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

[r.soleofsalford]

I'm only getting the drip of very broad strokes from someone connected that I have known for a long time. As far as Messi is concerned, he doesn't want City giving Barca a damn penny.

It takes it out of his own!

Just for confirmation. I wouldn`t give Barca the steam off my piss either.

You heard it here first.

I'm willing to forgive the incorrect American dating system if this happens.

The problem either way would be all the fucking about if it has to go to court.

If FIFA can step in, then all good.

(Never thought I'd ever be saying that)

FIFA authorise the transfer and then Barcelona, or maybe even La Liga?, can sue City.

It could start again.

If FCB know that Messi is about to press the button, they may negotiate. Ideally I don't think City, Barca or Messi want to go through the courts.

Here's what Barca were considering doing to PSG to get Neymar back . . in March of this year.

If Messi is proven to be under contract then this would seem a reasonable approach for us to take.

Barcelona consider using little-known FIFA rule Article 17 to re-sign Neymar

Barcelona are desperate to re-sign Neymar and could resort to desperate measures

Kåre Ingebrigtsen (ex City player) did take Rosenborg to court for firing him, and a court case will only be bad PR for player/manager and the club if they loses.

In short, get ready for boiled piss on an unprecedented scale. It will make CAS look like a minor gloating session.

Maybe? Or maybe there's some excitement to see Messi in the Premier League, and disbelief that after 20 years of football, Bartomeu should seek to trap him in red tape.

FIFA don’t decide, they issue and process the paperwork. I suspect Messi is just going to sign for City and Barca will take him to court. The court will rule whether he was within his rights to leave for free due to Covid extending the season. If he wasn’t they will look to see if the £700m release clause expired in the 4th year of his contract (this seems cut and dry as the exact working in the contract has leaked). If there’s no clause but he shouldn’t have left for free, the court will decide an appropriate fee taking in to account his age, wage, profile and probably Ronaldo’s fee as he also moved at 33 and matches Messi’s profile.

FIFA have adjudicated on transfer value of a player exiting a contract as far as I remember ?

It could be challenged in court.

Both I think.
