he said nothing implying he wants to leave, though. As Mascherano said, the press distorted his words a lot. The guardian piece, for instance, looks just like another "news" to get hits.

Flavia, that Guardian piece was basically a translated version of an article in El Confidencial. While I agree that Messi most likely is not even thinking about leaving, he might consider it if he gets stuck with the legal problems in future as well, because, there is just so much shit you can take before you gotta move away.

Winning and performance shut up all critics. Barcelona just needs to start winning, and Messi just needs to continue to have great performances. Let's start tomorrow.

It's not about critics, it's about how much a person can take being hunted by the authorities for no apparent reason while others have been let free just like that, it's about getting tired of having people trying to get you down all the time, it's about getting distraught over facing legal troubles time after time despite of whatever you do to settle, to make it good.

These things takes a toll on people.

I'm not talking about his or Barcelona's performances or the press making up stories about him, I'm talking about the legal battle he is facing and how a long, extended battle could make him just simply get tired of things and consider other options.

As for now, I don't think he even do so, but you never know. I just hope he gets out of this legal shit he is in and that the team starts functioning better so that Messi starts doing better as well when he won't have to do almost everything to get things moving.

Sometimes it's best to avoid football altogether during international break.

 

[Darko]

If Messi rejected the offer does that mean that barca accepted it ??

The club have no option but to accept the offer if it meets the buyout fee.

Crazy international break this has been. I hope we forget this nonsense by a stunning performance today night. 2 or 3 Goals would be nice but i just want him to have good time on the pitch. Breaking that stupid record will help him in many ways. I have a strong feeling it will happen against sevilla.

imo, I think he's leaving after this season. There's no reason for him to stay, especially if Barca go trophyless again. Which most people think they will. Plus, the transfer ban, not looking good. He has no reason to trust the board.

 

[Ritchie]

Barca is a special case, as we faces a parked bus week in and week out. Not even Real Madrid has that problem, otherwise they wouldn't be able to counter-attack as much as they do..

Even EPL clubs would do the same against Barca. They aren't going to play a high line against Messi, Suarez and Neymar.

We can't compete in Europe without sorting the defence and midfield out. It should have happened in the summer. If it can't happen next summer then it's a write off until at least 16/17 for a league title or real shot at the CL.

Xavi, Alves, Puyol, Pique, Iniesta to an extent all need replacing. That's big money on 3 or 4 top players to sort this team out. The entire Pep team has declined and the only thing we've done about it is sign Neymar and Suarez.

thanks for your propaganda, but your opinion is totally wrong.

Only the player can refuse a proposal after the buyout is met

there was no 'buyout' clause as such, just if a club met that price the club had to inform the player about the offer.
