Lionel Messi - v7

[Messi983]

You both have no idea about legal battles do you?

Yes, that's why I expect him to say silent now until his future is resolved one way or the other.

But a few days after the Bayern game he should say something, at least post a message on IG or something. Stay silent after that loss is just not something a true captain should do even if he has already decided to leave before that.

I've never wanted to keep players here against their own will regardless of how good they were so if Messi doesn't want to play for the club anymore he should leave. Hopefully Barca and City will reach an agreement soon. But the longer this goes on the worse it looks for both Messi and Barca.

If Leo leaves La Liga would've lost Ronaldo and Messi in the space of 2 years, no one would've foreseen that coming

And no new Stars coming. Dark times coming to LaLiga.

nice to have Kevin's wife on the forum

Its kinda hot being the only club in the world with the power to tell Messi he's staying and not bend over and submit to him.

Messi being dominated by a strong character for once in his life might be what's needed to kick him into gear.

 

[Porque]

Even Messi is not going to accept to leave for free as it can fire backs with a possible ban.

They will agree on some deal, knowing Barca will loose Messi for free in 10 months or less and they can do nothing about it. And that's not a good leverage at all for negotiation

Barto doesn't give a shit about the second option as it will not be under his term

Yeah, but it is better for Barto that Messi stays then leaves on a bad deal for Barcelona. He won't care what happens in a year with a new board as you say, but it also gives him the leverage to not need to accept poor offers for Messi inspite his contract having one season on it.

If Messi stays and refuses to train then it only looks bad on Messi. Messi already [legally wise] said he believes he is out of contract so that means he is giving himself no legal right to take his current wage. Tons of worm cans surrounding all of this.

 

[raskolnikov]

If this board hadany clue, they try to let Messi leave on good terms while milking city for 100 mil, maybe even add in a player.
Also 50 mil of the books.

Now he either walks for free or cashes 50 mil, sulks for a year then leave for free.
Him staying means everyone loses.
The whole way of dealing with the goat player and club legend like this also makes us more of a meme and look ungratefull and ruthless.

Players must be eager to join this club.

Bartomeu is acting desperate now. He went to the head of La Liga to stop this from happening.... and we all know how much big friends they are. This was bound to happen.

Instead of being petty and wasting all his time on this, he could be actually be negotiating a deal for Messi. We could then actually start bringing players in for a rebuild. He could actually be using his time to sell players like Suarez, Rakitic, Vidal.... etc. No, but he's wasting his time. Didn't he claim we would be clearing house after the Bayern defeat? 2 weeks later and we still have the same squad. We are no closer to selling those players. We just now have a very angry Messi, who clearly wants to leave.

This tells you everything. Even after the La Liga statement that Messi still thinks he has a case and still wants to leave.

nah, la liga always have some generational south american talent. I love Messi, i think he is the greatest ever, but sometimes his stupidity has harmed or would harm his legacy more then whatever result could/should.

One more cl in the bag(?) vs greatest scorer ever for a single club while beating that pele twat in direct race for doubtable ones?

Bayern was a shitshow until flick came, who knows how we would play under koeman. My opinion is that it cant go worse then last season, and he as a player should know that.

Fuck barto, fuck everyone responsible for this media shitfest, but dont be stupid leo. Endure, get that achievement and then, you can go fuck yourself too if you think so

You're actually sounding pretty pathetic at the moment. You were right behind Messi 4 days ago and backed his transfer request because you thought he was trying to get rid of Bartomeu. Now you're actually siding with Bartomeu? Next.... you'll be wanting Bartomeu to stay on.

I have no doubt that when Messi leaves you'll claim he's a traitor.

 

[Detective Hoffman]

Messi was open to continue until barto and koeman tried to get rid of suarez and minimize influence of messi in dressing room. If you undermine Messi and his status his friends what reaction you wait from him. Messi will not attend single training under Koeman and rightly so.

Relax he is staying

Rightly so? Why? is this FC Barcelona or FC Messi?

Sure the board has been corrupt and stupid for years, but Messi isn't a total innocent here.

Fc Messi is more important than Fc Barcelona?

Should we all bend over and do whatever he wants?
We don't want to make angry 33 years old man-child?

Lol, no thanks.

I think because La Liga has a copy of Messi's contract and after reviewing it they made that statement.

It's not about doing us a favor like someone here claimed.
