It's u who brought up d issue Coutinho, Vidal, Pique, Umtiti and Pjanic. All I did was to address d issues u raised concerning these players. Virtually everything u said above has nothing to do with these players& my comment about them. D more u say u aren't pro-messi, d more ur comments betray u. I wasn't even interested whether u were in d first place. But since u mentioned it, kindly identify d anti-messi sentiments in my earlier comment which I will share below. I will be most glad if u can do so:

[b]"It's funny that u mentioned Coutinho and u say he "very much has a place there", i.e. in d team. D question u should have asked is y is countinho on loan despite d huge transfer fee paid to bring him to Barcelona? Even Vidal who u say should be in teamB has achieved more for Barca than Countinho. Countinho has done more playing against Barca than playing for Barca.

Such a talented & gifted player failing at Barca. How's that possible? D same story goes for dembele& griezman. What of Arda Turan? Y are all these excellent and exceptional players coming to Barca and failing?

Players who before their coming to Barca were a delight to watch and a gift to d game of football. Is it because of Vidal, pique, Umtiti and Lenglet that they failed? Or is it because of d entire midfield that u say is bad that they failed?

U are now celebrating d coming of Pjanic who is 30, exchanged for a 24year old. Yet Barca fans are complaining that majority of d players in Barca are too old. There seems to be a lot of confusion amongst these Barca supporters".[/b]

Chief... Please, don't skip the question...

What would you suggest as the way forward for Barcelona at this time??!

What else is he supposed to do with the free food??!... If or when he dumps her, she should blame no one but herself.

I have absolutely nothing against players... Hate the game, never ever hate the player.

iretiolu92:
what u don't know is, it is very difficult to let go of the person you love and seeing the person every day

True... But, when the person doesn't feel the same way or will clearly never reciprocate, you have to compel yourself to let go, and keep things cordial... This is an everyday occurrence.

Becoming antagonistic and horrible towards the person for not feeling the same way is terribly childish and immature.

FuckThaMod:
If the rich deserves to be rich than the poor then let the rich keep being rich. The world doesn't owe the poor

Precisely... Especially when the poor keep doing dumb things that further enrich the oppressive rich... E.g constantly subscribing to view and vote housemates on BBNaija, while coming online to beg for money.

iretiolu92:
what do you mean? Please oo

Laycon is not acting grown up... No iota of maturity!!!

A real man would ask a girl out, she says no, he thanks her for her time, and moves on. No ill feelings!... He won't go about acting like she told him yes or kept posting him.

Erica told Laycon that she isn't physically attracted to him! It was a clear and direct statement, which she backed up by knacking the guy she is clearly physically enamored with... He ought to have moved on, and kept things cordial, not acting like a petulant little bitch!!!

Honestly, you are neither here nor there...

Is what he is demanding of Buhari achievable or not??! Is he asking for too much??!... What is the whole point of leadership if a nation as big as Nigeria can't even boast of a single hospital of international standard, that all elected officials zoom out at even the occurrence of headaches or common cold??!

SmartPolician:
Buhari spent many years visiting hospitals in London for medical check-up. As a matter of fact, he was away from the country for many months, culminating in concerns that he may be impeached for his absence from work.

Today, that man has never taken steps to build or replicate the standard of hospital he uses in London here in Nigeria as a legacy he's living behind so as to reduce medical tourism.

Sometimes, you don't have to be a genius to make a good leader. You just need a bit of common sense

...And, commonsense is farther from the average Nigerian than the Arctic is far from the Sahara. Thank you for this sir.

So, one can basically prepare a lengthy post about engineering or programming, then add the word Snake at the bottom, and instantly it hits Front page... Interesting Forum!!!

“Nobody compares. They don’t compare to me, not like am bragging or something but, my net worth, my bank account don’t compare to them."

Let them do their homework today first. I expect an upset

As nice and refreshing that would be for the heart and soul of football, nope it won't happen... Bayern will hit Lyon hard and fast!!!

All things being equal, tonight game should end in first half!!! Somethings in football are as sure as Death!!!

