    If he went to prem now and didn't immediately score 500 goals that lot will say how he's overrated and isn't good enough.

    Will be interesting to see what he's next move will be. Man city, psg, a team in Argentina?, * everyone off and retire?

    Wouldn’t Manky City and FC Qatar de Paris also be breaching FFP limits if they took him on?!?

    I think he wants one more crack at the World Cup so will do a stint in the MLS to see that out then just retire.

    If course …. There could be Spanish bullshit in the air and he stats at Barca somehow.

    I’ve just checked my foreign money tin and got some of those old pound coins, 230 Norwegian Krone, 500 yen, 30 rubles and a handful of Canadian coins…

    Should all help.

    He’s not skint after all and got those washing machine ads to top up.

    It’s the logical move.

    I was talking to a mutual friend & he told me, he’s not gonna be coming here this window mate. Doesn’t ever give me bad info so I’m gonna try getting on at the bookies.

    Wow man, unbelievable news. The thought of him not at Barca is mind blowing.

    He’s a net contributor to Barca. They are even more * financially by not paying his exorbitant wages never mind how the * will fall out them completely from a competitive POV.

    Ronaldo and Messi now gone from La Liga. The end of an era and I think Spanish football could be in trouble. The league is bound to lose a heck offa lot of interest.

    Although Real are my team, I'd have loved him to stay at Barca, the other one was going to the Argue team, think it was Newell Old Boys, that would have been a nice touch.

    Just him going to another European team seems wrong.

    Aye. Barca will struggle to recover from all this * they’re in after this.

    Mad as * to think he’ll be playing elsewhere soon. Can literally remember his first Barca goal.

    Stupid monies being paid.

    It is truly disgusting.


    Might as well retire.....or play for free or donate his wage to charities ( tax deductible for the club hence not a wage).

    Loada * anyway

    Still can't get my head around this.
    If he wants to stay, wouldn't it be logical to accept a much lower wage?
    He's already got mad amount of money, surely not going down in the gutter with lets say 10% of his current wage?
    It's not like he's living on the wage line like the majority of us.

    Some other team in the EPL will offer him 400k a week and about £100m+ sign on fee to cover the rest.

    I think that's just a soundbite. My guess is that he's ready to move on and isn't happy at Barca.

    If I was him I’d fancy a new type of challenge. I’ve made my tens of millions and still got sponsors ect so why not go a play in a smaller league for 20k a week at a team you’ve played in the CL or something and really enjoyed theirs fans passion….who could that be??

    Will be tough to see him in another shirt but the club has been run into the ground and I don't blame him for jumping ship
