Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[RayCTID]

Bartolmeu is still in charge and he will not listen to offers. Unless he is suddenly removed from power then Messi isn't going anywhere despite their debt. Tebas is still hanging about as well

 

[Damanino]

As of Sunday, #ManCity were ‘content’ with how things were progressing with Lionel Messi, and sources claim that he even reiterated his desire to join the club on Friday morning. [via
@TheAthleticUK

Question is here did he tell City today morning the exact content of his interview which they released in the afternoon. Or that he is gonna publish it.

Based on Tolmie's source, the positivity, "Abu Dhabi done it",and the get the servers ready, this is not what was expected by City imo.

Well not many players could do this against the president/CEO/owner of the club.

And then welcomed back in trainings and he is not even gonna get any punishment for missing a week of training as I heard. He deffo has separate rules for him lets be honest.

Agree. When they say no player is bigger than the club I think that excludes Messi.

To the Koulibaly thread ........ then when he signs elsewhere we move on to the next one ....

Didn't put up much of a fight did they

A brief summary of events so far: 1:22PM: Jorge Messi denies €700M release clause 1:45PM: La Liga prepare response to Jorge Messi 2:01PM: La Liga reiterate €700M release clause is valid 2:04PM: TyC Sport claim Lionel Messi has decided to stay

Some nice praise for City fans here.

I've still not given up on Isco coming!

Well I'm hopeful Paul Stewart completes his return and Geoff Thomas finishes the last leg of his walk from Wolverhampton, somebody tell him we've moved Grounds.

i just watched the interview messi put out bloody hell its was painful

the lad does not want to be at barca and messi looked close to the edge ? its powerful and the hate for the owner/boss is damaging to barca. they have push messi to far and the fans will turn on the people running the club

messi has give everything to barca and they treat him like this ? messi will not be made to play for barca, ok they will see a player in the number 10 shirt but its not going to be messi and the image that messi will but out playing for barca will be worst than last season

Good job she didn’t look on here :)

I disagree. I think a deal is still on in January.

 

[citytill1die84]

He's still the GOAT, I can't fault the guy, any of us die hard blues would have done the same thing.

Although I still don't think this is over.

 

[kupest]

January, as in a precontract?

 

[p.taker]

I disagree. I think a deal is still on in January.

Lots of post scrubbing will be on tap after all the name calling earlier today.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

For me this is all about the brand for us and global exposure. From a footballing perspective I don’t think it’s what we need currently. If we don’t sort our problems at the back and in defensive midfield then it’s more of the same next season.

Tbf don’t think he can complain about his treatment at Barca he’s been richly rewarded and has been a god there. He might want a change but he’s hardly suffered

Ha ha!!!

 

[davek1808]

Couple of half hearted performances and they'll want him out Asap, come January any power the board think they hold is gone, he can sign for us and then they'll want to deal.

 

[Ric]

January, as in a precontract?

Yeah.

 

[FCBarca]

its irrelevant as it’ll go to a court appointed by CAS/FIFA not La Liga or Barça

In an appeal, many months from now. Initially, it'd be in Spanish courts - you know, where he actually signed his contract and the country/league he has played in

It makes some sense from his side to avert that and I loved what he had to say about it all today - still it's crushing to accept he's being held against his will by the club he has given everything to

But elect shite leaders and you get shite decisions - I hope Bartomeu is censured and ultimately ends up in jail but corrupt clowns seem to have a way of averting what they deserve
