That's what modern footie requires. Competitions get tougher every season and so do rival clubs. €41m is on the high though, considering his age and all. Hope he makes a positive addition though

Welcome to Barca Arda

And that modern footie requires that the younger ones be ignored even when they are not playing badly?

ddippset:
hahahaha. A very funny world we live in. If he had collected, I swear Krasid here would have said Sanchez or Vidal deserved the award not Messi. I swear!

Na una dey mind the guy. He must be a comedian really.

Johnpaul88:
I didn't even see a single match in that copa America.
ARG has all it takes to win the competition from defence to attack. Why they don't win remains a baffle to me. I remember Hugain won them one match but I hear he missed a sitter yesterday. Tevez may not be their solution because they have all they need in that pitch. I cannot tell what holds them back.

Maradona played with very good players who also. Acknowledged him as their leader and the best player on the pitch. They therefore played with him and and ensured he got the ball as often as possible.

But, Messi played with players who constantly wanted to show they are better on the field. Di Maria, Lavezzi, pastore would rather prefer to dribble 3-4 players than pass the ball back to Messi even when he's better placed. Messi passes the ball to them when they are free but they fail to replicate such gesture. Everyone wanted to prove a point and hence their failure.

May the Lord deliver us from every spirit of Higuain at the alter of success.

Oh Lord, every Higuian sent to my life to kill my dream at the alter of success, let them die before I start taking a step!

ddippset:
hopefully higuain will be retired by then!

Don't you think Messi is even too gentle ni? Can Higuain try that rubbish with CR7? hm team mate score self, the guy vex talkless of missing great chance. I swear Ronaldo for don slap the bastards and promise never to honour NT call again as long as he's also invited.

Such a useless bad luck player!

Argentina lost again! This is ridiculous!

How would a coach even bring Higuain to a tournament?

Krasid:
South american players are known to decline earlier than their european counterparts.Messi will be finished by the time he hits his early 30's, CR would probably play well till he's 36.

Zaneti is an exception right?

Tw Zabaleta (Man City): "10 years ago we won U20 World Cup in the Netherlands. Great memories!!!!" [@pablo_zabaleta] http:///XrUSiuZjI0



Messi is about doing what he did ten years ago. And some people would say he never did anything for his country.

jimmy4x:
Lol, bro, just visit Chelsea's thread....u go weep for Hazard , Wetin Raumdeuter and Debroslink dey even liken am to Pius ikedia, Joe Cole, Ahmed Musa and Denilson, they keep saying he's not better than them that he has only managed to score 7 UCL goals since he joined Chelsea and as such he's a failure.
that Muller, James, Pogba, Neymar and Bale are miles ahead and way better than him.


They will come here and tell you, he's useless for Belgium, like Ronaldo is bossing Portugal
they will tell you he has no UCL, he made PSG and atletico defeated Chelsea, he has no WC and that Muller, Gotze and all the other guys have won those trophies except him, hence he's useless and just a local champion, abeg, shey na one player they win trophies for team abi d whole team doing things right.

Heck, Hazard won a penalty and scored against PSG, which other attacker scored, is he also expected to go defend at the back against Luiz and Silva, didn't we all see how Terry and Cahill disgraced themselves??

How's that hazards fault.

I would never call Hazard a useless player for whatever reason. He's a very good player and has better days ahead of him. But he can only rub shoulder with Neymar whom I believe is still ahead of him.

Krasid:
Spare me the excuses.He scored 4 goals in the WC(just 2 behind the top scorer) playing in this deep position, didn't he? He has gotten a few chances in this tourney but hasn't taken it.

Hmmmmm....maybe your god would have score more than 3 hat-tricks since that's the only to measure his performance. oops, he's yet to drag his country to any finals.

jimmy4x:
God bless u, the argument is about why people chuz to tag Hazard a failure and local champion (even when he made impact and was very influential in his teams success this season and even won the league's best player) because he doesn't score much goals like Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar, totally ignoring the other key qualities he brings to the team....do you think its right??

.....and how many posts have you read on this thread about Hazard being tagged a failure? I doubt if there's any.

Mcleo007:
Those players should begrateful to have been brought down flat by the great one. I tell you, many would kill to switch positions with them. History would remember them for this!

This is so funny really!

Debroslink:
What will become the fate of haters and critics if Messi wins Copa America?

What will be their next words of hate? Does the guy need a world Cup trophy to still cement his status as the G. O.A.T?

They(Krasid and co) would say he did not score hat-trick in the tournament.

philfearon:
So Pogba don become Barca boy now..
That's kul.By the time he finally joins,Iniesta would have gotten an able replacement.

But do you buy the idea of spending £80m+ on him? What's then the fate of the likes of Rafinha?

Hello cules, all these news(rumours) about Pogba coming to Barca, hope Lucho is in support sha? Because I seem not to have read anything about his approval.

Austeenx:
Tata Martino is the coach, they might end up losing in the final. Have you forgotten that the man's surname is Almost?

Lol.... he almost lost to Colombia.

ddippset:
Brazil out! No disrespect to Chile and Paraguay but this is Argentina and Messi's best chance to exorcise the demons and win this Copa America.

I fear for Argentina really, they have not been doing well at all in front of goal, scoring just a goal is an herculean task for them and I fear if they can get pass Chile with that.

Terver23:
I don't think so..The only raw talent I see is S. Samper and he's not ready yet.
Sergio Roberto is too slow and not sharp

And what happens to players like Suarez, Rafinha and Halilovic? Should they just be allowed to leave like Thiago? These players are good if given enough playing time.

