OJEEMAH:
if Iniesta, Xavi, Neymar, Suarez, Pedro, Busquet all played as a team, what stopped Coutinho, Dembele & Greizmann from doing same?

No real tactics how? This tactics won them 3 UCL(2009, 2011 & 2015) and as many La liga title as possible. Clueless?

And what do you mean, they don’t know what to do in opposition final third when Neymar shared UCL Top Scorer playing with Messi in 2015.

Suarez won European Golden Boot playing with Messi in 2015. You and I do not know better than Xavi & Laporta that wanted him back.

From what I read, Xavi wanted him to be his chief playmaker. He was going to operate full time as a midfielder. football did not start in Pedri’s era.

Pedro, Busquet, Ansu Fati succeeded.

How old was Pedri when Messi left?

Someone that just graduated from La masia shortly before Messi’s exit.

Did Messi stop Barcelona academy from producing players?

Bartomeu prefer to buy instead of giving youngsters opportunity to develop. Messi had nothing to do with this.

Pedro played his best football with Messi
Busquet played his best football with Messi
Ansu Fati played his best with Messi

If the club abandon La masia graduates. The then president should be blamed cos if wanted to develop and promote them, he wouldn’t have spent crazy amounts on Coutinho, Dembele, Griezmann, Pjanic and others

The coach would also promote them to join the first team training sessions.

Pedri played well under Koeman and Messi was there too. same Suarez that played a pivotal role when ATM won the la liga or which Suarez are you taking about?

Even till date, Busquet and Alba are still balling.

Mention the youngster that would have benched Busquet or Alba at the time?

You really don’t have anything to say than to criticize Messi. Even a harmless move to MLS is still a problem for you. Omo😮
Did he sign his family member or friends? So why was he trying to bring him back?

Think about it.
False The famous line of Ronaldo fans

But he just won the World Cup with youngsters like Enzo and Alvarez mention 3 youngsters that played with Messi and didn’t grow. Messi is bad yet many players at club and national team level are ready to give anything to make sure he wins

£900m will go on top kids who are yet to gain experience

At the start of July Todd Boehly had an estimated net worth of £5.18billion according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index. That was a huge rise from £4.2billion the year before and continues a large and consistent growth for Boehly.

you know what this means 😎

OJEEMAH:
my take on this is simple

Messi is not solely responsible for their financial woes.

Did you consider the recklessness of the former president Bartomeu?

That man wasted about 450-500m to sign Coutinho, Griezmann and Dembele. If you add the huge salaries and allowances those guys were paid, that figure could go as high as 800m

How about selling Arthur for around 60m+ only to waste the money on Pjanic?

President Bartomeu made poor financial decisions.

After Messi’s exit, Barcelona have not been able to cut down their wage bill to meet la liga benchmark.

Laporta released Greizmann, Coutinho and many others but their wages was still more than a 100% that’s why they couldn’t register their new signings at the time cos in la liga you can’t spend more than 70% on salaries and wages.

They tried selling Coutinho but no one was willing to buy cos the transfer fee was too high and his salary was another stumbling block.

Have you also forgotten how Bartomeu abandoned La masia?

Bro, you can’t pin this on Messi alone.

Sorry, I've been a barca fan before Messi came on board.
Now run along, spy.

Jokerman:


Pele, Maradona are better than Messi... We all know that

Neimarjr:


This one is just dy yarn rubbish.

When you're done, Find your way out of here!!

Jokerman:


I'm not a Pessi fan, but this is wrong. Messi carried Barcelona many times. He played with his heart there.

Don't be like the dumb Man utd fans who talk down on CR7, who is still our biggest player ever

Are you ready? 300k tomorrow I come down to Ondo we close deal 🤝

pkasso:
Yes. Note: i said better FINISHER, not GOALSCORER. Harry Kane is also a better all-round player. He MAY not score as many goals as Lewy did, as he is more than a poacher but i trust him to leave his mark. Impact is what matters. With all of Lewy's goals, we only made 1 CL final in 8 seasons. We made 3 in the 5 years before him.

I wanted to ignore but i don't know if you seeking attention or something...

That said,the Messi you're writing an epistle on is no longer with us. Also all you wrote has been sent to the gutters cus Messi won the WC being the best player of the mundial, something your so called clutch Ronaldo et al couldn't.

Now you dug up Mbappe UCL knockout-stats comparing it with Messi's and decided thats one reason he is a fruad ... I would love to see you bring Mbappes calendar year goal record,freekicks scored if he has any, personal medal he has at his current age compared Messi's.

Messi made sure we never played Europa,Messi won us leagues against likes of Madrids with his goals and assist,Messi's brilliance covered many loop holes in our team since 2016, serious played excelled playing with Messi ,Messi never impeded any players growth as you claimed its not his fault most players cant score to save their life,even Mbappe enjoyed his few seasons with Messi guy weytin you say dey scratch you,talk....

Yes i wouldn't deny the fact that his fees were outrageous but man!! RONALDO was being paid high also... and luckly for him he had great players around him till he left Madrid to flop thinking he was the Messiah of Madrid not knowing it was the other way round, while Messi lost his after 2016..its football you know, a team sport not one man game,a tree can't make a forest even if it can not in UCL ask Mbappe how far.


I don't know you,but i bet you'll be a very ungrateful person judging by this post of yours,you ain't a true Barca fan, you're plastic...gosh am so angry i can't even type properly to school you.

How can you compare a player giving 7 times world honor,played when men were men in football, and still schooling the kids of this era to a boy doing well in football with GOAT potentials but not up to GOAT standard SMH...

Kilishihunter:

We were mostly screaming because of the back-to-back Champions League bottlejobs despite having one of the best versions of Messi; what has he done since moving back to Bilbao? Xavi's stubbornness and rigid tactics at times don't justify the hell Valverde put us through on extremely vital champions league nights in 18 and 19
I can't believe a Barça fan is exciting big Valverde in 2023
