason I use IFs is that, there are some things we can't tell from afar, but like i would always say, if e happen say this and that about Messi na really true, then na to sell am sharply be that.

Where I start to dey fear say Messi go be baddo na when I hear say him give girl belle. I say shoo, see Messi wey you go dey feel say him no even get dîck sef, how come him take placker? From then I start to fear say bros fit be green snake oooooo.

But seriously and frankly, the rumours about Messi can not all be wrong. I feel at least 50% of them could be true. Maybe more, maybe less.

Let's ask this question;


1) How come Ibrahimovic is lying? Yet he chosed Messi among his best 11 team!


2) How come d same president while he was d Vice-president accused Messi of requesting for improved contract? Yet Messi obviously denied it.


Yet d same President go deny everything just to save Messi & club...


Must we get a hidden camera around Messi to believe he is a ___________...
