This is mental haha. Messi was so close to joining Chelsea in 2014!

It’s every top players dream, growing up, to play for Chelsea
After watching them on TV as a kid, playing in front of crowds of 20k, watching the players in blue sliding around in the mud in front of their magnificent stand, called the Shed, I’m sure Messi thought to himself, that’s the club for me.

Fucking lol. What a load of shit.

Mourinho’s living room becomes the theatre of a candle-lit aperitif where the two exchange flirtatious looks and goo goo eyes.

To be fair, Griezmann does seem like a bit of a dick with all of his stupid fortnite celebrations.

Probably wouldn’t have a lot of time for him either if he came in with that shit and also an attitude where he thought he was the dogs bollocks.

Tbf there’s a bit more too him than that though.

There is but if Messi is a serious, sober, no-nonsense kind of footballer which he comes across as, then I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t tolerate that kind of nonsense.

Messi was proven right not to want him because Griezmann has been shite since arriving, doesn’t suit the team and should never have been signed.

Him and Suarez wanted Neymar and you can see why.

Tough it doesn’t work like that.

Is that not the same thing that happened with ibra

I wonder where all these stories were when Neymar a literal diva used to play in Griezmann’s position.

I am quite sure Messi gives shit to expensive players who are not performing to his level, like Sanchez used to be pissed at our shitters.

Yes. When Ibrahimovic arrived Messi apparently said to Pep (after a couple of months) that he wanted to play centrally. After that things went south between Ibra/Pep, according to his biography that is.

IIRC Messi also supposedly bullied Alexis Sanchez.

Son Heung-min is the type of player Barcelona should have gone for. He’s someone whose bread and butter is making runs in behind and plays on the left.

Instead they go for Coutinho who likes the ball to feet and wants to receive the ball in the #10 space. They go for Griezmann who is best behind a striker or in Messi’s area.

Yep either that or a proper #9 but tbh there’s very few floating around at the ideal age and requisite quality.

Given the decision making at Barcelona the last few years, maybe we can convince them that Lacazette would be the right purchase at the low low price of €50m, what a steal
