Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

In a weird way Barty being such a **** and putting it all on Messi could actually end up forcing Messi out.
What a tangled web we weave

Dsquared or who ever our official clothing company is now will soon make him look as daft as the rest of the squad !!!

So, Messi wants to leave because he's fed up with the board and Barto's plan to make him change his mind is to publicly pressure him into staying? Dunno about that one chief.

This is going to make me look stupid when it doesn't happen, but for me, this is the best confirmation yet that this is done and dusted. It's a very transparent face saving maneuver.

fucking hell!
Even Basil Brush is coming, this window just keeps getting better!

Showing your age there mate

 

[BringBackSwales]

Interestingly, well to me anyway, the odds have just flipped to where he is now more likely to go to City than to stay at Barce, first time in 24 hours. Apologies if already posted

It's a power play in the media now.

According to Sky, there was a poll of Barca fans in Marca last night about whether Messi should be allowed to leave on a free. 65% said he should.

I expect when Messi comes out publicly, he'll say he loves Barcelona, the fans etc, but he wants a new challenge and he wants the board to respect his wishes and the intended clause in his contract and let him leave for free.

Where can Bartomeu go from there?

Knowing our luck with this kind of thing, it'll be like the fucking Man From Del Monte advert.

"Hee stays, yess !!"

I will go on record and say i was not at York away, call me what you will but i wasnt !

Whatever happens we have 100% played this right (so far). No single statements or whispers coming from our side.
If he joins, bloody hell what an incredible day
If he doesnt, no bridges burned, no egg on faces

Aguero has apparently removed number 10 from his Instagram, so I would say he will have egg on his face if Messi doesn't sign now!
