    Messi hasn't played as a lone striker or false nine since Suarez went to Barca, and that was almost 10 years ago. But otherwise yeah I agree. Miami is like the perfect place for rich Latinos to live it up, I guess he wants to do that.

      Oh yeah I know that, but the trend has almost always been that the older players that add the most to a team are further back in the field. Explosivity and speed is everything if you want to be anything more forward than a back midfielder, and speed is a young person's domain.

      Also, the European leagues wring their players dry, no matter their status. As far as I know, the level of physical strain is not as bad in the US. So if I was Messi and I would like to keep playing football without risking destroying my aging body, I would move to a place that offered that.
