Wishlist Lionel Messi

[Jase 43,479]

When was the last time you heard Messi was unhappy and is throwing a tantrum? He's been a model footballer for his entire career almost to a fault.

Ever since Guardiola left Barcelona. There have been episodes here and there about Messi being unhappy with the manager's coaching, the board etc. Throwing a tantrum? Well, when he's not happy, he suddenly decides to hint at wanting to leave, knowing full well of his strong position at the club and their willingness to do almost anything to keep him happy.

That is just a repost, you already posted the EXACT SAME THING here. Just because people didn't like it, doesn't mean people didn't read it.

I think the way you answer to me is not appropriate to the language we use regularly in this forum. I know I have written a part of this message on another forum topic, the topic of Wilfried Bony which was the most watched yesterday and today no one is watching or reviewed now, but we're talking about Messi and commenting our opinion on the Financial Fair Play and I have remembered the message I put in the subject of Wilfried Bony and I considered interesting retrieve that message to the theme of Messi to see who thought the forum my opinion the Financial Fair Play. But if you had read the entire message you'd see that I have added another paragraph in which I spoke about Messi, Pogba and paying the signing of them without being sanctioned by the Financial Fair Play. My message was not a copy and paste to earn points, my only intention was to continue the discussion so interesting that we were all having. I think your comment was not necessary because you give to understand that I just want to forum members for their punctuation and not for further discussion. I think your answer was not the best way, this forum is not a competition, it is a forum to discuss calmly and with respect to all Chelsea fans.

I deeply respect your opinion, and I will not impose what you Have to write, but I will ask you to do it with more respect, with the same respect I treat any member of the forum, and I rectified my messages several times my mistakes, and I apologized if I could annoy someone. So I apologize to you if you bothered to you with my comment, I do not intend to offend, just clarify to you that I have not copied and pasted a previous message because I copied a previous mio message I thought you could be interested also in the theme of Messi and I added a paragraph but with more comments. It's very different, I'm not doing spam, just put comments where I think that may interest more members of the forum. That's my only intention.

I repeat that I apologize if I've bothered to something, that was not my intention, I'm just here to talk about my team with respect, calm and much encourage you to have a good time (which happens constantly in this forum).

I apologize to you and to any member of the forum that has been bothering with my attitude.

Has NEVER been my intention to disturb or offend anyone.

In the midst of all this crisis talk and Luis Enrique's faults at Barcelona, can I just say Messi is such a drama queen? I know he's a great player and all but it's like the minute he's not happy about something, he throws tantrums and the club have to appease him. Worst part is, the media doesn't even report on these things. If it was someone like Ronaldo, it would have been all over the papers, websites etc.

Just going to sort of turn the statement upside down and demonstrate the difference in perspective I have, doesn't mean you're wrong or I'm right.

Because Ronaldo (and players like Rooney, Tevez, Enrique etc) have been given so much attention and are plastered all over the newspapers, websites, etc...and based on the observations I've made that indicate the media will do ANYTHING to report and "create" stories for sales, I believe there is no reason for them to catch word of Messi's wrongdoing and consciously not report it. Quite the contrary, I think. Any press is good press cuz they want sales. I'm of the opinion that Messi's actual drama and need for attention is commensurate with that amount of negative reporting and press he receives. Like you, I've noticed that he def gets less jaw-dropping front page coverage that amounts to nothing than say, Suarez and Ronaldo. I just think maybe that's cuz he provide them with less actual drama than Suarez and Ronaldo.

Does Messi get some eye catching story every once in awhile? Ya, I remember he had some issues with local tax agencies regarding possible fraud some time ago...among the typical he-says, she-says transfer gossip. Just far less than his world-class peers usually.

he didn't like guardiola neither.

You are ironically disregarding the most important arguments of those who don't think this would be good for the club:

1. The deal would be financially catastrophic to the club (unless Adidas funded part of it, which is unlikely).

2. The FFP rules would crack down on us.

3. Letting Messi in would likely mean letting Hazard leave.

4. According to Spanish media, Messi's problems at Barcelona have mostly to do with his attitude regarding the discipline demanded by the manager. When the manager wants to take him off the game, he says no. When the manager benches him for one unimportant game, he doesn't show up for training the next day. Now imagine him doing all of this to Mourinho. How well would that work out? According to Guardiola's own authorized biography, the moment he realized Messi's possessive and demanding personality, he basically put Messi on a pedestal and bowed to any demand he made. Can you imagine Mourinho doing that? I can't.

