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

In fairness that was what had been predicted since this meeting was first mentioned. If Messi is adamant on leaving and everything he's done (the fax, not training etc) indicates he is, then it looks like this is about to get interesting.

My concern about the meeting was that Barca would offer the world to try and get him to stay. Assuming that hasn't happened, I can't see what would have changed for Messi to want to carry on there.

Barca are chasing Wijnaldum ffs. Hardly going to make Messi think oooh I'll stay then.
 
Presumably the exit clause did have a June date on it, otherwise no further discussion would be needed. So despite his final contract seemingly designed to allow Messi to depart at his discretion Barca are holding him captive on a technicality.

Why destroy the goodwill between club and player? Bartomeu is desperate for money.

Frankly offering Messi a 2 year extension under these circumstances is bizarre.

The question is how much we are prepared to give them.

Your final sentence is basically it.

This should get ironed out with a fee that keeps both sides sweet.