ReeLoaDead:
OK oh, I hope you are not a Barca fan because my friend who is one is still squeezing his face from that 8-2

Not at all... I actually enjoyed the televised desecration!!!... I like it when big teams are used as scapegoats so that smaller teams can learn the true meaning of hard work, diligence and seriousness!!!

I equally enjoyed the following evergreen classics:

1. Man United Vs Man City (United fans know the scoreline )
2. Brazil Vs Germany (That game sweet me die)
3. Arsenal Vs Man United (Epic UCL encounter)

I like such football desecration!!!

Raydos:
This corona has blessed some clubs in some way!!

If it wasn't for Corona PSG would've been knocked out right in the Quarter Final, This One-Leg tie is making some clubs qualify to the next round by luck!

And PSG hasn't really played any club that are that good, They Played Atalanta in Quarter final and played RB Leizpeg in Semi final

Unlike Bayern who played Chelsea, Barca!!

Well, let's wait for the Final

Atalanta and Leipzig are 'not that good'??!... Issokay!!!

Even 2nd placed Dortmund is also not that good, yes??! So, PSG can't flog Chelsea and Barcelona??! These current Chelsea and Barcelona??! Wehdone sir!!!

ReeLoaDead:
Do you think Bayern would have walloped Atletico they way Messi & co were manhandled?

Nope... I honestly don't think Bayern would have even walloped Mamelodi Sundowns like that... Atletico would have actually stepped up their game as they did against Liverpool.

Still, your comparison sucks jor!!!

logon599:
Bayern just have to beat Lyon now. It's now compulsory. PSG v Bayern is a final we all deserve to see.

Precisely what I have been saying for sometime now... That is a Final deserving of the name!!!

Something like the following of years past:

1. Liverpool Vs AC Milan (One of the rarest comebacks in history)

2. Man United Vs Chelsea (That was a game of the gods)

3. Bayern Vs Man United (Sigh... There was once football)

ReeLoaDead:
At least Atletico competed. Unlike Messi and his boys that just opened their legs ...

Your argument is amusingly off-point... Atletico didn't play Bayern, neither did Barcelona play Leipzig.

Glad to see Di Maria still has that sweet touch... I wish them nothing but the very best against Bayern/Lyon at the finals. This might be their best, if not only, chance to ever get that far and win this elusive trophy!!!

Can any good political solution come out of a military regime? A coup in this 21st century? This is no good news for Africa at all.

Even Nigeria is long overdue for a military take over... The poor handling of insecurity in the nation, especially the North is more than enough ground.

Since the Legislature have collectively chosen to be unfortunate!!!

Your anti-Messi sentiments and prejudice are quite difficult to hide... It's quite amusing tbh.

First off, I'm neither a Barca nor Messi fan. I couldn't care less what either did to each. I simply say things as I see or perceive them.

Barcelona has been declining for at least 2 seasons now. Every football fan can easily tell the main issue is foundational, and down to their aging and lackluster members of the first eleven...

What I expect from Barcelona is exactly what Zidane and Madrid board have done with Real Madrid... I wonder why you are overstretching this simple argument. It's ridiculous.

This whole back and forth of yours started because I queried a statement saying Messi should be exchanged for Neymar... I gave my clear reasons. Messi is not at the same level as Neymar, and vice versa. So, there is no basis for such poorly thought out statement.

Now, permit me to ask yet again... Where exactly do you stand in all this Barcelona fiasco??! What should be the way forward??!... Let us learn from you too.

lexy2014:
I don't no. U tell me. In addition to d above, pls take note of this in my last comment: "When he was with Barca, what was he giving?"

Write this down, and keep it close...

" Messi trumps Neymar in nearly every area of Playmaking, assists, freekicks, overall output"!!!

When he was in Barca, Neymar was a demigod, cos he dined with a god!!!

I believe we are done here!!!

lexy2014:
How do u no if Neymar won't give up to half of what Messi would give in an entire season? When he was with Barca, what was he giving?

How do I know??! Really??! How don't you know exactly??!...

