Lionel Messi Threatens To Leave Barcelona If His Demands Are Not Met




Lionel Messi has reportedly threatened to leave Barcelona should the club fail to bring an alternative solution to the recent crisis bedeviling it.

The Argentine hitman has been a messianic figure for the Catalans since the beginning of the campaign but was unable to replicate his brilliance as Barcelona were disgracefully outsmarted by Espanyol.

Barcelona also surrendered an early lead to suffer a 3-2 Super Cup defeat to league rivals Atletico Madrid in Jeddah, in what appeared to be the last stroke that broke the camel’s back.

Although Barcelona are still the La Liga leaders, albeit on goal difference, Messi has issued a stern warning to the club over potential exit should they fail to bring bright stars.

According to report from Spain, the six-time Ballon d’Or winner has told the Spanish giants to sign new strikers who will fill the void of injured Luiz Suarez.

The Uruguayan, who already has 14 goals in 23 matches, has been ruled out till the end of the season after suffering knee injury.

And as at look, Neymar Jr and Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez are the two players wanted by Messi at the Camp Nou.

Messi had also told the club to get rid of surplus stars including under-performing Ousmane Dembele and Carles Perez who he wants to be loaned.

The incident happened at Etimagu Street, Bariga area of Lagos where they reside.

Arsenal's £72m Enigma: Arteta Right To Demand More From Mercurial Pepe

The Gunners' record signing may have scored his third goal of the season on Thursday night but his manager wants consistency across 90 minutes. Mikel Arteta’s answer was clear when asked what Nicolas Pepe needed to show in order to earn himself a regular starting spot in Arsenal's Premier League team. “Consistency,” said the Arsenal boss, when quizzed on the Gunners’ record signing, following Thursday’s night’s 4-1 Europa League win against Molde at the Emirates Stadium. It was a game that perfectly encapsulated the enigma that is Pepe. The £72 million ($95m) man was infuriating at times - especially in the first half - but just as he had done against Dundalk a week earlier, he popped up with an excellent goal. He also went on to add an assist for Joe Willock, a late strike which sealed a comfortable victory for Arteta’s side and all but booked Arsenal’s passage into the knockout stages. It was a classic Pepe performance and more evidence of why he remains such a puzzle in nort...

Should Arsenal Sell Eddie Nketiah To West Ham

 Once he hit the U18s he was known as a prolific goalscorer, and was quickly promoted to the U23s, where he carried on scoring despite his age, and Arsene Wenger introduced him to the senior side. Fans started to take notice when he came on as a sub in a League Cup game against Norwich and scored both goals and we were excited for his future. But that promise has never quite materialised. Eddie has continued to be prolific against Smaller sides (i.e. League Cup, Europa League and England U21 qualifiers) but in the League he has managed just 4 goals in 33 appearances, although mostly off the bench. The superstriker never seems to emerge, but I guess we have to remember he is still only 21 and has rarely had a run in the senior side, but I don’t think fans are as excited about him displacing Aubameyang or Lacazette any more. So, the rumours today are that West Ham are considering making an offer for Eddie, after selling Hillier to Ajax for 20m, and we could probably do with selling a...
