Lionel Messi

[Dazzazzad]

I don't agree with and will never get on board with the mindset of elites is basically what I'm saying.

I really don't get the counter argument.

To prove he can do it at a smaller club? If there's anyone with nothing less to prove it's him and he's been playing for almost 2 decades - not a kid with something to prove (although I doubt many people see going down the ladder, in sport or business or anything, as a proving ground - ambition moves in the other direction).

Because fans of a small team will love him more? Maybe but he's such an icon that any club would be excited to have him. And wouldn't that be a weird reason anyway. Like Scarlett Johansson slumming it because it will mean more to date an accountant from Bristol.

Less money. Less chance of winning silverware to cement legacy. Having to do more work on the pitch because he had to carry the team.

Sorry, I don't get it. I get it from the perspective of a supporter. But not from the perspective of Messi.

Every time I look at this thread I see Lional Ritchie

Probably as much a chance at signing him.

All I'm saying is Messi the man that can bring Portsmouth back to glory? We will unfortunately never know. I might actually do a career mode save as messi at portsmouth and see what happens

Lionel picks up the phone and says "Hello, is it me your looking for?"

 

[riggi]

It’s off.

 

[Galahad]

It’s off.

Didn't want him anyway. Too short, too one-footed, doubt he could adapt to the league, doesn't speak language

 

[TheTanguy]

It’s off.

Would've been a decent squad player, but I would rather see us invest in a player that really improves the team.

 

[Danfunkel]

meltdown.

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

Somebody write "Levy Traidor" outside the stadium

Lessons learnt indeed

To be fair Scarlett Johansson is married to a joke writer.

That was where my head was on Thursday, as per:

"FOR GODS SAKE DANIEL!"

"MESSI. Lionel MESSI!!"

Messi holding press conference tomorrow morning at the Nou Camp ?

I’ll admit, I thought that said Live Incest for a moment.

Barcelona are not taking his probable move to PSG lightly. They've lodged a complaint with the European Commission regarding PSG being about to meet Messi's finances. All a bit strange.
