Sorry mate. I just really don't want us to go into the new season with Kun as our only striker as it would bite us on the arse.

It'd be a dream to sign Leo but i don't want Gabby going the other way.

why will Kun be our only forward? You assume we are not bringing anyone else in. Any deal for Messi will be separate to our original plan.

If we're open to paying a transfer, Barca will simply ask something obscene from us. They do not want Messi to leave under any condition. I am all for paying him the enormous wages he will command, a sign on fee etc, but not the ridiculous amount that'll be attempted to be extorted.

If he's put in his request to move for free then I'd say he's already had his lawyers go over it in detail, and conclude that he can get away with it legally.

I'm sure it can go to the courts of arbitration and they can be forced into accepting an acceptable figure. It would damage Barcelona's image more if they didn't let Messi leave after he's told them again that he wants to leave than asking for a ridiculous fee and keeping him.

After all he's done for that club, I just can't see it happening. They simply have to let him go if he wants to go. He's that big of a sports star.

Ill let Pep and Txiki know.

Do some people have no understanding of what is going on with this deal?

I urge any a City fan who sees shite like that on Twitter to respond with the fact he’s over 25 and in the last year of his contract. So he could buy it out! Meaning this magical €700m buy out is not worth what’s its written on and Barça won’t ever see anything like it. They also neglect to point out FIFA publicly sent every team a notice to say contracts (be them incoming or outgoing players) were to be extended to the end of the new season due to COVID, this was to protect clubs not just players. Will FIFA go back on their own memo? Would CAS or the footballing world tell FIFA they are wrong? I highly doubt it. So like I say, when you see that shit respond accordingly.

Yep. None of the so called experts seem to know what the Webster rule is. Doesn’t fit the script

Do you really think the club would be daft enough to let that happen mate?

There'll be a striker lined up if we need one.

Yeah i can't see us being that daft. The thing that concerns me is i haven't seen us seriously linked to any strikers and if Gabby is going to Barca he's going to need to be replaced.

I agree with this. Messi's deal won't affect the business we will conclude in other areas. They will be crunching the numbers as we speak, and making sure we don't leave ourselves short. Personally don't think we will swap Gabby anyway. He's young and it would make no sense - even if I think he's not the long term answer.

Khaldoon did say additional players were coming in. Not additional "player". So there's going to be more business even if Messi comes in.
