Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[BlueDan91]

The amount of abuse he's getting from some here is staggering. The same that still don't understand that Barca couldn't register him even if he played for free.

No abuse from me, however- are you able to explain as to why he can't be registered? Even if he plays for free? What's the reasons behind that? Cheers!

Q’s are cringe

Was it just me or was Rodri in the audiences?

Barca have to reduce their wage bill quite considerably before they are allowed to register any new players, including Ageuro. So even if Messi played for free Barca are not allowed to register him as a player at this moment.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Q’s are cringe

Definitely. Where is Simon Stone to ask why he’s wanting such an obscene salary when there are people starving in the world?

I'm not sure that is true, but irrelevant now, we can come back to it when it settles.

Because there are now regulations that the wage bill has to be no more than a certain percentage of revenue. Barca said they are at 95% but it needs to be far, far lower than that, even if Messi had no salary.

 

[Coatigan]

says honestly PSG is a posibility, but he has offers and nothing is closed.

Sounds like could be psg, just not the time to say it.

The salary mass even without Messi is 95% of Barca's revenue which is absolutely unstainable and not allowed by la Liga and the FFP/CVC rules. Even with Messi gone, they still have to renegotiate some contracts and offload players to register Depay, Aguero etc.

People just don't realize how much Bartomeu fucked Barca over.

 

[FisHman99]

Not ruling Psg out. Has offers on the table.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Would still like to see him rock up at the Etihad, would score a ton of goals for us in the next two seasons and would be cheaper than Kane.

 

[rickmcfc]

100% PSG bound

 

[Coatigan]

PSG have clearly rushed in, looking to take advantage of of the oppurtunity. Easy decision for him too, given the context. The more he slows it down, the more it levels out PSG's position with a couple others.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Absurd that he is going anywhere else than to us when he finally leaves, considering the rumors for the last 8 years

 

[Coatigan]

100% PSG bound

Possibly, but he was 100% Barcelona bound earlier in the week. He was 100% leaving last year too. Let it play out

 

[meeesh]

He did take a pay cut, but even if he played for free he still couldn't stay.

How do you mean Ric ?

 

[JoeD]

Not ruling Psg out. Has offers on the table.

He's going there, there's no other club who can afford him and a lot of his friends are there. Negotiations have already begun.

 

[samuelyeboah]

he's just being diplomatic, he's off to PSG

 

[BobKowalski]

He’s going to be an emotional wreck this season. Moping around the pitch and blubbing non-stop. PSG will spend a fortune on trauma counselling.

 

[kupest]

Our management gets along with Leo/Laporta, I am hanging onto some hope that maybe we wanted to be respectful and haven't let rumours spread till Messi/Barca speak. I don't see Messi choosing the highest offer over what he wants.
