Getting Messi
Comments

Imagine if Messi went to Arsenal.
They could certainly afford him. Ozil was 350k a week?
If he went Arsenal...it would make them so much money.
The league's failures would be rising back to the top in a number of ways.
Revenue would jump...players would perform out if their skin and would once again have belief.1 -
And then have their fans on his back the moment he doesnt hit the ground running no doubtDave2l said:Imagine if Messi went to Arsenal.

Plus you'd never heard the end of it from them1 -

Zero chance he signs for a club not in the champions league and who can't compete for a league title. If we think he has perhaps 3 years left at the top then he won't be wasting those years. Otherwise he'd stay at Barca.2 -
If he signs for Man City, they could genuinely be a good shout for winning the treble next season. If they got a CB, heard they were interested in Koulibaly, and Messi then no other team stands a chance

Oh yeh, forgot about champions League.
Only one answer really. Has to either be Liverpool, city, United, Chelsea.
Most likely just PSG though. They probably tick most of his boxes. Even if it would be a bit dull.0 -
Think it depends on Messi's mentality, PSG would suit no doubt if his main aim is to win the CL, the league is a joke and he would have plenty of breaks during the season but I think Messi might want to play in a more competitive league, he still has a couple of seasons in him playing at the very top level so could see the appeal of the Premier League, PSG might suit Ronaldo better.
Suppose it all depends if he can go on a free or not0 -
I really hope Ronaldo doesn't go to PSG. Ligue 1 is beneath him.0
-
I would like to see Messi in Serie A. Follows Ronaldo there, potentially brings success back to one of the Milan teams and the chance of breaking Juve's title dominance? Would do a lot to help his claim to Greatest Of All Time.0

Having Messi in the Premier League is one of the few things that would make me interested in that league again.3

Imagine if we draw them in the FA Cup though.
Would never imagine Charlton playing against Messi.0 -

This has to be some of the most outrageous clickbait I've seen yet from TalkSport. Some source that...5 -
Imagine Danny mills trying to mark Messi out of a game

What a depressingly apt nomenclature for the modern game.1 -
He gets paid for this?MattF said:1 -
Yeah Danny, I reckon he'll go to Leeds. Righto...hahaha!1

Seriously. A fax is a legal document and is faster than a letter.killerandflash said:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53911105
The Argentina international, 33, sent a fax to the club on Tuesday saying he wishes to exercise a clause in his contract, allowing him to leave for free with immediate effect.
Seriously?3 -
Also a lot more secure in transit than email. Potential issues with security at either end, mind (might leave the document lying around in an office, might not shred it afterwards) but the above is the exact reason faxes are still in use.AddicksAddict said:

Yeah I've struggled to find the humour in Messi using a fax machine
Arent they still used during the Transfer Windows?1 -
Find it depressing that many clubs are in the shit like Bury, wigan, us and countless others yet rolling sky sports news is all about Messi and will Manchester City's oil barons pip the other oil barons to sign him for £100m pa salary.
It's perverse.
I have absolutely no doubt that we and any club outside of the sky luvvies could go out of business and it would cause little more than a ripple for a couple of days, if that, before the sky circus resumed with this nonsense to feed those who lap it all up.
Really going off football. It's rancid with all these dodgy takeovers and hundred plus year old clubs on the verge of extinction left right and centre yet the voice of football is focussing on this wank.
Game has been stolen and sold away. Rotten.5 -
Football peaked in the 90s.
Less trouble than the 70s and 80s, professional but not to the nth degree like now, still a fun mix of shite cloggers and great players, foreigners were exotic, going to matches was still affordable, a game on TV was still rare enough (was it one a week on a Sunday?) to be a big thing.
The money in the game going up and up since has ruined it.
I'm well aware I'm inviting a ton of responses telling me why it was better in the 60s, 70s etc.2 -
Thinking about it, was it one on Sunday afternoon and one on Monday evening?

A move to Man City is ultimately going to be money driven. I think Liverpool are going to have to change their style a little. Teams were starting to work out how to play them. I can see Man Utd being up there.1

Yeah I'm about halfway through that, started late- very good, and a Curbs episode!RodneyCharltonTrotta said:

The 90s was a good time. Fanzine culture had taken off and football started becoming mainstream again - Fantasy Football on TV culminating in Euro 96North Lower Neil said:Football peaked in the 90s.

And while the loss of some terraces was a shame, overall the new stands and grounds transformed football as an experience1
