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

Surely Messi can say that he is buying his contract out, if there is a ruling against him ?

Well this is what I thought, however Sky have never brought this into consideration.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Seen a few items saying Messi approached us, I’m wondering now if that’s a deliberate ploy in an attempt to leave us out of the equation legally ?
just a thought anyway .

If Messi stated his intention to buy himself out of his contract ( in the event it is ruled that his get out free clause is invalid) then the dispute must surely be between him & Barca ?

We would be signing a free agent & negotiating only with Messi.

I hope he doesn’t do a ‘Gerrard’ on us....and I’m not referring to feeding Demba Ba.

They are a bunch of dicks though tbf.

Because Messi is adamant he's leaving for nowt and Barca are now on a war footing with City as a result.

There is presently no negotiation between the two clubs as a result.

I will interested to see what comes out of the Barca press tomorrow.

could be calling Pannick back on the dance floor ?

Pep wants him on a plane next week!!!!

This could get very ugly in the next 48 hours.

The contact in Abu Dhabi says he is ours.

Absolutely zero reason to doubt him either.

Bloody hell. I'm gonna stop posting tonight or I won't get any sleep.

Sounds like more encouraging movement on Koulibaly too.

thanks tolm, legend.

So at most, he would have to pay Barca for one season & we could agree to cover it ( preferably when he retires & visits Abu Dhabi).

I would have thought so.

Doesn’t FIFA article 17 allow him to do it? Due to the Webster ruling...

If he decides to just walk away and we signed him as a free agent, then FIFA ruled against Messi because his get out clause was invalid, we both would be liable for compensation and think we would also get a transfer ban as well.

Both parties must be 110% sure if going down this route otherwise it could backfire considerably

in regards the Webster ruling I’m not sure on the ins and outs of that or the potential timescales involved. Perhaps someone with better knowledge could lend an insight?

Haha Eric Garcia chose the wrong window to ask for a transfer.
