Messi and his family still can't believe what has happened. Leo could not believe that his 21-year association with FC Barcelona could come to an end in such an abrupt and unexpected manner. [sport]

Feel for him

Lol, sign for one year on a very low sum and the club will repay you after a while after the finances are better.

Messi is basically unhappy a financially damaged club can't pay him around 40-50m a year.

PSG have zero CLs and the Champions of France are Lille :coffee:.

So does ManCity ... and chelsea before 2012 and FCB before 92 !

They started from zero in 2010.

Now without Messi & our reputation to the ground which means no sane good player will ever join us, it's by by CL for the next decade.

Ffs what don't we understand here? He could have agreed to play for 1 euro a week and he wouldn't have been registered because we are that far over. Without him we still need to cut 25% to even register our new signings. It's got nothing to do with what he asked for regardless we couldn't keep him

Rubbish. You can reinvest 25% of what you save. Messi is asking for a huge salary. The issue is we have no hope of saving such a huge amount.

If he'd be willing to help out the club, he could be signed, but he isn't because of money.

The saga is Laporta didn't had the guts to tell this since the beginning he waited 24 hours before the limit to tell them and us he kept repeating the same shit 'it nearly a done deal' which only proves he is as bad as Barto in term of management.

Forget Messi, if FCB was a company and Laporta a manager he will be flipping burgers by the weekend.

Laporta knew half the fanbase is unreasonable and Messi obsessed. He prolonged this as much as possible hoping in a positive outcome.

People would have said Laporta gave up too early if he was blunt and sincere from the start.

FFP. It's not just the salary limit we are in contravention of we are well over FFP, that's the meaning of '95% salary mass'

Messi debut with the first team at 16 (Porto friendly) and leaves at 34. We enjoyed 18 years of him.

I personally don't care if he is leaving to earn more. In the context of football players pay, he deserves what he will be earning at PSG.

Barcelona will suffer a bit but respond quicker than most will realise.

Quite frankly we needed a kick in the arse like this as we have been applying patchwork for too long.

As for Messi at PSG. Let's see how that goes. There is a reason Neymar had been wanting out and it's not because he loved Barcelona.

I think the foolishness is on Barca, we paid him an insane salary even before this proposed 40-50m that we couldn't keep up with. Griezmann salary is still insane, hopefully, this insane salary thing stops

Nobody talking about a public announcement but he could have been upfront with Messi, the thing is Laporta himself was clueless and delusional.

This guy is president of FCB because the previous one was a disaster and some nostalgia.

The way he was dragged into the SL just proves he had no plan whatsoever, a juvenil accountant would have seen the situation miles away given the numbers provided.

He also managed to offload ZERO dead weight a total failure.

We have no sporting director per say and our president is Laporta & our Coach is Koeman.

so for your previous remark : hell yeah we can predict the next decade.

I don't care either. I always believed he's a bit of a greedy cunt off the field. This is predictable for me.

Next season is very exciting.
