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

[Rammy Blue]

Messi was to put a statement out on social media yesterday.

Seemingly, someone gave him a Pep talk that it would not be right to go about it this way and that Barcelona fans need to be respected and hear it directly from the horses mouth.

Far too political for me all this!!

Let’s hope whoever is pushing the ”button” has the cojones to do it....

they can demand all they want, worst case Messi buys out his contract. They’ll never see anything like €700m, that’s a fantasy number invented should someone want to buy him outside of this crazy walk away clause he has.

Why has nobody in the news streams even mentioned this could happen?

I am not doubting this btw, just curious.

Even if all of Tolmie's information turns out to be complete BS, I would still forgive him as this has made for a fun week the like of which we'll probably never have again!

A Pep talk you say.

All seems to be under control.

would it suit their agenda? Answer that first... pushing the €700m narrative makes City look bad, it help Barça save face, so many reasons not to go that route.

Messi has filmed a 'to-camera' piece in the last 24 hours.

It is directly to the Barcelona fans explaining his decision for asking to leave.

Let's hope it's not a rally for them to fight his corner

A ‘Pep’ talk you say? Surely only Pep can give one of these?

The framing of this is quite important.

It feels like the media have lost sight of the fact Barcelona had an agreement with Messi that he could leave for free if he told them on a date that has been about 10 days after the end of the season every year for 50 years.

A once in a lifetime global pandemic shifted the football calendar and moved the dates, so now Barcelona's board are trying to use that technicality to trap him at Barcelona.

Messi needs to speak publicly and frame it that way, and the fans will turn on Bartomeu. In the Athletic podcast they said that 20% of fans already thought he should be let go for free according to a poll on Wednesday.

Messi, if he wants to go for free, needs to speak out about it. And Puyol, Xavi, Pique etc. siding with him publicly and saying he should go would be very helpful too.

If the video piece from Messi is good, he'll make that 20% go up to 80% and the fans will be demanding Bartomeu doesn't desecrate the club even further by betraying the spirit of the agreement with their greatest player.

Vimpto

You’re clearly not a genius either.
You’ve spelt Vimto incorrectly
& why have you responded with one word? Vimpto?
Not following what you’re talking about if I’m honest mate??
