Koeman

I'm calling BS on these tweets and reports tbh

I mean i don't think its a coincidence that a day after Koeman reportedly told Suarez to leave that Messi tells Barca he wants to leave. If I recall too early rumors stated the meeting between Messi and Koeman didn't go well

I dont blame Koeman for taking a strong and strict stance but it likely has caused their greatest player to decide to leave

Imagine choosing between Story and two Oil money clubs ......

According to @GerGarciaGrova, some directors have asked Bartomeu to resign and some others have resigned themselves. Go to bed, he will start training on monday.

It's almost like he's been feeling lonely and lost in La Liga since Cristiano left

Doubt Koeman has anything to do with this. It probably has more to do with the president saying publicly which players they want to sell (including Suarez), than hypothetical meetings with a new coach.

Messi tiene básicamente dos opciones:

Seguir en un proyecto ganador como el PSG o el City.

Empezar su retirada en un equipo inferior como LA Galaxy, Vissel Kobe, Al-Assad o el Inter de Milán.

Throwing dat shade

Meh , honestly biggest clown on twitter

Not even hilarious

you are only saying that because he mercilessly trolled Inter during those Modric transfer talks

I don't say it for  that Modric deal.
at that period banter made sense.

But we 're talking about a man who 's still obsessed from Inter , so everything 's a tweet  about Inter ( because if you act as a clown on twitter you've followers, fanbase, you've built interations on it ) . Frankly boring and tiring, I'd say it even if it had to with Juve or Milan. I just find boring these clowns

Thing is, if Bart goes and Messi is back in charge, how does the squad renew itself? Is Messi really going to fire Suarez and Vidal? Would this actually be a positive outcome for Barca as a club and for the fans?

Even if elections are called they're not going to happen before the transfer season is over.

trending in Germany: Brüste

I still don’t think he’ll go anywhere, if not back to Argentina. And the unanswerable discussion around him definitely being able to adapt and dominate in any country, league and club will prevail.

He has said Argentina is too unsafe and he wont return there.

Agreed. Whatever the outcome, the club is royally screwed. Koeman is taking the punches, and by the looks of it he is not here to win trophies, or have any personal gain, but to restart this club. I can only admire his attitude so far. Someone had to do this shitty job

He said that? That leaves few options then. My money’s on him staying after Bartolomeu has resigned. I suppose there’s also the option of MLS, which is closer to home for him. Italy makes sense, as I imagine his family would settle down quite smoothly there compared to France and England, but where would Inter or Juventus get the money from? AC Milan doesn’t even seem a little bit realistic.

Yeah agreed. I doubt he knew it would be this hard this soon either, but honestly this stems from Bart not resigning after the 8-2

"Im worried about the safety"
"You can get killed over a watch."
“There are robberies everywhere and you cannot even walk down the street because you have to watch out over whether something happens"
“I know there are a lot more problems in Argentina but safety is essential.”
"I hope (...) kids playing on the street like I did, something which I know will never happen again".

He is not going to put his sons and wife in that situation. He is never going back.

Koeman

Koeman = Van Gaal . A Dutch manager who causes an epuration of South-American players looks like a Culè tradition.

"Ronald Koeman is the Hitler of Argentinian players"

Barca responded to messi via fax as well, telling him they want him to continue and to end his career at barca

ÚLTIMA HORA | Informa @SiqueRodriguez

El Barcelona responde a Messi con otro burofax, donde le deicen que quieren que continúe y que termine su carrera deportiva en el Barça pic.twitter.com/soKBco1vus

I'm sure he will be impressed

So this fax exchanges as BC said, have legal value, probably documents redacted by Lawyers with notarial seals and stuff.

Barcelona are not going to let Messi walk, they are not ready for it. They are also going to fight his claim about leaving for free, that's not happening

He should stay or just front run at city for a few years then go back to Argentina. Letting the MLS have Messi would be a disgrace to the sport and a legacy killer.

CONFIRMED: Messi is hurt by the thought of Suarez leaving. They were close friends and often used to sleep together @TyCSports #FCB pic.twitter.com/GHRsAgX0Vz

Pause.

I'm sure they mean that they were roommates when Barca traveled

But yeah Bart fucked up by firing Suarez in public without a man-to-man, that's not what you do with a club legend regardless of whether he is Messi's friend
