what point?

If you mean the last line: i already answered that in my previous post. He rejected Milan so it would be strange to join Inter. Plus he is happy as Barca, where he also has more chance on success

Inter > Milan (at the moment).

Plus Inter are know for their love of players from Argentina, there's a lot of history there. The fact is that Inter are currently the best team in Italy and possibly in all of Europe, it's an attractive club at the moment.

I've already explained why Messi might consider a move to Inter.

Milan were better when Messi rejected them, than Inter are now

You said because Messi is unhappy with his contract. Where did he say that?

**D-Kin** · 08-12-2006, 03:23 PM

It's fairly common knowledge that he isn't entirely happy with his £2m-a-year deal, as I've said before.

The last time Milan were as good as Inter are now was a couple of years ago.

it's bollocks anyway mate, as if the boy is going to leave the Spanish and European champions for a team who have been Italian and European also-rans for over a decade.

You could have said the exact same thing when Ronaldo moved in 1997.

So players like Cambiasso (no starter so wanted to leave), oliveira (it was simply a move up) don't count

Can you mention 1 player?

Go back further mate, I'm an old guy. My knowledge goes back to the sixties.

That's not my point though, my point was that there are hardly any players who leave a club like barca, for an italian club. Why would Messi leave Barca for Inter? It's hardly happened in the past, and i dont see a reason either. If Messi has rejected Milan, why would he join a smaller club like Inter?

Inter IS not a smaller club than Milan. Yes in trophies. However, in other facets, the opposite seems to be true.

We draw more, we make more money, we are increasing our international fan base at an alarming rate, soon we will be in United and Real territory. That is fact.

**Jager** · 08-12-2006, 07:32 PM

This stupid point about players not wanting to join club for certain reasons is complete non sense.

Why did the greatest player of all time play for Napoli?

And to CSG...why would a player choose United. If you use that mentality, players should only want to play for Real or Milan, if winning the CL is on the only goal.

Past peformance is NOT indicative of future results...generally.

Milan might not win another CL for a very long time. Its entirely possible.

In regards to Messi, the future is not set.

They have Ronny, it migh be too difficult to hold on to another explosive talent, that will want to command the headlines.

Its about egos really. I say one will leave in the next few years.

Messi is flattered by the interest from Inter but he doesn't want to leave Barcelona.

It really makes you think about players and the clubs they might want to join or not join.

The greatest player to ever play, chose Napoli, why? What is Napoli? Yet he chose a club that never won nothing, and became a legend in a city...already one in international football.

**D-Kin** · 15-12-2006, 11:45 AM

And Inter are at least equal to Barcelona at the moment anyway, they've got the money and they've got the potential to win things.

Plus you have to remember that a lot of Messi's international team mates are at the club so that's another reason to join. Players like Samuel, Javier Zanetti, Crespo, Cambiasso and Burdisso.

**Jager** · 15-12-2006, 11:49 AM

I feel agents can push for moves, if they feel a player of Messi's ability is being overshawdowed by another phenom like Ronny.

Sometimes stars want the spotlight to themselves. Things are going well at Barca for now, I don't expect much movement.
