Should still be fine. At least he won't really need any period of adaptation.

Did you type that through gritted teeth?

Think he'll miss only the first two games. Was said to be out for only 3 weeks and that was from last week.

Oh, you don't want to go there.

Confirmed. Discuss here...

Nothing mentioned yet.

We'll be playing Brighton away in our first pre-season friendly this Saturday. A small number of fans will be allowed into the stadium - only home fans - as part of the UK government's test pilot event.

I don't believe that...

Such a contrasting view on that.

Yes, I am aware of that. But Messi is Barcelona and Barcelona is Messi. The idea of Messi being in another team doesn't seem right. Of course, he could very well leave for real or this could well be the ultimate power play. This drama is a long way from the end, I reckon. I don't even know why you had to mention that and all the stats. Is that just an excuse to mention your boy Abraham?

The obsession is kinda funny though.

He didn't...

But from a business and financial perspective, do you really expect Barcelona to just let Messi walk away for free? Besides, this could all easily change if Messi gets what he wants and Bartomeu resigns or is ousted from the club.

This. There's also no guarantee that Messi will leave Barcelona on a free, if he does really leave. There's gonna be a legal battle between him and the board over his contract exit clause. Otherwise his release clause is 700 million euros.
