Lionel Messi - v7

[JamDav1982]

Really? So what, the likes of Depay, Emerson, Garcia now count against the cap even though they aren't registered?

Thought that only registered players count for the cap.

Cant just not register existing players and then not count them in LFP.

New players I am not sure but dont think they would count as never registered.

The video to announce Messi's renewal was ready. Messi thought he was going to join his teammates in training tomorrow. It took everyone by surprise.

If you can't beat PSG, join PSG.

If you can't beat psg join a team that easily beat them

Laporta most definitely thought of every possible solution. I sincerely believe he wanted Messi to stay as much as the next fanboy in here.

With plan A (sell players) not working, he put into place plan B a bit less than a month before the transfer window closes, hoping that Tebas will budge.
I doubt there's a plan C, maybe to pay off players their contracts so that they leave, but that would be extremely expensive just to keep Messi for a couple of years.

Expensive contracts of non-performers are only part of the problem. High amortisations (and La Liga counting them into the salary cap) are the bigger one and you can't solve that by relieving players. The amortisations of expensive players like Griezmann, Frenkie, Coutinho and Dembele is killing Plan C. Tebas budging is the only way out. I doubt he will. This thing is done and we can be happy if we can registrate Memphis, Emerson, Aguero and Garcia.

Shame he doesn't go to Bayern. Could enjoy him there.

He will budge brother I can yell louder than any eagle and I will be outside his offices as soon as I can

If he wants to be the GOAT of shitting on one's own legacy, please, go to PSG.

You need to calm down. It isn't the end of the world. lol

 

[Messi983]

He'll sign for Inter Miami and they'll loan him back to us.

Calma how many times do i have to get yall to remain calm he isn't fucking leaving i gurantee it

No matter what a salary cap of 160m which is on the level off Villarreal is ridiculous and hard to overcome no matter who is in charge, Laporta or not.

If the value of La Liga's next TV deal comes down significantly and I expect it to be down, it is on Tebas.

Sooner or later Messi will have to leave and we will have to go through a period of rebuild. We do have some promising players coming through the pipelines so it is not all doom and gloom.

Some might think the way we announced his departure today was "cold", I tend to agree but I think the club statement did it well to say the club and Messi reached an agreement for him to renew but it couldn't materialize because of La Liga's salary cap. The club clearly indicated the blame was not on Messi, ie. Messi wanting more money all of sudden etc.

Having Messi is still better than not having him. Of course eventually he would leave/retire. But it is kind of shitty to lose the best player around and keep Dembele, Coutinho, Umtiti, Griezmann.

Talks between PSG & Lionel Messi are expected to rapidly intensify - the Argentine is excited by the idea of playing with Neymar - Sky Italia
