On paper Bochum have made some decent additions to the team. Fingers crossed they can keep the momentum of the second half of last season up.

They however all got 12 days at home only 3 weeks before the season due to a positive corona test in the camp.

Messi has told Barca he wants to leave. 

 

If Congerton wants to prove himself, now is the time

I'm hearing Birmingham are the favourites.

Has it been confirmed?

 

So Messi wants to go and they're letting Suarez go?

Correct!

[Dan LCFC]

Livid I didn't pile on Real Madrid to win La Liga. As near a banker as you'll get now.

 

Would be such a letdown if he ended up at PSG.

Messi isn't going anywhere, it'll get SSN excited for a bit but his buyout clause is ridiculous and unaffordable, probably get more power or whatever he wants from now on.

It seems the clause that he is activating is for a free transfer. Imagine the wages he will be asking for. 

[RonnieTodger]

This is going to be unbearable. All the freaks at Sky Sports News and fake ITKs will be wanking themselves into a coma 

[Samilktray]

Only place in Europe I could see him going was Inter

Plus all the AnnounceMessi shite from every club in this country on Twitter.

[RowlattsFox]

He will probably stay. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go Asia, even of it is a bit early. Xavi still managing out there? 

 

Very few will pay the wages he would want..

[Manini]

Reckon he’d take a pay cut to go and play in Argentina? 
 

I genuinely can’t imagine him playing for anybody other than Barca. 

[AKCJ]

Would love to get excited but this is a clear effort to get rid of Bartomeu.

There's been noise before about him going back to Newell's Old Boys. Might happen in a couple of years.

Isn’t that Bielsa’s old club? He’s basically god over there imagine the scenes for them if he went back and Messi signed.

Messi joining Ronaldo at Juventus would make a great ending for a film one day. 

 

But yeah, it won't happen. 

[StanSP]

He's already signed thanks to Agent Albrighton

 

 

Agent Vardy sealed the deal

 

Agent Wes already tatted him up:

 

[StanSP]

[spacemunky]

Really can't imagine Messi playing with another team.

 

Hope if he does actually leave, it's not to PSG.

[Zear0]

End up at Palace as he's a fan of the kit. 

[Leicester_Loyal]

He's just doing this to get rid of board members I reckon. He's forcing change at the club. I can't ever see him leaving.

[RonnieTodger]

I hope he stays just so that this insufferable twat has been scrambling around for nothing
