As I’ve already said, I don’t want Messi to leave but no amount of pressure from him is going to make a difference. His pressure can’t force other clubs to release their players. Then we have the precarious position that Messi is putting the club in with his refusal or delay in signing the papers.
Do you think Barça can allow him the freedom of openly negotiating with other clubs purely because he is Messi or wait for him to consider proposals that come his way. It’s ridiculous. I’m a Barça fan not a Messi fan so it’s either he signs the contract he’s already agreed to or comes out and says I want to leave or is considering it. There are 7 weeks until he can do as he pleases...
Edit: Your married couple comparison makes no sense. It’s like me openly allowing my wife to flirt with other men with the expectation that she remain faithful for a period (no pun intended) only to file for divorce on a certain date.
You missed my initial statement
"Stick with your spouse through the good times and the bad times". The present times are not even that bad, think Milan for example
In the process of sticking out, he can pressure the board to improve the team. If they fail still "stick it out"
It doesn't necessarily involve discussing with other teams, but there's a lot more he can do to pressure the board.
Not signing thus far is one of them, hinting on reasons for his delay in media when called upon is another.
He has a unique position.
When Messi coughs the whole football world listens.
Even if it fails, stick it out. Messi may have ambitions etc.
But the club also has given him all he wants throughout his career. Found him, helped build him up in la masia, paid his expensive medical treatment, gave him A fine team, Fine mentors, a pay raise whenever he wanted and he has a huge say on whatever the club does sporting wise.
And he has given back to the club through his performances.
If he can't hold on during these temporary bad times (yeah we are in trouble
) says a lot about his love fot the club in the first place. Just letting go because of a temporary bad patches, just because of the self centered big ambitions?
Some spouses (like me hopefully) would hold on to my spouse even when she gets a cervical spine injury and lays vegetatively, ventilator depended the rest of their lives because it is not about me, it is about us.
