He's holding a press conference tomorrow at noon.

It's not over yet: https://twitter.com/barcacentre/status/1423948201850195976 https://twitter.com/barcacentre/status/1423953328233406468

Maybe it was Messi that was bringing him down? I bet he starts dominating now that Messi has gone.

You know he can't win trophies without Messi. Very overhyped, injury-prone and nowhere as good as he used to be. He'll be injured for half the season next season.

The only thing that bothers me about Laporta is he was not completely telling the truth about the whole Messi situation. Yes, I do believe that Messi agreed to stay, but I don't believe that it was progressing as he said it did. He knew more than he let on. I would have respected him more if he...

If PSG does not win the Champions League, I'll laugh my head off. Actually, Neymar will probably be injured for half the season. Mbappe and Messi will probably bump heads due to their egos. Ramos will probably get sent off 10 times next season. Actually, this could be a fun watch. A disgusting...

Yeah, I don't believe it. I'm starting to believe that these so-called outlets haven't got a clue what's going on. You're telling me that PSG can somehow pay him that.... whilst paying the amount of money they do to Neymar and Mbappe and they won't be breaking the FFP rules?

I doubt that a deal to PSG is even close. They're just jumping on the fact that PSG was heavily linked in the past and Messi doesn't have a club. I also don't think they can afford him in regards to the FFP. They have several players who are earning over 200k a week. There is no way they can...

Chelsea appear to be in the race now: https://twitter.com/FootballlForAll/status/1423647896809914370

Depends on how much they're on. Say if they're on 200k a week with 1 year left, you're probably looking to pay out 10m..... unless you can come to a mutual agreement on a lower payment. I suspect that Laporta looked into that and possibly asked certain players if they would do that.... I guess...

I think there was a deadline by Messi and his father for them to make up their minds. Also, I doubt that Laporta would want this to go on any longer. Imagine if he was stringing Messi along till the last second and he couldn't register him? That would have been the scummiest move of all...

Didn't he say that terminating contracts is risky and that they could lose in the courts in any case? I honestly can't see certain players like Umtiti and Pjanic lying down and letting that happen. They'll want to get paid.

It's easier to lie and give people false hope than be honest and give the people the harsh reality. At least if you lie and the truth comes out later, you can find ways to spin it in your favor.

I don't even think PSG can afford him. They've just signed 4 players who are on well over 200k a week. Add to the likes of Di Maria, Mbappe, Neymar, Marquinhos and Verratti, how the hell do they afford him when they're in worse shape than Man City are in terms of the FFP? I still think City is...

Laporta stated for 2 months that things were progressing very well with Messi and we'll be able to sign him. For 2 months he stated that! He knew damn well what our situation was and yet he continued to keep giving people false hope. It wouldn't surprise me if we can't sign the 4 new players...

It hurts the more you think of it. We could have saved a potential 134m in wages, another 33m from his loyalty fee, could have got a potential 70m to 100m euros from a transfer fee.... or got a couple of players from City in exchange. We would have been in much better shape this season.

Yeah, if anyone thinks that Tebas is going to help us needs to think again. Tebas and Laporta hate one another.

There is no way PSG can afford Messi without breaking the FFP. They have Mbappe and Neymar, who are on massive wages. Besides, they've just signed free agents Ramos, Gini and Donnarumma, who are also on massive salaries. Actually, Verratti and Di Maria are also on big salaries. They just signed...

You need to calm down. It isn't the end of the world. lol

He didn't lose both of those guys. Real Madrid got over 100m euros on a 33-year-old and we did this to ourselves with terrible contracts and terrible signings. Tebas isn't to blame here.
