So be it if he stays. It is clear we have a great squad at the moment, and I believe the priority would be to source so younger additions, that we can have for the next 5+ years.
It would have been great to snare him, but last season because of our disappointing performance in the league, it appeared a better solution. I think with this seasons performance so far, a couple of younger squad additions like Haaland etc, wiill serve us better.

We will see how it goes. It's clear our priority has to be a striker and a LB.
Messi will be a luxury signing. I have said previously, it is a no-brainer - but seeing our 21 match run + our derby defeat : ST and LB needs attention

It’s very possible that Laporta deep down thinks it’s best for the club to let him go

Like I said, wait until Laporta is elected. He's already backtracking on his promises. That was fast :D

Messi is out of contract at the end of the season, he, Messi is the one to make the decision, no one else.

Surely you see tbe massive backtracking on that statement?
Laporta could offer him a million a week, if Messi wants out and has had enough, he will leave.Surely you see tbe massive backtracking on that statement?
Messi looks like a much happier guy in the last couple of months, he seems at peace again, mind made up?

After:
"It will depend on him, I will do what I can, within the economic possibilities of the club”

I think the point of thatbpost was Laporta's backtracking. Before the election it was 'make him an offer he can't refuse' (in that creepy video), and all we have to do everything to keep him.
Now it is 'within the club's economic position'. Sounds like he's already planting excuses
I personally don't think Barca would be unhappy if he left (economics), although the last couple of months, he, Messi looks happy and content, I can see him staying.I think the point of thatbpost was Laporta's backtracking.

The only thing I am afraid of City putting too much effort on the Messi transfer and losing out on our other priorities.
It's a proven fact that bringing a player like Messi from Barca is a whole lot of work than a B.Silva from Monaco.
Our club is absolute professional but they do have a soft spot for Messi and Barcelona.
All the history and connection and all.
I hope they prioritise and deliver on a Haaland/Grealish/Aouar/LB/ CDM and then move to focus on the choppy waters at Barcelona.

I think he's done what I do in elections and wrote Pablo Zabaleta on his slip.Maybe he wrote on the paper “fuck off I’m going to City”?

Messi ignoring elections would be a scandalous situation, of course he's voting
The fact that he's still there is a scandalous situation.
Unfortunately for us, I think enough time has passed and enough has changed at the club for the club and player to have smoothed things over.
I might be wrong but it did seem like it was last summer or never.

Any deal for Messi has been on the table for years, it is definitely not going to distract Txiki away from any other targets.The only thing I am afraid of City putting too much effort on the Messi transfer and losing out on our other priorities.

I think the club are pretty relaxed about Messi. If he tells them he wants to come then I'm sure a deal can be struck fairly easily. I don't think we'll go out of our way to woo him, and certainly don't think it will detract from our other targets.The only thing I am afraid of City putting too much effort on the Messi transfer and losing out on our other priorities.

I'd imagine he would have a serious think if they go out 7-2 or similar.All good till PSG put another 4 past them this week
Then messi needs to have a good think
I think maybe Messi promised to support Laporta's candidacy in return for an easy exit.I think the point of thatbpost was Laporta's backtracking. Before the election it was 'make him an offer he can't refuse' (in that creepy video), and all we have to do everything to keep him.