Terver23:
I never compared any one to xavi,Xavi is gone we need a replacement for him

There are many players in house that can serve as replacement rather than spending unnecessarily.

Terver23:
arda turan
Paul pogba
marcos verrati
iborra
gundogan
which of this players do you feel will fill in for xavi better?

None of them (no one) can fill in for Xavi, each of them can only come with their own package!

dmcdad:
Yeah I know. The thing just use style fear me sha. I sharply look the name of the thread wey i enter.

I dey think say na only me oooo. I check the thread name more than five times.

Happy birthday to the greatest player in football. May you live to fulfil your potentials to the fullest.

AjanleKoko:
I doubt we will buy Pogba.
Enough big clubs are after him. Not to mention that Juve will be getting the biggest UCL payday, despite not winning, so they will have enough cash to even buy a few of our players if they want this term

That would be great really. His coming may unsettle the team, he can't be put on the bench, and I don't see Iniesta on the bench at least for now.
Let's give room for the guys from La Masia to prove their worth.

marqueetim:
Which players do you think should be the three midfielders behind the untouchable 'MSN' if we sign Pogba and Gundogan. List of our Midfielders would be: Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic, Rafinha, Sergi Roberto, Pogba, Gundogan and Denis Suarez if he is recalled from Sevilla this summer.

Why do we need to spend a fortune on Pogba when there are many homegrown players who are very good if given enough playing time. Whay happens to players like Suarez, Halilovic, Rafinha, Roberto, samper and co?

Happy married life to Pedrito!

Nice seeing baba Puyol with the boys.
Congratulations to Pedro.

homesteady:
Like seriously? the linesman did that? No wonder Alves was complaining that they all hate Brazil!
This Conmebol people are just stupid! they gave Neymar a 4 match ban!
From what I saw in the highlight I watched, the shot did not look intentional! Neymar was already in motion to kick the ball before the ref blew the whistle! They said he wanted to headbutt someone, but I didn't see it in the video!
This South American refs should be ashamed of themselves, why are they allowing the games to be so physical? is it war they are fighting?

So Neymar is out of the tournament? That's serious really.

dmcdad:
Laporta: "I love Messi. He is like my son. He makes Barca win and he knows how to humiliate teams. You know, THAT team!"

@emboldened, Neymar humiliates players, while Messi humiliates teams. Yet, na Neymar them dey accuse.

Lol

ddippset:
To be sincere Messi does it competitively and seriously while Neymar does it playfully and mockingly. That's why they get mad at Neymar. For instance, Messi nutmegs you and goes straight to score, while Neymar nutmegs and and probably tries to come round you again. LOL. make I talk true Neymar does his to embarrass opponents. But I enjoy it a lot, maybe because I am on his side.

Jay jay did it to catch fun, Dinho did it to entertain fans, Messi does it to get result. Whichever way you do it bro, as long as it's never a law not to do it, I don't see any big deal in it. You are only penalised for committing offence on the pitch and not to show the stuff you are made off. Remember CR7 vs Ashely Cole in Euro then? We all applauded him as many have said he could never dribble one of the best defenders then.

philfearon:
I guess because A country is losing a war,their fighters/warriors should be pitied nonetheless by the winning country!
I use to think that Messi was the most kicked player until Neymar came to Barca.Heck,there was even one the nigga left the ball and maliciously went and kicked Neymar...what did he get? a pat in the back by the referee!
If I am Neymar,I will make sure I continue disgracing those reta.rds till they learn how to show respect...
If common sense(even though its not common) were to be applied,when is the best time to show off Ur skills? is it when the pressure of the match is on every one and no one wants to make silly mistake to gift the opponent opportunity? or when u have less Pressure on u?
Neymar dey pity them self..I guess he is still afraid.....Take them on,delete them; whichever skill is available, use it and destroy them.. You didn't get to your level by pitying opponents... Useless them...Most Europeans are always Jealous cuz they can't dribble or showcase skills like the South Americans(Iniesta is an exception)..

Bro, thanks for this.
We still all cherish Okocha till today just because of those skills even though he didn't win much. Everyone talks about 'Dinho because of those exceptional skills he used to entertain us with irrespective of the scoreline. I could remember a player got injured when dribbled by Iniesta two seasons ago. So why the fuss about Neymar entertaining the fans after the game is won. The guy never start self, make dem go get ready.

marqueetim:
Fellow barca fans, Neymar don't just do that he makes gestures too. You can read about the atletico match in the CDR, that was why Juanfran mocked him with the 7-1. In essense he is expected to get to the top first before doing that. Many captains and coaches will not vote him for ballon d'or if he continues drawing the hatred of the opposition.

I am not sure you watched some of our matches against the likes of Athletico Madrid, Bilbao where Neymar was kicked form start to finish without the refs doing anything. If you did, maybe you would have gotten an answer. I guess he's still human with blood running through his veins. Hence the gestures.

dmcdad:
Abi oooooo. I brought the "go-down-low" case up and he turned a blind eye to it. The one Di Maria did to Puyol. Was he ever criticised? Na wa ooooo. People can be hypocritical sha.

I can still Remeber how haters used it against us for long. Some even said na d skill retire baba and we no vex. Make dem leave the boy alone jere.

dmcdad:
Exactly! And frankly, Enrique f**k up to blame Neymar publicly. No matter what, you must protect your star players as much as possible. Things like that dey make players feel valued, not just about increasing one's wages.

Lucho f**k up really, but I want to believe he only did it to calm the situation. And the fact is, Neymar is not done yet. They'd rather get used to it because they are gonna see more of the guy's skills as he gets better with age.