Firstly, none of us know the financial state of the club.

1. The only way this deal is even spoken about in whispers is because of the potential monies from our sponsors. This entire fiasco would've been laughed off had it not been for the link between Adidas and Turkish Airlines...

2. How would the FFP rules crack down on us? For what reason? we wouldn't do the deal unless we can still comply. Also, if you look at the penalties City and PSG got for their first warnings, adding Messi then having UEFA step in to limit our spending would be fine by me! One would argue that with a lineup that includes Hazard, Fab, Messi, Costa, Remy, Willian, Oscar, Matic, Ramires, Luis, Azpilicueta, Terry, Zouma, Courtois, Schurrle all at or near their prime shouldn't have to go into the window and spend big. Also, remember PSG AND City still spent a decent amount of money this past window, PSG bought Luiz for 50m.... City bought Fernando, Mangala, Sagna and a keeper...

3. Based on what exactly? Because the two can't co-exist? There have been rumours of Hazard going to Real Madrid... Ronaldo, Bale, James, Kroos, Modric. How is our situation any worse?

4. That would never happen with Mourinho because Jose isn't a moron! Messi would play every game he's healthy, Jose is the best man manager in the business. A guy like Loic Remy, who many Chelsea supporters think should be playing a lot more, is quite content with riding the pine in favour of Drogba. Luis, who many thought was the best LB in the world, is riding the pine for Cesar who is actually a RB. The legend that is Petr Cech is staying at Chelsea instead of moving somewhere he can be the no.1 keeper. All of this is made possible because Jose Mourinho is probably a better man manager than he is a tactician and that takes some doing.

Not saying Messi is coming unequivocally, but I most certainly will NOT rule it out until he himself comes out and clears the air. The other thing to consider which many seem to ignore is the tax situation, Messi has paid damn near £50m in fines and still has to appear in front of a judge. In England and moreover Chelsea, the club would've protected him from such charges... No wonder the guy is so pissed off at the hierarchy, they hung him out to dry despite all the success he's brought them.

This is the first I've ever heard such charges about the Messi unrest. He loved Tito, Martino was brought on with the aid of Messi(his former coach) and now there's Enrique who is shit.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

So elections at the end of the year.... That means no Messi till that whole thing gets sorted.

[iseah100 5,612]

So, is he coming?

[Term-X 7,891]

Messi is pretty much synonymous with the number ten, I remember when Ballack's agent made the 13 shirt part of the deal, which resulted in Gallas leaving because of Kenyon taking it without his consent. If this deal happens (it won't) but if it did.. Hazard would have to take Drogba's 11 when he becomes coaching staff, or go back to 17.

Messi without 10, from a 'branding perspective', is like Nike without the swoosh.

I think it is appropriate. I did not call you names and I wasn't rude. I just said you copy pasted your post from a previous post, and I consider that spam and called you out on it. I was going to let that be the end of it, but since you replied to me, I will reply back.

But if you had read the entire message you'd see that I have added another paragraph in which I spoke about Messi, Pogba and paying the signing of them without being sanctioned by the Financial Fair Play.

That is true, I did not see that. But it's not really my fault, when I read more than five lines in a post that I've already read, to assume I've read the rest of the post as well. People not reading your entire post is kind of a logical result to copying and pasting your posts.

My message was not a copy and paste

Ah but it was. Compare your two posts below:

The Financial Fair Play is a joke. I think it is a rule to keep us scared because we have a president with money which he began stage presidents with lots of money in big teams that have followed after by Manchester City, PSG and other teams.

I see that if that punishment to Manchester City and PSG last year, but their punishments were ridiculous. Instead I see other teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern making big signings without looking at the price of their players.

This is a great suspicion that is constantly hovering our team. Whenever Chelsea intends to do some signing is the time when some very strange intelligent appears and reminds us as a threat: "Chelsea Care, we will penalize to you with the rule of the Financial Fair Play".

Instead, City and PSG fichan new players and they flirt with everyone.

I would like to see City, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern with the same fear that we have the rule Financial Fair Play.

