Messi

[awesome dawson]

Couldn't find his own thread (mods feel free to merge) which is a sign of how Barca centric his career has been but he’s a free agent now it seems. Could see him going to Italy, France or England. Surely when you’re him money no longer needs to be the only driver.

Son Kane Messi has a good look about it.

Would be decent cover for Kane.

 

[Gazza]

Just wont be as tidy

Anything other than teaming up with Ronaldo at Juve will be a disappointment

I think Juve play the FFP game too ‘fairly’ these days, for that kind of business.

He is ok i suppose but where would we play Bale?

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

It would eclipse everything. But there's zero chance.

We'd finally have the only player in the world capable of controlling a Sissoko pass. This signing wouldn't just give us the greatest player of all time, it's make Sissoko look like Modric. Make it happen Daniel.

But he isn't a natural goal scorer, according to Tim Einstein Sherwood.

That phrase always amuses me - it paints goalscoring as some primeval human instinct that existed 200,000 years ago in the mists of pre-history, where, even long before football, cavemen were instinctively volleying hedgehogs between trees for reasons they couldn't explain.

Checked his YouTube highlights reel. Looks really good.

But then again, these things can be made to make anyone look Iike an absolute worldbeater.

Needs more scouting I’d suggest.

 

[NoLimits01]

Too old
No resale
Too short, can’t defend the near post
Doesn’t track back
Not particularly fast, may have lost a yard of pace
Too one footed
YT highlights reel is ok I guess

Let’s face it guys, he ain’t gonna fit that DM role

 

[IulianSteaua]

Did we sign him yet?

I also prefer Ajer from Celtic.
