Lionel Messi - v7

[Katarina1]

If Messi is being offered 600-700m over 5 years, maybe the solution is him taking a 100m paycut off that and City using that as the transfer fee.

I was listening to Duncan Castles and he said that people around Barto think selling Messi is the right sporting move, but Barto won't because he doesn't want to be the president who lost Messi. Messi going to City for a reasonable offer is best for all parties, but now won't happen because of how it would affect Barto's legacy.

I still dont get this logic. He is already going down as the worst barca president, what legacy?
Also if Messi signs a contract in january to leave next summer for free that is still on him.

If City wont bid this summer do you want club to let him go for free?

If they dont and Messi signs in January then that is what contract has always allowed.

At this point, if messi wants to leave he should be willing to take it to court. Can't rely on any good faith from an unscrupulous snake like Barto. Just trigger a unilateral break of a contract(either with the end-of-season clause or Weber ruling), hire world class attorneys, and let the judges decide. By all precedents Ive heard the sum will be smth around 100 mill(which would be a fair price now) and in any case by the time we get a judgement Barto will be long gone. Heck next board might even withdraw the case. In the meantime Messi can get a provisional certificate from FIFA and move to city. Sometimes in life you've just got to take a stand or be pushed around by ppl who dont follow any kind of moral code.

Dude you should go to FC Messi forum.

I think Messi hatred against Bartemou will be infinity. He literally keeping him like a Prisoner

 

[blaugrana1987]

Him staying would be nightmare scenario. I think I wont watch a game we play until he leaves. Safe to say after this relationship between Messi and Barca is beyond repair, this is terrible look for club and player that has degraded to laughing stock of football world.

We'll need years to get back to Mas Que Un Club.

Aye prisoner on 1m a week on contract he signed....

If clause is met he will go if not he is being kept on contract he signed.

The 'prisoner' can buy his freedom for the a large chunk of the millions City will pay him.

That statement was always bullshit probably, troughout most of their history FC Barcelona have been a poorly run club.

They just got lucky with a great player generation and having the greatest player of all time playing for them for 16 years.

Yeah Messi and Neymar are prisoners on a 1 mil per week salary. Life is particularly hard in Paris and Barcelona! I feel sorry for them, I think I am even gonna cry now...

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Messi has to go now. The relationsship between him and Barcelona is broken.

0-4 PSG
0-3 Juve
0-3 As Roma
0-4 Anfield
2-8 Bayern

What happened to Fc Barcelona ? The team from 2008-2011 would have destroyed all of them.

 

[Barcilliant]

He has to go. Best for both parties.

 

[Sterlingfan2000]

He has to go. Best for both parties.

Barto thinks otherwise

 

[Messi983]

Also why are players like Pique so quiet? That guy always has something to say. Especially when there's controversy. Now, he's like a mouse.

What do you expect Pique to say in current situation? Which side should he slide with? His friend or the club that has made him what he's today and still pays him high wages? Nobody can really stay neutral as is evident from diverse opinions we have here and it's even harder for someone who's directly involved (as Messi's friend and an employer of the club). Whatever he'd say people would complain about his words and it could create even more controversy so it's better to stay quiet. His job is to train and play, not to talk.

Actually it's better. I like it this way. They must keep their mouth shut after 8-2.

And a tactically amazing coach.

Best Clasico record out of any manager.

Best UCL win % in the world.

Nearly took a team in crisis to an undefeated season.

Dismantling Real Madrid without Messi.

Playing incredible football at times giving us a tease of what the club could do without the seniors

So why arent there any top clubs up this super duper uber mega hyper coachs ass begging him to come?

Juve want the CL, why did they chose a Pirlo with 0 experience when Fraudverde is available?

Pep failed to beat Lyon and has failed in CL for a few years now, why dont City take a chance on Fraudverde? I mean, he is amazing tactically and has the best win % out of all managers in CL. Why cant any top club see it? *mind blown*
