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

[SPIDERBOY]

BARTO LAUGHING IN THE FACE OF LEO AND JORGE.
PISSING HIS SIDES IN FACT.
WHAT A FUCKIN CIRCUS.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Wait for him to say something about how his heart won't be in it and he'll be playing sad and itll effect his feeling towards the club in the interviews.

Fans+Messi vs Bartomeu

Definitely.

He's shown the fans he still has a deep love for the club, thus Bartomeus plan to make him public enemy number 1 is shot down instantly.

Hopefully it's a play and not reading too much into it.

 

[Stoned Rose]

There will be fuck all more to it if his Mrs and kids have said they dont fancy East Manchester.

He'd have been aware of their views before this mad week happened mate.

He doesnt want the court case.

 

[Lemon7277]

Sergio has just added number 10 back to his Instagram account

 

[didsburyblu]

A lot of people throwing their toys out of the pram.
He's basically said the club is a shambles and the players aren't good enough.
Can he just walk back in and it all reverts back to normal? I don't think so.
No mention of any contract extension so I think he's going and a bid from us to test the water will give Barca a lot to think about

 

[p.taker]

Read it and it sounds like his head is up his arse.

He wants to go but basically isnt allowed.

He wants to win but realises he'll win fuck all there as they've gone so shit.

His bird and nippers kicked off royal when he said he wanted to bounce.

Tbf that would wreck anyone's nut.

Imo he's put his family and club before himself and that's commendable, even if we wished he didn't.

I still think there'll be more to come on this.

I was going to say yep and well said, but I don't to go against the grain here so:

Waaaaaahhhhhhhhh
Waaaaaahhhhhhhhh
Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

 

[KiLP12]

I feel this will make Bartemou sell Messi now. He's made to look horrible in public and in return now he can gladly sell. This is such a political game. I'm sure this is on. Now selling him will be okay for Bartemou because he'll explain he did everything for Messi to stay but he wants to leave and calls him out shows now he can sell.

 

[g180aj]

I want this one particularly badly, not for me, but for City.

You were right that Sanchez was a busted flush but I genuinely believe Messi's fear factor would win us the league by Christmas.

Sanchez, Rooney, Kaka, these deals are literally gift wrapped and then...

Do you think there is any chance that this is a ploy to put pressure on the board to accept an offer if Bartomeu gets a vote of no confidence?

 

[Nails]

How many ITK's said that he'd stay ?

I don't think he is.

 

[leewill31]

Is that it? Seriously? It's game well and truly still on. He's leveraging his legacy and love of the club against them doing the right thing.

Thank fuk for that i thought i was the only one thinking this

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I can’t see how this can possibly happen now.

If he performs a u-turn, the Barca fans would never forgive him.

 

[bluecityste]

paddy Power have taken down the odds, damn - i was hoping to put a cheeky £5 on still to join at good odds

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

This is only over is Messi signs an extension. I'd take a 34 year old Messi on a free any day even if I have to wait a season for it but that would also including signing him up in Jan and also for pre-season, so in grand scheme ain't that far away. Would they really keep an asset so valuable and let him go for nowt. Nah, a bid from us will set the ball rolling on this. Just to repeat, for me personally (and I've been skeptical about him coming here anyway),if he doesn't sign an extension by Christmas, he's out the door. I can't fault him for his words, very scathing, defo wouldn't go as far as say he was a **** or bottler, but it does take the shine of what has been a good watch from the side lines, just comes with territory and as I've seen some shit in my 40 years as a Blue, I take it all in my stride. I remember being linked Jon Macken!! And fuckin getting him! :) how times have changed :)

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Is that it? Seriously? It's game well and truly still on. He's leveraging his legacy and love of the club against them doing the right thing.

Possibly. It reads to me like his family not wanting to be uprooted is the biggest thing tbh.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

What he missed was Messi effectively saying that his family really wanted to stay in Barca, school, life style, everything and he STILL wanted to leave.

yes, if his family was paramount that he would never have put in a transfer request in the first place.

 

[higgi1p]

What he missed was Messi effectively saying that his family really wanted to stay in Barca, school, life style, everything and he STILL wanted to leave.

He’s just saying that to save face with Pep and us. Think we’ve been used to some extent. New election soon so chairman replaced and Messi gets more power

 

[Nails]

I admire your spirit and fight mate.

Not spirit and fight. Just reading and comprehension. This is far from over.

 

[Coatigan]

I know Barcelona have been the dicks in all this, but he has just fucked his club right over, fuck ne would i be raging if i was a barca fan. Would have been better off taking them to court than this shitty charade

 

[Healdplace]

I really do not get why so many are attacking Messi. For a player to confess as he has why he has to leave and rail against the club he clearly loves must be very hard to do. But he makes very clear they are effectively holding him hostage. He just will not sue them to be let free and, obviously, neither would City take this route.

I like a player who has integrity and that is what his stand is here - love and passion for his club of so many years. Whilst still making very clear he needs to go.

If he was signing a new contract that's a whole different matter. But that seems very unlikely

I still think this could end up with some kind of compromise solution.

But either way it puts Barca in a dreadful spot and not many connected to the club will see this as any kind of victory.

 

[City Raider]

The other thing he’s done is made the war with Barthomeu public. Gloves are off and he obviously now feels free to say whatever he wants whenever he wants. Wonder if Barthomeu has the appetite for that.

He’s also left the president a way to come out of this in a better light, save his reputation by doing the right thing.
