Neymar's Negative Influence on Messi

Barto was stupid to give out those huge contracts and pay those extertionate transfer fees. But he did it after us losing Neymar and with the club at the top of the revenue list.

Sure, the model was suicidal, but I'd wager we would have pulled it off if the pandemic didn't appear. We would have got rid eventually of the high earners.

They got what they deserved with their strategy, if you spend every penny you earn you're fucked if things go south and that's what happened. Of course nobody could've predicted the pandemic, but it's certainly not a coincidence Barca got hit so hard by it compared to most other clubs. Relying on shady "book balancing" swap deals leaving us with even more old and overpaid players just to keep the whole thing running was the writing on the wall for the fucked up financial situation.

Sure without covid it would've probably worked longer but still far from a healthy economic situation. You can't sustainably rely on these deals and hope for eternally growing revenue. Dembele and Coutinho were already dumb deals but at least mostly covered by Neymar, but doubling down with Griezmann without even selling an expensive player first was just suicidal and if it wasn't so sad for the club it would almost be funny that covid striked just at the right time to expose their lunatic squad planning.

Barto was giving out huge contracts before Neymar left.
Remember, Neymar had a 20m loyalty due in 2017 and by then he had only been in the club for 4 years. lol

It was part of the deal Messi and Neymar agreed upon before the start of the Copa.

Neymar told Messi that he will let him win his first mayor trophy with Argentina but only if he joins him at PSG. Messi had no other option than accept his offer because without an international tittle his legacy would have not been complete. That's the reason why they were seen together laughing and joking after the game. They both knew that the deal was done.

Messi also knew that his chances of winning another CL with the current Barcelona squad were basically zero so he did the necessary thing which would grant him the opportunity to win the CL with 2 different teams. In doing so, he would shut down the critics who are saying that he can only play in Spain while Ronaldo won the CL with 2 different clubs and won numerous domestic tittles in 3 countries.

Like Messigician said, the photo of him and the PSG amigos was no coincidence. Neymar promised him tittles and the chance to repeat the glory days of the NMS era. Messi caved in.

The Laporta and wage cut thing were all a smoke screen.

Let's talk about that...

Is the reason Messi wants to go PSG.

Influenced Messi to get his dreadful tattoos and the blonde hair.

Big enough of an influence for Messi to demand Barto to sign Neymar or he isn't renewing.

Clear change in Messi's personality.


Was signing him a mistake?

Relax, he's coming. :mou:
