So Bartomeu, the president of one of the two parties in Messi's contract, wouldn't know exactly what the contract entails? I find that hard to believe. There must be some room for interpretation in it.

The shitfest is just really starting now.

Did you reload after every loss?

All of these things have a point but straight-out telling someone "your privileges here are over and you have to work for the team from now on" is not a clever way to approach in the first meeting to reach what you want. Messi might be spoilt, but if this is true and went down just like that...

I was of a different opinion before but he HAS to speak now after making it as official as not showing up.

I was staying off the internet for a while and returned late at night when the news first broke, coming to twitter seeing Messi as the no. 1 trend world-wide thinking it was a joke. You stay off once and this happens.

Thinking we'll sink to Sevilla level is just as out of place as thinking that Messi leaving isn't a big loss and further dent to our ongoing fall from being a guaranteed European top 5 club.

True. Always sucks though, and this one leaves a bitter taste.

Regardless of the contract subject and conflict at hand, it's just a surreal feeling right now. I attended six games at the Camp Nou in six different seasons, among them Xavi's and Iniesta's last games and the liga celebration in 2015, and Messi was running riot in all of them. This year was...

Sigh... I thought I was through with this bullshit, but seeing the video of fans waiting at the Ciutat Esportiva for Messi at 10.15 and looking disappointed realizing he's not coming still stung like hell. :( Just overall disappointed in general now.

That's not what I mean. Why would Radio Catalunya know if Messi "right now" intends to not show up "on the advice of his lawyers". That wording sounds like bs. If he wants to force a move, I'd expect him to just stay away unannounced, or at least not some vague shit like "as of right now I don't...

Afaik it mentions a specific date, not the end of the season, even if that's what it's supposed to mean. And here's where the legal battle would be played: Would a court go with the verbatim or with the intention.

Why would Messi disclose to anyone whether or not he plans to appear for tests and training?

Or goes to PSG instead of City. At least the French won't pronounce his first name as lion-el like some English folks.

I may be alone with this one, but I think all this seems worse to us within the Barca bubble than it is from an outside perspective. I don't even think the 'saga' is perceived as one as much outside of the Barca fan group, specific Barca-related media and fans of clubs that are supposedly in for...

She also said he'd talk in a few hours

She also tweeted "Antonella is the answer". This could mean anything.

If Messi was willing to accept Barto's offer, that would indicate he think he's bad enough that potentially looking back is the lesser of two evils. The first point however makes sense.

Messi didn't do anything but to send that transfer request and afterwards not say anything publicly. The rest is just the press and the internet.

But that's a very blunt thing to do before any exit has been finalised and the situation resolved. How'd that look if he's forced to stay (for whatever unlikely reason) in the end? Would be a real fuck you finger to the club, if it happened.
