I doubt it. We simply cannot terminate Griezmann's contract; 800k a week for another 3 years would be impossible to terminate.

Desperate times for Laporta. He's trying to release any player he can so it trims the wage bill for a certain someone.

Most of that loan is going towards the short-term debt and backdated salaries we owe to the players. I highly doubt that we have that much money to just release players, especially on players who are on 150k to 200k a week with 1 to 3 years left on their contract. It's rather expensive. I...

PSG won't be able to get him this summer due to how many players already signed. Ramos will be on 12m a year, Gini will be on 10m a year, Donnarumma will be on 12m a year..... and they about to sign Hakimi for a large fee. Also, with Neymar's latest renewal, there is no way they can afford to...

Laporta is sounding less confident with each day that passes. Weeks ago he said that deal was close and they were only down to the little details. Now, they're still trying to find a formula. He can't afford to keep Messi and he's hoping Tebas bends to rules to keep Messi here. Tebas simply...

It does seem a little weird that Messi has stayed completely silent throughout all of this. I mean, he was more than happy to come out blasting the club last year in articles and whatnot. All the reports came out saying that he was focusing on Barcelona's season and that he won't make a decision...

I saw that. But Dembele and Alba won't take a 50% wage reduction. Heck, you can't blame them. It isn't their fault that we're in this mess. Griezmann will never take a 50% reduction. He actually doesn't owe us any loyalty, and it isn't his fault. Even if Griezmann takes a 50% reduction, he's...

We've known this for a while. Laporta is trying to pull a fast one by trying to bend the rules to keep Messi here. Tebas did say that if we were to keep Messi that we would have to reduce our wage bill by a lot. He pretty much said that would be impossible to keep Messi at Barcelona next...

It was before COVID. I doubt Messi has brought in anywhere close to the amount of money in the past 18 months. We've lost a lot from no stadium tours, shirt sales, no tours around the city, no matchday tickets. With COVID cases supposedly rising all over Europe, I don't see our situation...

Because 60m a year in our current situation is far too much, regardless of who it is.

They've been saying the same thing for the past 4 weeks. What the hell is so complicated about signing a new contract? You either sign it or you don't.... especially if he's supposedly agreed to the terms. I do hope we're not going to give him that bullshit contract of paying him for the...

We won't be able to offload him this summer. He's currently injured and is about to be out for about 6 months.

There is no way Dembele will accept a 50% reduction in his wages. I think he'll just wait it out and go on a free next season.

4 dribbles in 95 minutes from their star player? Hardly impressive. Also, he's bound to win 5 aerials when he's 6ft 1. I love how you mention how his teammates let him down when it's teammates who usually set him up for his goals. Most of his goals are tap-ins or penalties. Messi on the other...

Typical Ronaldo performance. If he doesn't get his tap-in or penalties, he offers absolutely nothing to the game.

As I said, he reminds me of Griezmann. Does nothing for 90% of the game, but might be able to nick a goal or 2.

We may have no choice but to keep him. I doubt any team wants to gamble on his wages regardless if it's a loan or not. He's been out for a while with an injury.

It also appears we need to cut 200m euros from the salaries if we keep Messi here. Laporta literally doesn't care as long as Messi is still here. Imagine the money we could have saved if we let Messi go last year. 133m euros in salaries and bonuses, another 33m from his loyalty fee, a...

He isn't that bad. He still scores around 80% of his penalties. Ronaldo is a better pen taker, but Ronaldo only scores like 85% of his penalties.

It's crazy the number of penalties this guy gets. He's done absolutely nothing in this game but somehow has 2 goals. Imagine if Messi had the number of penalties Ronaldo has had for his international team.
