TRC Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Shola is out of contract at the end of the season. Great deal that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Barcelona can buy anyone they want anyway I would think. Plus if not they always have the power to declare interest and make the player want to leave his current club. However,seeing Messi play on a cold,wet and windy night in Stoke would probably be one of the football finest moments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 On 06/02/2014 at 17:21, HTT said: Barcelona should look to cash in on Messi, I know he's the best player in the world etc. but they can still be a great team without him and even a better one with the right kind of players. I don't think they could get anyone to grab the number of goals he scores nor is there anyone in their side capable of scoring such a number of goals, but Barcelona have not been successful because they have the world's top goalscorer in their side. They have been successful because as an 11 they have been brilliant with great players throughout. Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol and even Valdes have been just as instrumental as Messi has been. Of course Messi is the star man, but in my lifetime Barcelona have always had the best players and always won stuff. They can carry on succeeding without Messi. Messi himself should come to the Premier League, he won't score as many as he has done in Spain, but he'll become an even better player. Of course, if he fancies playing for the mighty Toon he would be more than welcome... If Suarez can go 1 for 1 so could Messi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 HTT always had a bit of a screw loose but he's finally just lost the plot completely. Cash in on the greatest footballer of all time at the age of 26. I've heard it all now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually only read HTT when his posts are a page long with a million billion paragraphs then it's usually an interesting read. Anything less and he's out for a giggle.

Ashton was a better footballer than Torres though. Note not better finisher, not better goalscorer but a better footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash in on the greatest footballer of all time at the age of 26. I've heard it all now. Of all time? Debatable, massively debatable. Its not like I'm saying they need to get rid because he's s*** now btw, I just feel they are the one club capable of losing someone like Messi and still win things and play great football and if anything it could open the door for others to star. The problem with people on here, or rather some on here, is that there is literally no thinking outside of the box. Sell Messi, what, are you f***ing crazy? What, Dean f***ing Ashton, a better footballer than Torres? f*** off! Imagine if Fergie decided to stick with Ince, Kanchelskis, Beckham etc... Barca over the years have lost Ronaldo, Figo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho to name a few and they continue to replace them and win stuff. They are the epitome of a club far bigger than any player.

Mr. Snrub Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Also went 6 years without winning the league late 90s til mid 00's, finishing as low as 6th at one point. Not much substance to that post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Less space? Not at all. Quicker league would allow Messi more space to operate in not less. Tougher defenders doesn't mean better.

Howay man the space in La Liga is unreal, almost every player from abroad who comes here stresses how little time they get on the ball and with it how little space there is. A quicker league means Messi would have to play at an even quicker tempo and pace. Some of the best players in the game in recent years have struggled at first with the pace and tempo of our league. Regardless, the PL is regarded as the best league in the world and while I personally don't quite subscribe to that, it is surely the toughest and most demanding and would improve the game of any player!? The Premier League may be dominated by the same old same old clubs but games are more often than not very competitive. Would the 8th place side in La Liga beat the champions away from home? Messi for me wouldn't get the number of goals he gets in Spain here, but his game would improve even more which I know sounds ridiculous given just how great his all-round game already is. Anyway I do hope we get to see him in our league some day, although sadly I doubt it will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
