It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

So all Messi's words about wanting to compete and have a project was just all bullshit ? He's just going to stay and carry them with all the free transfers and debt repayments on half the salary he was on before ? He said he wanted to win things in his last year's. Just seems odd he would cave now

its basically because of laporta, if he wasnt there he wouldnt be renewing

He was always going to take time on a new contract after finishing his current deal at Barça which entitles him to a 40m + payout for seeing it through, not sure why anyone's getting their hopes up. Aguero going there pretty much summed it for me that he stays.

Barcelona will refinance they debt, Goldman Sach are apparently involved

Well let's hope both parties count their fingers after shaking on the deal.

Just being grateful , no I haven't a headline saying we're in for him or being turned down by him.
Only headlines I have seen are the ones saying messi will stay at Barcelona, which is the point I'm trying to make

But you said he's turned us down, which wasn't the point you're making now!

 

[whipper]

How does a club recoup the sort of money Messi is being paid? Obviously hasn't worked for them, as they wouldn't be in as much debt as they are.

Or am I missing something?

So Messi ceases to be a Barcelona player in 1 hour, 45 minutes.

Be interesting to see if his profile page gets deleted off their website..

Leo Messi

Messi (Rosario, Argentina, 24 June 1987) is the greatest player of all time and FC Barcelona record setter. Trained at La Masia, he will always be associated with Barça as the greatest player ever to wear the blaugrana shirt

www.fcbarcelona.com

They would have to pay the web monkeys to do that, and with outstanding invoices I doubt it gets done tonight

 

[BAB.DAB]

So do ticket sales.
Doesn't make every ticket sale comparable to the announcement of the greatest player in the world's contract.

If messi signs for us
Do you think that the etihad sponsorship deal will be
Higher
Or
Lower
Than the deal we must have already agreed with etihad .
Might be one reason why the etihad deal hasn't been officially announced.

 

[Gumzy97]

I’m 99.9% sure Messi signs a new deal. But something today has got Tolmie excited to the point of multiple music videos.

 

[blue oli]

Well let's hope both parties count their fingers after shaking on the deal.

They are highly leveraged now, both asset wise and future income.

This is going to get painful for them

Nobody is getting their hopes up, it just when posters post stuff like Messi has just personally handed them a letter to read out and get all Billy big balls about it.
