Hope that's due to the Barca tosser holding onto Messi Senior's leg to stop him leaving.As of 7 minutes ago it has been reported by Hagrid that the meeting is still ongoing.
The longer the meeting (assuming they're not briefing the media/talking directly to Messi the more worrying it is). It only takes 10 seconds to walk-in & say "Fuck you my boy's off to City".
Or "I's stil' goin' an" for book readers

Not if he needs to persuade Bartomeu to let him go. If this "Messi is a free agent" thing was genuinely the case we'd have him signed by now.
Barca are trying to strengthen their bargaining position by saying Messi is not for sale. Their aim is to force us to pay as much as possible.
But Barca are in a weak position. The only thing Messi needs to do to undermine it is to say that he won't play football until he becomes a free agent. If Messi says something along these lines, the deal will be done relatively quickly with City giving Barca 80-100m + Garcia.
If Messi or his father don't say something to this effect, it will take a lot of time for the deal to happen, say 4 weeks from now. I think it is not likely to happen this or next week anyway. Barca need time to placate their fans and go from 'we're not selling Messi' to 'ok, we have no choice and have to sell him'.

Pulis was in The Times at the weekend and somewhat surprisingly he was all in favour of this deal happening. “Club Shop” said Messi would smash it and even reckoned he could do it on a wet Wednesday night at Stoke.
Yes I read that. Pep & Pulis get on really well, bizarrely.

Messi's father has an office in barcelona? wtf?
Edit: also, why is he in the office? Who said it was going to be brought forward?
What the hell is going on?

Someone misheard surely. Think they meant to say Bartomeu was an orifice in Barcelona.

Speaking with lawyers and Messi etc?Messi's father has an office in barcelona? wtf?
What’s your feeling mate? Has it gone beyond that do you reckon?
I think a transfer of this magnitude will end up taking far less time than I would imagine tbh
Of course, I feared it would become this acrimonious. With Barto flirting with disaster, I look forward to his demise

The longer the meeting goes, the chances of their being a friendly exit goes up. By the same token Jorge could walk out, Barto could do the same thing by stating he has a 700m release clause and refusing to budge.

They’re right, that is insane.
This is big.
By not showing up for the meeting, Bartomeu has shown Jorge Messi disrespect and pettiness. This isn't the attitude of a guy who is trying to persuade a player to stay... this is the attitude of someone who knows they've already lost and wants to kick Messi on the ass as he leaves.