Besides the signing of Messi we would pay with the help of ADIDAS, TURKISH AIRLINES, FIFA GAME ... I also believe that Juventus owe us money by the issue of Mutu and the UEFA sanction and we can put them to use in that operation. At any step, the signing of Messi we would pay with advertising revenues as it has done for Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo or Bale. The problem is when you pay a fortune for Fernando Torres and we can never recover that investment. With Messi would recover that investment with insurance advertising. I just remind you that RONALDINHO which seems a retired since 2006 player still moves a fortune of millions each year. Messi still moves more million and above remains to TOP PLAYER. His signing would not hurt us to the Financial Fair Play, but it would help us to keep our economic accounts perfectly.

I would like to see City, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern with the same fear that we have the rule Financial Fair Play.

Yes you did add an alinea in the last post. I didn't notice that, because I never got to that point because I had already read the posts first four alinea's and so assumed all of it was a repost.

Why not just post the new alinea?

I think your answer was not the best way, this forum is not a competition, it is a forum to discuss calmly and with respect to all Chelsea fans.

You don't have to apologize mate. Not to me. I'm just pointing out I (and others here) don't like reposts. First, because it's spam, and second, (even though you state that wasn't your intention) it feels like you're just trying to collect points. To me, the points don't matter though so I only care about the first reason. I think spam (or reposts in this case) decrease the discussions in the threads.

But don't worry about it, no need to apologize, I'm not mad or anything. And you don't have to be afraid of me, I'm not a moderator

#FCB President Bartomeu: "What would happen if a club paid Messi's (250m) release clause is speculation & I'm not going to speculate." #CFC

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Lionel Messi is happy at Barcelona and will stay with the club until at least the end of his contract in 2018, says president Josep Maria Bartomeu.

But Bartomeu said: "Messi has a contract until 2018, he is happy with the club and wants to win more titles.

"There is nothing to panic about in that regard. Messi is the central figure. The team is built around him."

He added: "The whole footballing world knows that Barca don't want to sell Messi. For me he is the best player in the world."

Catalan radio has claimed that the London club has contacted Messi's father and agent Jorge.

But Bartomeu told a news conference: "These news stories are created to try to damage FC Barcelona. They are written with the intention of creating conflicts where conflict does not exist.

Standard 'Pony' spouted when these things happen...

One thing though, the seed is now planted in Messi's head - I bet he has imagined a life at Chelsea and his missus will be dripping it in his ear everyday.

As Greavsie said - Football's a funny old game! I won't be surprised if out of nothing we end up with Messi...

If he doesn't come by the summer I don't want him.

Perfect, but when you put "(even though you state your intention That was not) it feels like you're just trying to collect points" I just can me feel for your comment, I think you understand me, you're implying that I'd rather have points to speak normally (not that I can benefit collect points, I give to lIKE THIS when a comment has liked, not to reward anyone, I do it because I liked what he said another forum member or because I appreciate the information that he has put). I do not intend to collect points, and if there is a trophy for the points I give up and prefer not to compete for this trophy. I just pretended that a comment I had written in another theme of the forum would read more members. I give up in the fight for the trophy points, rather speak freely. I do not want to attack you nor argue with you, you're another friend of the forum and just wanted to continue talking to everyone about Chelsea.

SPAM or repost is when you copy and paste a purely message. If you count the words in my first post you will see that are 178 words, in the second, however, are 329, which makes a difference of 151 words more in the second message to the former. I think I qualify repost a message when I added the words twice in the second message (329) from the first (178) I understand it as a lack of respect towards me. I've copied and pasted a message, simply copy a message from a previous topic which nobody was reading today, and I have supplemented with a comment I wanted to put Messi theme so that more people read it and continue the debate that other forum members had begun on the theme of Messi on Financial Fair Play. To suggest I do to earn points is unpleasant, but deeply respect your opinion, I just thought that comment breaks the harmony and respect in this forum.

I again apologize to you and the rest of the forum, and not enlarge but this little discussion because the important thing is to talk about Chelsea and Messi.

I do not wear much in the forum but if I was wrong or someone is offended by a comment written by me, I apologized immediately. That's why I apologized to you. I'm just here to have a good time and do not want to antagonize With anyone.

I apologize to the entire forum you for responding, but only pretended to claim the respect that I have seen in all members of the forum for me as I do with all. And I promise that I will not return to answer anything about this little discussion.
