It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[BlueMedic]

As stated in one of the other pages, it's clear as anything that he needed to get it out there how much he loves Barcelona and despite even making his family unhappy, wanted to be happy somewhere else. It's a final powerplay, inviting a bid to be considered, under the scrutiny of the the world.

There's zero chance he does a Delph and says he's staying only to turn around and leave.

Stick a fork in this, it's done.

 

[RayCTID]

He is just paving his way clear .

Nah its over. There isn't much time left to go.

 

[LIBlue]

Best part though, is City have never been officially mentioned once in all of this, all conjecture.

;-)

Share with us what you know.

It is not that Messi stays. Is that Messi did not find how to leave

Sam Lee says we have a an alternative to messi, who tho Lautauro is shit, felix isnt going to leave Athletico, harry Kane injury prone out for 4 months every season. Whos left to be an alternative?

On further reflection I think this interview is designed to engineer a bid.

He's said he wants to go. He's said he wont go to war with the club he loves. He's shown no aggression or confrontation. He's been "nice". He's made the world feel for him.

As of today, theres been no bid, no tangible suitor. No one officially wanting him.

A bid goes in now and it changes the dynamic.

The pressure on Barca would be off the scale.

Some of our fanbase really haven’t come out of this with much credit.
Calling him all sorts of **** is way over the top.

Agreed, it's ridiculous.

 

[CITYROBBO]

This time next year he'll still be at Barca. New contract, new President, Xavi will be his manager, and his wife and kids wont have worry about moving to Beswick
We've been had, again.

Common sense at last! Thanks mate..

 

[p.taker]

What's with the anger against Messi? He's done everything he could. If Barca sues him and win the case in court, it will be City paying the fine. Maybe we (and his lawyers) have advised him to stay to avoid a court case.

Immaturity

 

[OrigamiNinja]

it isn't. this isn't about making sure bartomeu loses, it can't be, because he isn't standing for re-election. he can't.

No but it can be about the next president knowing his place.
