A messi Conference through the Barcalona offical channels.

Bit odd I'd have thought. Unless it is just a farewell video?

Hope we stay far away from this to be honest
One last chance to get Tebas to buckle me thinks.

They will hope doing it though an official channel, saying goodbye to fans and club he doesn’t want to leave may have the desired effect

Hopefully it works, he stays and he digs the club into a deeper hole.

He’s only moving on because he has to and not that he wants to and for that reason I’m happy we are not involved.
 
The Sun is always entertaining. Today they have four stories on Messi. One says he will sign for PSG. The second says he prefers to play for Pep and will sign for us. The third is PSG cant afford him and Mbappe but have no intention of letting Mbappe go which means they will not sign Messi. The fourth is that we are not interested in Messi now we have signed Grealish.

What to believe !
 
Laporta must have known a deal was highly unlikely for quite some time..
And kept Messi at Barca or associated with Barca for as long as possible so as nobody else would come in for him.
I mean did laporta think Messi was Peter pan and that he'd stay young forever?
He had to leave one day, they've had years to get used to it and in hindsight Messi is indirectly the cause of all this, though obviously laporta and the previous Barca owners are guilty as charged.

What a complete mess!
 
This all boils down to comments on a couple of fake Twitter accounts and two journalists taking a flyer on what’s happening - everything else being reported is a rehash of these.

I recon he announces he’s staying at Barca tomorrow, or it’s tearful goodbye, or retirement.

If he is going somewhere else I don’t think we find out till next week.
Hes an absolute fucking drama queen. All this latest bollocks has swung me to 75/25 against wanting him.

Its like having him as the player/legend/GOAT/once in a lifetime chance is there and won't go away but all the shit that comes with him outweighs it for me.
 
I think the little bastards is playing PSG. He's have signed the deal by now if he's that serious. Waiting for double the offer from somewhere else.

He's In for a surprise methinks.
Highly unlikely.

The old guard like Busquets, Piqué, Xavi have already tweeted their farewells. Same for Koeman and some of the current FCB players.

He's gone. To PSG.

I think laporta is smart. He let Messi go even if Messi wanted to stay because he didn't want to handicap the club for 50 years getting into that cvc deal. Bartomeu was an idiot. He would have got 100M for Messi and instead kept him and now he goes on a free transfer to the club who were the architect of barca's failure
 
Think the press conference tomorrow is a proper farewell with all his trophies and all that stuff, realistically you'd think he could take his time over the weekend reviewing all offers and all the PSG stuff is coming from their leaks and very much is the most likely option, even though it would be fun to see him at city I can't see it now and think he will be a PSG player next week (then we will get them in the champions league group stage and beat them twice)
 
All that bullshit last year about how he wanted to come to us. And then this year, when he really is a free agent, straight in talks with PSG. Did we even get a look in?

Because life isn't so simple and circumstances change.
He no doubt was willing to sign for us last year, anybody denying that is in cloud cuckoo land. Sadly this news he's been released seems to have come at the worst possible time for us.
I'm sure if we could make the figures work, Messi and his advisors will have been made aware.

Totally agree. Tired of being told that he's the victim here and we should all cry ourselves to sleep about it. Fuck that.
 
Said on the Kane thread ,i still think he might end up with us.

I think the prospect of a reunion with Pep, and a Champions League win Swan Song before joining our New York City FC franchise will be very tempting.

Roy of the Rovers stuff.

Messi joining us and winning our first Champions League.

Would love to see him in the Premier League rather than wasting away in France.

Think most rational people are watching on with a passing interest and probably managing not to cry or feel sorry for him.

If Messi still thinks he's got it then he should be getting over here and giving it a go.
 
I am gutted and surprised that City seemingly do not want Messi now. The years of chasing him, the club playing the same style as Barcelona.

Throw in Pep, Txiki and Soriano and it makes no sense that we did not know what was happening at Barca. Pep was seen over the summer with Laporta and has openly stated that he is in regular contact with Koeman.

It doesn’t add up. If anyone knows the inner working of Barca/Messi you would think it’s us.
