No they are not valid.

'Why not release Messi when release Vidal, Suarez and Rakitic' is as naive/ignorant or just deluded as it gets.

'Messi should have contract torn up' as club was in 'better place' when signed it is just as bad.

Not once did I say Messi should have his contract torn up. You're just twisting things. I stated we should negotiate a peaceful exit for him and get offers him for him. No other teams are going to come in for him whilst Bartomeu and Messi are fighting. City still might come in for him even after this. We don't know. But my whole point is.... Bartomeu has made it difficult over someone who only has 9 months left on his contract.... and who is 33, and who is on 100m euros a year including bonuses. This is kinda pointless because Messi can sign a pre-contract with a club in January anyway. Imagine if Messi gets injured for the first 3 months of the season. We could have had negotiated a peaceful exit and had a good fee for him. We could have given him the send-off he deserves. But no, Bartomeu is being too stubborn.

The reason I mentioned Rakitic, Vidal and Suarez is because they're allowed to leave without any fuss at all... and they've only been at the club for 5 to 6 years. They haven't contributed to anywhere the amount of success Messi has. I'm not saying Messi should get his contract torn up.

Lionel Messi's statement is NOT him saying he's staying or going - it's him putting his point of view regarding his contract, why he believes still firmly that he has triggered his buy out clause and how he feels he is a free agent.

This whole thing is a shitshow.

Gtfo of here with those bullshit media leaks. Goat stays, he'd have a proper farewell when the time is right

Just came out that Messi still stands that his exit clause is valid and that he should be allowed to leave for free. Basically said La Liga is wrong.

lmao at people telling we would finish in 3rd la liga.
We HAD hit the rock bottom, our players know they fucked big time and motivation would be at highest since, im brave enough to say this, since 2008.
With koeman we could get a workrate back, and thats the only thing that matters.

We would assassinate la liga, but would fell short for cl, even tho even know we have better chance to progress further then in last season

I agree, anything can happen. Even CL! :w000t: Maybe this whole circus storm even helped clear the air and serve as a reset.

End of the day, GOAT won't jump da fence. He'll keep on grazing in Camp Nou's green pastures.
Tattoos ain't no gangsta Prison Break maze :rap:

Best solution imo is to write this up as a short-lived lovers' quarrel and be done with it. And u'all know what usually happens after that.

Messi states his exit clause went on till the end of the season (which is August), so he should be allowed to leave for free.

This is going to go to court.

Take it to court if they're so confident. Won't happen because they know they wouldn't win, so leaking to the media to put pressure on the board is more preferable to them.
