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

[lancs blue]

What the chairman says in a video and what is written into a contract are 2 different things.

If they are 2 different things that shows Bartomeu up to be even more of an incompetent twat.

This is gonna take a long time to resolve isn't it?

Messi now going public serves City on a number of fronts.

He gets to establish the narrative it is for footballing reasons why he wants to leave. It would also bring Barca fans and most of football behind him.

Instead of Barca fans trying to convince him to change his mind, they basically become City's biggest ally.

Can see Messi's video to the fans going out tonight.

He can't leave it now with training tomorrow.

Nah. It’ll be Thursday. Using the American format, that‘s 9 3 20

The answer is in what Messi has done so you think he would sent that fax if there was any doubt about the contract! Look at his career form character and his personality while at Barcelona, he ain’t no fool.

So if Messi signs before midnight does that make @Ezzy correct seeing as he's the equivalent of 6 new signings?

If you believe the reported earnings of 100million per year and how could we comply with FFP, each day this drags on saves us 275k per day. Every penny counts!

Where did these earnings figures come from?

Do you have a time frame for him going ppublic or would you hazard a guess it's sometime soon due to the La Liga nnouncment?

And once he makes a public statement, it's very difficult to unwind. People don't forget and they have egos.

Barcelona have already made one miscalculation if they have forced Messi into confict with their club. The image of Barca as a footballing model was hard own over many years. They don't want to rubbish it overnight.

"Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb."
