[DonAK]

He already agreed on a deal with Bartomeu and it seem like Faus is again.... responsible for this shit.

Rossich too.

Barca is pushing hard on Messi's image rights and Messi didn't agree with that. They will meet again next week. Nothing more.

I have never understood how Real Madrid so easily can get their players to accept to fork over 50% of their image rights.

This board of clowns can't leave soon enough... what a joke this is. Just before the final vs Atletico.

I don't care if he doesn't try on Saturday. This time, like most times, it will be very understandable.

I disagree.

Of course his anger towards the board would be understandable however he should always give his best for the team. The cup has nothing to do with the board in first place. It's for the players, for Puyol and Valdes, for Tito and for the fans. Everything which has to be discussed should be discussed after Saturday but not giving his best in every match is a bad attitude for a professional footballer.

Indeed. If this is true it's really just yet another example of the level stupidity this board is capable of. Let's just hope they don't mess up the focus of Messi and the team before the most important match of the season.

Hate the board, love messi.

Correct, if anything he should win it, and then open a can of soda un Bartomeu's face during the celebration...

 

[NotInHere]

calm down guys, im pretty sure the board is smart enough not to piss off Messi, his basically their most valuable target right now.

If he doesn't try, he should be subbed off after the first 10 minutes this time. It's either he gives 100% vs Atletico, or lets someone else do that. He can think about the contract on the bench.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

His Dad is a greedy fucker.

 

[Kerrybai]

It would make sense that he doesn't feel valued if he felt the board weren't trying to protect him from all the media shit over the past 12 months, in particular the rumours about selling him. Maybe the rumours had some truth to them.

I'd like to see a camera focused on Messi for 90 minutes to get a full picture of his facial expressions, his tiredness etc.

What we need is a more scientific approach with numbers. Compare 2012/13 matches with 2013/14 matches. How much do he he run? Is Tatas system destroying him? Alves crosses? Is his dribling worse,shooting, sight? The psychology he express? Someone with a lot of free time should do this, so he can shut us all up.

Personaly I dont think he is a weaker player, maybe his form isnt top notch, but you can see that the ability is still there, only a bit sharper finishing and he is at his best. Dont forget the Madrid game, he scored three, played amazing and showed genuin happiness and love for the club. Its only some matches ago. People tend to forget. And honestly, who has been our best player in 2014? He most definitely isnt far from beeing our best, his stats is brilliant. Everyone demands genius, when they dont Get it, then Its suddenly selling time. Even if his situation is perfectly understandable.
