Lionel Messi - v7

[Hamzah]

Can you blame them ?

He said this a few months ago

What I want is to win, and for there to be a solid project around me. It is the most important. I eat and live football and the sports project is very important. There is only one club that wins the Champions League every year, but you have to feel that you are leaving with a team that wants to win.

We will discuss with the club and we will see what will happen. Either way, I?ve always been happy here. I understand that everyone is waiting for my answer. We?ll do things in order.?

PSG currently has the best transfer window compared to other clubs and he is still being a snake and delaying signing a new contract.

I commend Mbappe actually, leaving a better project to go to a proper club. PSG, City and Chelsea have ruined football and I respect any player who either avoids them or leaves to join one of the traditional powerhouses who earned their position

Won't be surprised if Mbappe renews, but only for two or three years to play out these years with Messi & Neymar before he moves to a Real Madrid that is in a more stable situation.

Thinking Mbappe could be a moral beacon in football....lol

MAsterful move by Laporta !!

Tebas tried to essentially threaten Barca (less RM who are in no need to renew, sign players atm): Either you ditch the Superleague for ever OR you can't have Messi.

Laporta replies with this, making clear that he will never abandon the Superleague (and rightfully so) for the good of the club.
But at the same time, he is firing back at Tebas:
EITHER you cave in and accept exceptions to the wage cup to register MEssi (which practically means that the wage cup is UDERMINED in general, as exception once means a permanent state of exception)
OR Messi leaves and the whole world puts the blame on LaLiga and comes down to history like that.

I must say, it's a mastermind move.
It's sad if Messi leaves the club like that, but from a political pov LaLiga will destroy its reputation irreparably after such an event

Then he should just be honest instead of snaking around but I guess he mastered being a snake from Neymar.



Nasser doesn't sell. Either you renew or get the B team treatment.

I think Mbappe also might want to leave for free to pocket some handsome sign-on fees next summer from Real Madrid as a reward.

I'm not saying he is a purist of the game, but the end result is that a good player leaves one of the oil clubs to a team with history and passionate fans. Even if it's Real I don't mind, it's needed for the good of football.

Barca fans shouldn't be happy to see that.

PSG just gonna sign Haaland if Mbappe leaves anyway.

We're fucked either way.

Maybe the effects of a move like that will be good for football. But pretty sure Mbappe does not care for any of that.

 

[Horatio]

Yeah, was thinking the same. Last time I checked Barca is still a La Liga team.

 

[DonAK]

Hopefully we're not completely broke next summer and have a chance to land Haaland, but god knows what the after effects of this mess will be.

Barca isn't fucked, there is a generation of young talents coming through and if the finances are under control over the next couple years Barca will be in for top players like usual. Madrid are going through their rebuilding phase and can still attract Mbappe. Barca will always attract the world's best superstars.

It's a rebuilding process...

 

[Horatio]

I am ready to face whatever @(#* storm head on.

Doubt Haaland will want to go to PSG but if we can't get him so be it, we bide our time and wait for the next star... There will not be another Messi or Ronaldo but there might be another Mbappe or Haaand or whoever.

That one guy that ate a bat in China must truly feel shite right now. All because of him.
