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

I can't believe I am writing this, but I think we have got him.

There might even be a player/financial gesture on our part but if Messi sticks to his guns...

well, you've really stuck your neck out on this one.

How does it get the stage where Lionel Messi and Barcelona are arguing with each other over the fine print of a contract? Its a sorry state of affairs no matter who is right or wrong. Look at what Khaldoon said regarding the departures of Kompany and Silva and what will happen with Aguero. Chalk and cheese.

Agree 100% - the problem that the Barca board have now (amongst a long list of problems) is that they are basically skint and have a valuable asset just walking away...

Not sure Bravo did, Carson was on bench.

But get what you mean.

Bravo was in CL games.

Gundogan and Gundogan would be better.

That famous Turkish law firm...

A difference. We were quite happy to let them go. Silva not a guaranteed starter. And VK injury prone and fading.

Messi is probably still the best player in the world. I agree it's very mean spirited to treat him this way. But his market value is way higher than DS, Kun and VK combined. They are also in financial trouble.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Yeah but Messi isn't "out of contract" so it doesn't matter... he's contracted till next year so the only question is how the "get out of jail free" clause is worded and if Messi's camp are correct about it or not?

You miss my point. Those players being forced to extend until the end of the actual season is a legal acknowledgement that the season had not yet ended (thus Messi is correct)

La Liga will be fecked next season. Thier 2 biggest stars gone within 12 months.

incidentally, saw Barca fans demonstating outside the Camp Nou, on sky. Guy at the front had a full spurs kit on. I feckin dispair.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Yes, and then he gets paid £2mil per week when in US to make up for getting paid less whilst at City...

;-)

would be a twist on "no win, no fee". It would just be "no win" with Silkay in charge.