What are their individual contributions to their respective teams since both players parted??! When was the last time Neymar played a full season without issues??!...

lexy2014:
Since u have been watching laliga in d last two seasons and have been seeing Barca games, then my questions shouldn't be difficult for u to answer:

How is Barca trying to embarrass Messi? Who are d slacking players that needed to be trimmed from d team? If Messi is to be mentoring new entrants to Barca senior team, what then is d job of d coach or is Messi now d coach? What type of mentoring is he going to mentor? What "age long quality" of d club is Messi helping Barca maintain? Is he d one that instituted that "age long quality" or is he as old of d "age long quality"? Who taught Messi d "age long quality" that u say he is going to help Barca maintain?

Okay...

Trimming of that team ought to have started from the defense (Pique, Umtiti, Lenglet)... The entire midfield needs complete fresh legs (meaning only Frenkie De Jong should be left)... Vidal to team B or bench... Coutinho very much has a place there.

Thank God they are getting a mix of skill, pace and experience in Pjanic (He can actually combine well with Coutinho to make Messi more attack centred).

The age long quality of Barcelona is known and seen in their fluidity of ball movements, and near perfect clinical finishes. This is something Messi has been a key and holistic part of in years!!!

Barcelona failing to do the above, has made them drop form terribly, exposing the few hardworkers in the team to collective ridicule!!! See??!

While it's the job of a good coach to mentor, build, and ground players, it is well known that in form veterans inspire and bring out the best in younger players!!!

Now, I believe your questions have been addressed... I'm quite curious to know why you seem intent to downplay Messi's impact...

Note, that I'm not a fan of Messi or Ronaldo, or individual players.

GboyegaD:
She has done well however, I am not so sure we should continue celebrating this act since honesty should be a watchword for every individual.

Precisely... Besides, it's not even like she could have gotten away with spending or retaining it. Except the owner chose not to pursue it.

lexy2014:
Would Messi play football forever?

Nope... Not at all.

Everyone is dispensable eventually... But, he has at the very least 2 great seasons left in him! Don't you know his current value??! Is it exactly equal to Neymar or any other player currently??!...

See, as much as Barca will eventually move on from Messi, it certainly won't be by exchanging him for a Neymar who won't give up to half of what an aging Messi would in an entire season.

Players improve players by example... This is a football fact.
If you are asking the above questions then you either haven't been watching La Liga in the last 2 seasons, or you just don't see Barca games.

Take a look at Real Madrid since Zidane returned (before and currently), and understand that Barca should have toed that very same path at least 2 seasons ago.

lexy2014:
Y did u say that? Is it impossible or is anything wrong with his suggestion?

Everything is wrong with it... Who is Neymar to be in a position to be exchanged for Messi??! On what particular grounds or basis??!

What has Neymar done in football in the last 5 years compared to Messi??!... Even PSG will never think up such a ridiculous thing. Honestly, no club would... Neymar will not even find such a joke amusing!!!

fartfact:
PSG come chop belleful against Bayern,neymar no go see ball play.I must play am Bayern to win both half or give PSG 3goals and Bayern go still win.if I'm no play I go wear cloth sleep

Boss, you make sense sha... But, I need to see Bayern next game before predicting.

This football thing ehn, na small thing dey make giant turn dwarf o...

Anything fit happen on Sunday.

joyandfaith:
it good he was not sanctified because that decision has helped barca so much with many records since neymar left. 8 +2=10

Please, analyze football like a grown up...

Messi is not the cause of Barca's current woes... Rather, Barca is basically trying to embarrass the legend.

The club should have had the foresight to trim that team of slacking players at least 2 seasons ago... If they had even started bringing through academy quality, it would have made more sense. Messi would have mentored them, and helped the club maintain the age long quality they have always been known for.

So, I really don't get this your Neymar comparison or argument.

frankmoney:
Exchange Neymar for Messi now

Exchange what??!... Are you drunk, drinking, or sleepwalking??!

Thenorth:
PSG vs Bayern Munich
on Sunday...
that's indeed a game to watch

A very entertaining final to look forward to... Two very worthy opponents.

I honestly can't see Bayern losing to PSG... Then again, I equally don't see PSG rolling over like Barca.
