Suarez has absolutely been an unqualified success.

E. nvm "end of" is a pretty vague term.

I always feel there's something missing if he doesn't play. He just works super well with Messi.

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

Yeah but his very liberal use of the term "end of the 2014 transfer window" means that Suarez isn't included

Funny as hell I could hear Betis fans yell when Inter scored but now they're so quiet for some reason...

marca has been hinting at this for a week now but now ESPN is saying the "club has confirmed" that Messi has asked out.

Koeman is in big trouble. Think he stepped into a doomed season.

The board probably thinks it can't get any worse (they will likely resign/be forced out this week even if they are still trying to keep it together) for them but wait til next year when everyone continues to blame them for barca going a month without scoring a goal. Bartomeu will go down as the worst.

lol I dont even care if this is true or not but Marca is saying that Messi was mad that Koeman told him:

quote:

There was one particular phrase the report has cited which is said to have left Messi somewhat furious."The privileges in this squad are over, you have to do everything for the team," Koeman reportedly declared."I'm going to be inflexible; you must only be thinking about the team."

It was such a show of authoritarianism that Messi took exception to, especially with his relationships with coaches at Barcelona having generally not been that way throughout his career.What has followed is even further disruption to the idea that Messi will sign a contract extension at the Camp Nou, with several of his close friends and team-mates being told they can leave.

It's not gonna happen but Juve should really sign him to forever resolve the question of whether Messi and Ronaldo can play together

This would own but Dybala having to sit on the bench because of Messi again would make me very sad

I just hope he doesn't end up with a poo poo team like PSG or a PL team that isn't Liverpool. Would hate to root against the little man.

Well they never did say he was sacked in the press release, just that he’s no longer the first team coach.
