Messi gets way too much protection in La Liga. You're not allowed to touch him, not even in a girls league like that. When he does get an inj there's a national outcry.
They'd break his fucking legs the moment he started any of his skipping shit. Playing for Barca in such a dominant side in a league packed with shit bar the top 4/5 half this forum could do it.
Would have waited till the summer. Players coming back and Laudrup is too exciting to jettison like this. They seem over freaked by non-existent relegation fears imo.
