He's 34. Come on Bro. How many geezers do you want on the team?

Would he accept a 1+1 contract? :boh:
He probably would. That's why he's a better option IMO. Fits better with Ronaldo and Dybala and we don't have to spend big money up front or over a long contract. We can work on finding a real top #9 in the meantime.

Guys, if Messi is available and willing, even for 1 season - we cannot say no. Dybala or whomever either plays better than him and Messi eats bench deservedly or he doesn't. Those two players here - it would be like gravity - everyone else would be one step closer. Popularity through the roof, commercial deals too. That is without winning a damn thing.

LM10 - CR7 ffs

Fuck Messi. We're not giving him the number 10, unless Dybala approves. If Dybala refuses, Messi can choose any other number. We're not sellouts or a plastic club.

Depends what you consider 'plastic'. Best player wears number 10 in Italy and Messi is objectively better than Dybala. Let's hope by the end of next season that is not the case, but very slim chance of that happening imho. Dybala deserves number 10 here, but not in Argentina NT?

Besides Dybi would be a 9, if we play him with CR7 and Messi. I mean along with being a sub. He might also be sold for massimo ('culo') plusvalenza... :soapit:

Messi is definitely not Messi from 10 years ago, but damn are people deluded to not see he is the main reason Barcelona are competitive at all.

Messi is the better player - only a fool would deny that. However, giving a 34 year old Messi the number 10 jersey for one or two seasons is like shitting on our history and legacy as a proud club. Messi can wear number 10 for his country, but there's no way we should just give it to him because he's Messi. We're not City or PSG.

This is one funny ass post, yeah let's not give a top 3 player in the history of the game the number 10 jersey because that would be bad for our prestige.

Top 5 Bro. And yes, I stand by what I said. He's a great player and a Barca legend, but if he does join us, we'll be getting Messi at the tail end of his career, not the all conquering Messi of yesteryear.

We gave Pogba the jersey, so I'm afraid that ship has already sailed.

Can't belive people rate 27 years old Dybala like he is still wonderkid and he us already the best he can be , rate more then Messi.

Messi is not concidering Juve , it is not attractive option in any scenario.

He stays , but if something happens he will go to City.

3% chance for that.

All of fans would give money to see Messi in Juve, and some think Dybala who is not even regullar starter should be in front of Messi.
