Lionel Messi - v7

DonAK

President of FC Barcelona
Dont doubt Messi mentioned he may want to leave and had done so many times in past.. that is a way to exert influence and get own way also.

For me dont believe he wouldnt provide it in writing or seek legal advice about contract and dates in it if he was serious and had made the decision.

Messi and his team are not naive enough to think just mentioning to Barto he wanted to leave would be enough either.

I don't think Suarez being booted out played that much of a role in his decision or wish to leave. He ended up staying and Suarez was still booted out after being told to train separately by Koeman. If anything I believe his issue was with Bartomeu and not so much with which player stayed or left. He might not have liked it, but he understands it's a business.

But I'm not really interested in arguing back and forth about this. You have your view about last summer's transfer saga and I have mine. You could be right or wrong, or maybe both of us are wrong.

He ended up staying as was on wrong side in contract dispute.

I dont believe he had made the decision to leave prior to Suarez and other amigos being punted.

Could easily have put it in writing prior to that and excuses about not wanting to disrupt season dont wash when claim already trying to leave.

Dont think he liked Valverde being sacked either or Abidal saying players were not training hard enough but came to head with Suarez and other amigos being punted.

He literally said it in the interview !! Was talking about leaving since a year and expressed it directly to barto mid season !!

Messi trying to find excuses to whom ? trolls in the internet ?

I know he said it in interview. Not new news.

As I said Messi has played the card with club not wanting him to go for years. Any player in his position would.

If he was serious put it in writing and use the clause... he didnt.

Then why are you saying the opposite !

Anyway or shape he is doomed for some people here in the forum :

If he stays : the dude is not serious it was a hoax last summer

If he leaves : Messi only cares about money now that Bar?a can't offer him much compared to other clubs

If we read Laporta message again about Messi, things are NOT going well in the negotiation, Messi will not just wat his contract clarified but what will be done for the club next season

As I have said, they're going well. We hope to keep making progress

You guys shouldn't take JamDav seriously, he hates Messi as much as a madridista fan. He also thinks Werner is a great footballer. So, yeah.

Because I dont believe him or think his actions back it up.

Why not put it in writing want to leave club or seek legal advice on contract?

I believe he has mentioned many times about leaving club throughout his time.

So he was bluffing by saying to Barto he wants to leave and barto saying back to him : yes you can leave in summer ?

The dude has an army of lawyers but youd be the first to spit on him if he did go to court against FCB !!

Is there a world where Messi will win with you ? because you keep spinning arguments around to maintain the same narrative..

No I believe he wanted to leave by time season finished and older players were being said to be cleared out and specifically Suarez.

Such an army of lawyers... that not one of them advised him to put it in writing he wanted to leave when claims had mad decision earlier in season. Or at very least get legal advice on dates for clause.
