I think dules has seen him a handful of times. IIRC he thought messi was a shorter version of gervinho with slightly worse finishing abilities
Lionel Messi
Has more goals and assists than Liverpool but I'd rather we spent the money on Liverpool as it has premier league experience and would settle in right away.

Just signed a new contract.

Contracts are meaningless. We can still get him if we are willing to pay him 15m Euro / year net of tax.
This is part of why I don't buy into this 'more than a club nonsense' that Barca spews. Sure, they develop a lot of their own players, but the wages that they are able to put players on are simply unaffordable to all but about 4 clubs (Real, Anzhi, City, PSG, maybe Chelsea). And it's not like they're not spending on massive transfer fees either to bring in the likes of Cesc, Alexis, etc.
It helps to have Wenger bending over for them too Claudius.
