No way. Messi will never leave Barca. To go live in Manchester, England and play in the EPL. Nah, he'll never.

Dude's been in Catalonia since he was 13 years old and can't speak Catalan. He's too simple minded and humble to leave his home, it's just not in his persona. He'd go play in Argentina before anything else. If the clubs in Milan were powerhouses like they used to be - then maybe he would go to Italy, but those teams fell off.

They aren't readily available in kids sizes. I'm hoping as the WC draw closer, they will be. Will get him a USA & RoK shirt. Not sure who on the US squad I'll get him but for the RoK it will defiantly be Kyung who plays for Cardiff. Might get Min who plays for Leverkusen...

My son is in his room playing Fifa 14 humming Christmas songs... :smoking All is right with the world right now...

I always liked the Infraredish-look of the RoK kits. 
 
I highly doubt Leo will ever leave Barça, but it's slightly more of a possibility than it was a year or two ago. His relationship with the board has soured, and an egomaniac like Rosell may consider it in the future for help in financing a new stadium. The Barça president is obsessed with creating his own legacy, so one can imagine him liking the idea of a team starring Neymar, a player he brought in, playing in a stadium built during his presidency. He knows he can't match Laporta (his predecessor) in terms of sporting success, so he's going about it in other ways.

That said, he almost certainly won't be sold before 2016 at the earliest. That's when the next elections are held, and while Rosell's chances of reelection are already fading fast, if he sold the greatest player in the world he'd have no chance. Now if Leo gets so fed up he decides to utilize his buy-out clause, then that's a different matter. Adidas co-owns Bayern, and would likely do whatever it took to bring him there.

He can speak and understand Catalan. And I'm not sure what being humble or 'simple minded' has to do with not wanting to play at another club. Maybe you just wanted to subtly throw some shade. I do hope you're right, though. Barça has seen too many greats leave the club too soon. Everywhere else would be a step down in my opinion, anyway.

:lol: What's Messi ever done to Roma? And a real Romanista would consider that a blasphemous statement.
 
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all.

Here's a gift - was reminiscing about this one during the derby the other day. It was overshadowed by the comeback, but it's one of my all time favorite goals:

Dude, he never speaks Catalan with the media, he's always speaking Spanish - stop that. But to be fair, he never speaks much anyways. That wasn't a subtle jab towards Messi, he is who is he is. He's a laid back humble guy, seems to be more content being comfortable with his family rather than chasing the glitz and glamour of transferring to a club like City or PSG. Don't get defensive. :lol: . In the end you'll be happy, he's not going anywhere.

Psk, how'd you get that Neymar font on the black kit. I'm sure your son is loving his presents. (I think you should get him a Porto kit next >D)

Merry Christmas tho fellas, we keep it OG in family tho. Opened presents at midnight. :pimp:

Messi does speak Catalan but he doesn't use it publicly for whatever reason. It's taught at La Masia. It's supposedly the primary reason some youngsters don't go there. It was supposedly the reason why Isco didn't.

My godfather got the Barca 3rd shirt from WorldSoccerShop. It's different than the number sets used on the home shirt, but I don't care.

I thought about getting him Porto shirt but he's not familiar with any of the players.
