Hey Eds,Happy Valentine's Day. I have 2 questions:

1. Does this talk of Messi agreeing new contract mean danger of breaking up MSN has passed?
Or will he still be available for the right price?

2. What's the status on Luise Enrique's future and possible replacements?

Thanks a lot.

{Ed002's Note - 1. At this time Messi has not signed a new contract. There has been a continued effort to gauge what interest in him exists at this time. 2. There is no decision yet on what will happen with Luis Enrique and his contract renewal but Barcelona, like other clubs in a similar position, have hedged their bets by coming up with a list of potentil replacements. There is no secret that Ronald Koeman is on the list but not at the head of the list. That would be Jorge Sampaoli with Ernesto Valverde not far behind. Juan Carlos Unzué is well thought of. Several, including Francisco Jemez and Klipperty will have now dropped of the bottom of the list I would think, but they were discussed.}

Thanks for the reply Ed. Can't help but feel these type of questions will only increase after last night's debacle.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect you are right.}
