Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Coatigan]

Fucked the post up, but this. I accept of course it could be complete bollox

Made me work for that! thanks though, missed the uefa mention previously.

 

[Coatigan]

in my opinion this is absolutely dead in the water, grasping at straws here, i personally believe we have as much chance of signing Messi right now as we did 2 hours before the 2015 CL final. HOWEVER, i must say this is all extremely interesting and could definitely see a world in which a huge twist arises. i don’t think it’ll happen at all but i guess stranger things have

'Sit on my fence, and tell me that you love me...'

True though, quite open to surprises this one

 

[Lavinda Past]

Yea and Gundo, Cancelo, Jesus and the latest is Ederson is signing for them.

Plus, Brian Kidd as next Barca President

what i get from all this: messi actually gave barca the go ahead and agreement to the renewal a few weeks ago, theyve had to rush negotiations in the last week or so since they werent making enough progress to sign it before the 30th june deadline, now barca have managed to finish the agreement but ffp regulations is stopping them from getting messis signature and annoucing it, they cant get messi to sign it without 100% knowing whether he will be allowed to play or not, and this is what laporta is sorting out as we speak

whether he manages to find a solution is the question

officially he is now a free agent and on the market and nothing barcelona can do unless they have a pre-dated contract signed by both club and messi ? so if FFP are monitoring barcelona accounts and they have problems
they will not be in any shape to offer messi a deal ? barca can not even farm the deal out under a sponsorship deal because of the income would be a outside investment

if barcelona are under FFP regulations then no new signing can happen on the clubs books
maybe this is why barcalone want city to sign Fransisco Trincao or some others off there books

FFP is under pressure because of the covid-19 outbreak and they maybe a loop hole written into the laws in the coming weeks. this is maybe why manchester city are holding off on signing anybody because the uefa are going to meet very soon

Uefa adjusts FFP rules with clubs unable to comply this season

Uefa has announced that financial fair play rules will be temporarily suspended to help clubs cover losses due to Covid-19 pandemic

I'm sensing that this friendly we're playing them in must be some sort of charity fundraising game to help them out. No other credible explanation.

I can think of two players that either side need to say goodbye to.

and im not including Garcia

The two Serg's, l see what you did there.

 

[Mad 4 It]

Messi to the fans, nasty ffp has stopped me from resigning there is nothing Barca or I could do. Thanks for everything bye

 

[skillman]

The idea of this friendly makes no sense other than us trying to help Barca out. They hate us and have done for years so why would we help them by playing a friendly at their place after the season has started?

Maybe the Messi goodbye stuff has some legs…

Bartomeu and the Rossell camp had emnity with Txiki and Pep. Laporta has great relationships with them and bad ones with Bartomeu and his crew. It's not necessarily signal on Messi.

 

[SouthStandStander]

Imagine the PPV though?

Messi goodbye, sell out crowd, sponsors, global television audience.

I bet someone could make £50m from it.

Play first half for Barca. Signs contract on the pitch at halftime. Then plays second half for City. Makes sense to me :-)

Just let me cling to any hope, Dobsy.

Would have been great way to swap Sergio and Messi

That article is over a year old mate. They agreed 'emergency' procedures to extend the reporting period for FFP from 3 to 4 years.

Play first half for Barca. Signs contract on the pitch at halftime. Changes ends at half time. Forgets who he is now playing for. Scores an own goal. Pulls his groin doing a high five with Sergio and Garcia. Immediately retires

i did hear they are going to review it again and relax the rules even more so clubs can add to the debt and net spending. uefa are going to promote the new champions league format so need all clubs behind them

i think FFP is dead in the water anyway and manchester city don't even come close to any breach of the rules
and with the scum over the road spending without and sanctions. manchester city should sign who they like for what ever amount of money ?

 

[manimanc]

he’s coming

You said he's coming back in February?
How many fingers am I holding up?

share the dealer‘s info man ;)

 

[bobmcfc]

Wonder why eh

Wonder why eh

This is turning into a soap opera.
Barca won't have so much as a fingernail laid on them, just like the red mardarses over here.

If he wants to take a couple of years out to try his hand at baseball, now's the chance.
