Nightmarish Words for Barca Fans

“Having said that, clearly playing in Italy is the dream of every player, including my son.

“Seeing as nobody knows what will happen in the future, let us just say it is possible that sooner or later that dream can come true.” – Lionel Messi’s father & agent.

From a realistic perspective, one team men are a thing of the past. When these rare occasions do occur, they’re typically hometown boys who have an emotional tie to the club, city and fanbase – such as Raul and Francesco Totti, two hometown boys done good.

When it comes to the most desired players on the planet, the transfer fees are more often than not an expensive lease, rather than a buy ‘em up and lock ‘em in the basement for all of eternity type deal. But even so, these words from Papa Messi must sting a bit, considering Barca is now Lionel’s team and he is arguably the most desirable player on the planet, just freshly 21 years old. For all the talent of Cristiano Ronaldo, he’s missing any semblance of professionalism and class, two qualities Messi has in abundance along with his massive talent. In short, he’s hard to hate. (Unless you root for Real Madrid and/or Brazil.)

Considering Argentina’s National Team has a satellite program in Milan being supplemented by the deepest of deep pockets – deep pockets with a massive hardon for all things Messi – the possibility that Messi could go soon isn’t all that unthinkable. Perhaps not this summer, but Massimo Moratti would fax a blank check to Barca in a heartbeat if it meant coming one step closer to his dream of an All-Argie XI featuring the country’s best player. Or maybe we should just start up Messi for Kaka rumor now? He’d have suitors, that’s for sure.

Relish Messi while you can, Barca fans. The days ma be numbered.
