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

[blue b4 the moon]

Given Messi's close attachment to money I doubt this is a goer. Therefore, it looks like Bartomeu is pissing on Messi's chips for the remainder of his stay there.

Weakness...bottled it....unlucky.

I know there's a split on here about what happened for Messi to stay but my thoughts are above.

Barto telling Messi to respect his contract in terms of 700m release clause and then asking Messi whether he can bail on his contractual obligation of paying the agreed salary. Can't make it up.

So Barca are going to insist on a player observing the absolute detail of a contract but simultaneously asking the said player to vary the terms of that same contract! Nearly as mad as watching the UK Justice Minister say he’s planning to break International Law! We live in mad times ! !

Barto's legacy is already trashed he probably will let Messi walk on a free so in his own head he believes he ruined another year of the greatest players career as some sort of stand against Messi going against him.

Barto’s real issue just now is Barca’s financials going down the pan at a rate of knots that could see him liable for repaying a considerable sum... in that context we might see a few personal differences set aside !

Agree, and still believe he is hoping for a bid

You would think so, he has very few assets who he could sell. Its baffling he seemingly won't negotiate for Messi.

It looks like Koeman has found a place for Greiz, Dembele and Coutinho so none of them will go it looks like.

Bartomeu will ask Messi to lower his salary in his first face to face meeting

If Messi agrees to that he'd be an idiot.

Possibly a further part of the whole ludicrous propaganda war being fought over there. If Messi says no Bartomeu can say "I had to sell him for the good of the club" but Messi looks like the bad guy.

Bartomeu isn't willing to deal. He could point to the equally ludicrous €600m release clause.

 

[Parisian]

Not surprised, this is coming from the club that want to do this to their third highest goal scorer

Hilarious.

Barça is doing exactly what FCBarça was accusing PSG to do. PSG was a "gulag" masquerading as a club, corrupted by the non existent moral standards of their enslaving owners.

I can't take him seriously if he still says he is fan of this "gulag" after all his patronising talk.

And it comes from one of their "good" sources.

I love it !

Spot on!

Are the rumours about Jose Gimenez from Atletico true, anyone ITK?

I honestly don’t give a shit anymore if we sign Koulibaly, Upamecano or Gimenez, just one of them and fast.
