What should be the club's decision on Messi ?

 Lionel Messi declared he wants to leave F.C. Barcelona.

After the absolute shock that it was, Barcelona turned out to be those devils who became hungry for money. They want upwards of 250 million to consider the offer. Are they really that heartless ? A man who served them for nineteen years, now wants to leave and you want to take that decision off him ? Chances are, we might see a legal battle between Messi and Barcelona. This is so heart wrenching to hear. No one should be saying that, but just imagine... That would be the darkest day in the history of F.C. Barcelona. 

There are various factors that we need to consider though...

1. What does he require to stay ?

2. Where will he go ?

3. How will he leave (the contract) ?

1.-  It was previously reported that Messi wanted a good project, along with the resignation of Bartomeu to stay, however, apart from that not happening, he even thinks Koeman is not good enough ! It's heavily reported, that Koeman only told Suarez about beingout of his plans, which angered Leo and moreover, when Messi mentioned this to Koeman, Koeman replied "Your privelages are over", which to me sounds a bit cinematic, a new coach, talking to a player who should be respected and certainly a player admired by himself, this surely is not true...

2.- Many clubs will be interested, but the reports say only Man City can be an option for Messi... Man United contacted him, got a no, he is only focussing on Man City at the moment. Maybe even PSG is an option, who knows ?

3.- This is the most concerning topic. If he leaves on a free, it's all fine, he will depart with dignity, but things will get ugly if Barcelona demand a fee. And a huge one at that. Some reports say he will go on a free, some say around 200 million, some even say 700 million. So, there is a vast number of possibilities. We need to be alarmed. 

That's it..

Barca: A season to forget- Left Wing/ Midfielder

THE PLAYERS- I am not considering Coutinho and Griezmann Left Wingers. 1. Ansu Fati- An  astoundingly ridiculous revelation this season, Ansu Fati will surely be a major part any success we are * hoping * for. His speed and aggressiveness is always channeled and timed well. He can create something out of very little. This is the quality we were craving for, and we have got it in the form of Ansu.  2. Pedri- I know, he is not a first team member just yet, but that is not to say he won't recieve first time action. I think when Ansu needs rest, Pedri should get some starts against less physical sides like Villarreal. Conclusion- After two seasons after Neymar left, we finally have two very good wingers on both flanks. This is definitely good ! 

Barca: A season to forget- What needs to change ?

What needs to change, in order to win the champions league this August ? So, I can'y really talk about mentality because I am not aware of the happenings in the dressing room, so, let's talk about tactics. Formations and player roles.  TYPE 1- 4-1-2-1-2 narrow Goalkeeper- Ter Stegen two center backs- Pique and Lenglet/ Pique and Araujo Right back- Semedo Left back- Jordi Alba Holding Midfielder- Sergio Busquets Two Central Midfielders- Riqui Puig and Vidal/De Jong /Rakitic Attacking Midfielder- Messi Two strikers- Suarez and Griezmann/ Fati ( He can definitely play there)               This formation was used in the last five games of league and it was evident that it worked fine only when the opposition was not ultra defensive. Napoli, sadly, is ultra defensive. In this formation, the defence has usual work. In the midfield, Busquets has to stay deep and think attacking. He needs to put ball forward after intercepting passes or gettiing ball...

Barca-1 : RMA -3

 Of Course it's the match review.  Look, we played well. If that calms you down, it should not. We need to win to show for it. No matter how many chances are created, until they are put away. Real Madrid were, by far the second best side today. But, they won. Maybe that's because of the VAR decision, but we need to understand that we should have been at least 3-1 up at that point. There's no excuse for that kind of finishing, in an El Clasico, the PREMIER FOOTBALLING SHOWCASE. At least it used to be. Now, there were some things more alarming, and some good ones, but as has been the case this season, finishing remains to be sharp. So, what are the even more negative things ? 1. Busquets. Yeah. I said it before, I will say it again, De Jong and Busquets can't play together. They do not complement each other. For details, click  here  . 2. The day Koeman was appointed, I had one, singular doubt about him. his passiveness. That is what we saw today. Yes, starting Pedri a...
