I dont think he is in reality…everyone seems so happy for him in the COPA, everyone of his ex teamates seem to appreciate him AFAIK
the word cancer is really agressive (i admit ive used the saying before but its pretty unthoughtful as well)
i think, (without any real evidence, just observation from afar) i would certainly go along with the narative that he was so god like at Barca that the dressing room had to bend to his will…i mean, its Lionel Messi…and its Barca…i dont think anyone could expect less…the manager himself would know that walking into the job, that whatever tactic he wanted to employ, messi could at anytime say what he wanted contrary to the coaches instruction and the team would listen
might not have that complete luxuary at a new club.
whatever it is, i agree, the dynamic wouldnt fit in at LFC
Are we being snobs again? A whole cohort was in favor of bringing Suarez back but Messi? No, fuck him, loser, wanker, cancer etc etc. Smacks of the people who go to wildlife parks and say ‘I don’t wanna see the big five because it’s what everyone else wants and I’m too cool for that’
Not that I have any expectation whatsoever that he will come here, just an observation and opinion on my part.
It’s not the same thing though is it? He’s obviously one of the greatest ever but Messi has no (good) history here, doesn’t press and would obliterate our wage structure and focus on the team
Messi is genuinely not a good fit for this Klopp team.
amazing footballer, GOAT for me, but a 32/33 year old GOAT who would disrupt the way everything is set up here from a financial and playing perspective.
Imagine we have become so discerning that we would turn down Messi joining Liverpool. Like we are all privvy to how he behaves or what sort of contract he would command.
“He would disrupt the dressing room”. Would he? Or would he be like Zlatan or Cavani at Utd, a season or two of sheer quality. I doubt it would ever happen, but I would think adding him (or better still, Suarez) on a season contract would be a no brainer.
If Klopp thought it was a good idea I would imagine it would work out.
