Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[Sterlingfan2000]

Laporta wasn't naive. When he signed be knew the Super League is coming and he was relaxed.
2 Super League season would mean all our debts are gone and we could build the most expensive Stadium.

Then the Superleague sunk like a Titanic and we sunk with it lol

Next time I go to work I'm gonna ask for a bonus for not being late. And another bonus for talking politely to my superiors.

Goodbye Leo, thanks for the memories and goals.

The fact that he's now a teammate of Sergio Ramos makes me laugh 🤣

So you give him a fat loyalty bonus for fullfilling a contract he was already bound to fullfill anyway?

Yes. All top footballers have it.

Don't know why you're so surprised about footballers earning stupid money, many of them for doing nothing. Have you just started following the sport?

No wonder they turn into greedy fuckers.

Is it just me or are we the only club who do loyalty bonuses?

Didn't Laporta say the vast majority of the bonuses during Bartomeu are just basically wages since they are piss easy to obtain? Enter loyalty bonus.

Memphis? Easily marketable.

No even remotely talented enough to be the face of Barca. I am sure he believes that though.

With Depay we can market his rap songs. List them on itunes. With Messi nada, can't hold a tune to save his life.

I think Barca supporters will embrace him if he has decent production. Low salary, background and story will resonate with a lot of people and inspire kids. Laid back personality would never put out a documentary called the decision.

Best case scenario - Laporta was naive or stupid for believing he could pull it off. Doesn't absolve him for lying and the way Messi left.

Worst case scenario - Laporta knew what he was doing as that was his plan to kick start the new era. He could really have the best interest of the club at heart longterm, but that's no way to treat Messi.



He didn't leave, contract was fulfilled so clause gets triggered.

I believe the second option. He is a lawyer. He was also the president of Barcelona before too. I don't think he works on naivety.

It will be something. From Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi to...Depay. We really sank like the Titanic.

lol. Stay strong. Barca is a club characteristic of bad management since 50's. We'll overcome this as well.

Are you this miserable in real life too?

I don't know, the climate is different now. Plus we have this oil clubs plus the very rich EPL. It's gonna be very hard to get back to the very top.
