No not from a legal stand point. Lot and ifs and buts but if that clause is the legal argument and if his buyout is the reported 700m then if Messi lost the case he would be liable for that figure. A judge may decide to lower the fee (probably likely since he’s in his last year) but that amount could still be 250m say. Now if Messi doesn’t pay that himself Barca are allowed to seek it from whoever he signs for.
Coupled with an expensive legal trial, we are talking way more than maguire.
I imagine we’ll end up paying a maguire fee to avoid any possibility of a trail. Unless messi’s legal position is solid!

Mad that if he were linked with any other English club it would be on the news 24/7. The media agenda against us is so obvious. How people claim it doesn’t exist is beyond me

His buyout clause isn't 700 mil apparently, that was last season. He now doesn't have one.
So it would possibly be condiderably less than Maguire.

Damn you're really going through every page mate? That's some commitment.

So it's now a Webster 'buy-out'? If that is routine, then maybe Barcelona are better off just negotiating an amicable exit knowing that a transfer fee will be somewhat limited.
If that’s true then absolutely.
A lot depends on who he is playing with.
Also, he has obviously been shit/declined since 2013 as in the 13/14 season he only scored 41 compared to the 60 he got the season before and the 73 the season before that!
Yes, messi would surely be best buying out his last year of his contract and us giving him that back as a signing on fee?
Is this from that shit programme where 4 sycophant juornos talk bollocks - I have genuinely forgotten the name temporally it is that long since I have watched it?
I thought that I heard it had been dumped
Might be worth seeing on catch-up - just to see the squirming;-)

73 goals lol. Just that that number sink in.
In that case we're nearly there? Who needs Mino Raiola?

73 goals and 35 assists.
It's basically 2x as many goals and 2x as many assists as Aguero and KDB's best seasons combined.
It does make you wonder what he's going to do if he comes here. The mard arse brigade are unhappy with his 31 goals and 26 assists in 44 games last year, but you have to remember that's the worst season of Barca's recent history.
Suarez falls off a cliff. Messi has to become a midfielder because there's no creativity in midfield, Griezman's arrival has them experimenting with formations and roles to force him into the side, the coach leaves midseason because the football is so bad, and the Spanish equivalent of Eddie Howe takes over.
Mid season Messi finds out the board has paid a PR company to attack him and his family on social media, coronavirus hits, the political aspect of the club goes into hyperdrive building up to the election.
I expect him to be a lot closer to his 18/19 output of 51 goals and 21 assists in 50 games. Maybe a bit lower because he won't have to do everything himself, but maybe the better players around him compensates for that.
