Is Lionel Messi heading to the Premier League?
English fans are praying that will be the case after the six-time Ballon d’Or decided they wanted to leave the Camp Nou.
There is only one real possible destination if you came to England: Manchester City.
If he comes to City, Pep Guardiola’s team will almost certainly win the title.
But what if he signed for another Premier League club? Does that also guarantee the success of the title?
Well, we had a bit of fun and decided to predict where all the clubs would end up in the 2020/21 season if they dramatically convinced Messi to sign for them.
We’ll see:
* We apologize for some of Messi’s terrible photoshop on different club jerseys *
Arsenal | Third
Messi enters and, not only does he take Mesut Ozil’s number 10 shirt, but he also becomes the club’s top winner. Oh.
A front of three from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Willian and Messi is delicious, but the Argentine is not good enough to get around David Luiz and Shkodran Mustafi. However, it is good enough for them to return to the Champions League.
Aston Villa | Tenth
It would be great to see Messi and Jack Grealish on the same team.
Grealish charging, recovering the ball and handing it over to Messi, who would do the rest.
However, Messi will be out of the game for weeks after John Terry knelt him on his back during training, as he did during the 2012 Champions League clash.
Brighton | 12
We hear that there is very little difference between Barcelona beach and Brighton beach. Messi would love to be on the south coast.
Burnley | Eighth
What better way to show that you can do it on a cold, wet and windy night in Burnley than to do it every other week. We can imagine Sean Dyche yelling at Messi for not closing in on the wing and telling him to watch videos of Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes to learn how to play center forward properly.
Chelsea | First
Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell and Messi. Yes, that is not a bad transfer window. Chelsea fans invented a truly original song for the greatest player of all time. Something like “Leo, Leo, Leo …”
Crystal Palace | Eighth
Change the red and blue of Barcelona for the red and blue of Palace? Wilfried Zaha beat three defenders, handed it over to Lionel Messi who would do the same and put it on a platter for Christian Benteke … so that he could put it wide. Roy Hodgson was rubbing his face.
Everton | Fifth
Carlo Ancelotti and Messi at Goodison Park? Messi could learn a thing or two from Theo Walcott, to be fair.
Fulham | 13
It would be wonderful to see Messi play his football on the banks of the River Thames at the picturesque Craven Cottage. Aleksandar Mitrovic would act as Messi’s bodyguard, crushing defenders for Messi to pass and score.
Leeds | Nineth
Messi always said he wanted to play with Marcelo Bielsa after all …
Leicester | Fourth
Does Messi have the character to play with Brendan Rodgers in Leicester? We would pay a lot of money to see Messi’s face when he finds out that his strike partner drinks Red Bull and chews tobacco before games. We can’t wait to play alongside his idol, Marc Albrighton.
Liverpool | First
If Liverpool signed Messi, their three forwards would be Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. However, it would be useful to bring Messi in for the last 15 minutes …
Manchester City | First
It is impossible that Messi and Pep Guardiola do not win the Premier League at City. Please make it happen.
Manchester United | Third
Sorry, but United STILL won’t win the title with Messi. Looking ahead, they would be unreal. But Messi is not going to help solve United’s inability to defend. We are also not very sure that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has the ability to bring out the best in Messi.
Newcastle | Tenth
Oh please make this happen …
Messi is one of 11 players behind the ball as Newcastle play 0-0 at home to Sheffield United. Steve Bruce is on the touchline yelling for “Leo” to come back with centrals overlapped. Mike Ashley brings you unlimited Sports Direct cups and a £ 20,000 per week contract.
Sheffield United | Sixth
Messi playing with Chris Wilder? Yes please.
Southampton | Sixth
Corrr. Messi feeds Danny Ings over and over and over again. It would be almost unstoppable. However, Messi will have to fight James Ward-Prowse to take the set pieces …
Tottenham | Fourth
During the North London derby, José Mourinho uses Messi in a left-back position to help defend against Hector Bellerin’s forward runs. Messi turns into a real shit during the season with more yellow cards than goals.
West Brom | fifteen
Messi’s ad video shows a man struggling with his cauldron before West Brom’s mascot bounces in, fixes the cauldron and then removes his head to reveal the six-time Ballon d’Or winner.
It also helps the Baggies survive the descent.
West Ham | Eighth
Does West Ham hire an aging player with massive salaries who has surpassed his best? Where have we heard that before?
We are very sorry to have put Messi in the same category as Samir Nasri, Patrice Evra, Alvaro Arbeloa, Andy Carroll, Yossi Benayoun, etc., etc.
However, Moyesy directing Messi would be fantastic, right?
Wolves | Fourth
For some inexplicable reason, every time the Wolves play a team, all of their left backs are absent due to injury. It has nothing to do with the fact that they have to face a double threat from Adama Traore and Lionel Messi.
