Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[FCBarca]

Enables Messi to say he loves Barca and back the next president in the elections next year.

It would facilitate a proper farewell, presumably with fans by end of season but I doubt very much he will wade into the presidential elections with any sort of advocacy

I watched the video of him arriving and it was one person asking him. It was very calm. Not a chasing pack of dogs on that occasion. There were more when he left the Messi Foundation, but his arrival seemed very serene.

what I was alluding to, Trev, is that this still plays out behind closed doors, a flippant comment in public is just that.... I’m not saying he won’t stay, in fact I’ve stated from day one that I don’t trust the whole scenario, however, it certainly won’t be decided by media, like Barca are trying to enforce....

basics of media; amplification, portrayal, panic

Looking at Barca forums. Many want him to leave because they don't want him to stay another year while his heart is not in it.

But the most outrageous thing is that those who want to sell him are suggesting that we pay them: 100m + Bernardo + Garcia. Or 100m + Bernardo and Jesus.

I mean.....how stupid do they think we are?

So if Papa messi replies ‘ nah mate, he’s had enough of those cunts and is moving to gorton’, then that’s irrefutable evidence.... the video is to a chasing pack of dogs, you throw them a bone now and again!

He could have been answering any question from the mob of reporters?

I just hope were not taking our eyes off Koulibaly and a striker. Maybe a left back as well and central midfielder to freshen the squad up.

I would love to see Messi at City but if this looks like it's not going to work then we should move on sooner rather than later.

I get the feeling he's staying at Barcelona and internal politics have been made public.

What was the actual translation then? Not seen any suggestion it was purposefully mistranslated yet so i'm curious.

From an Argentine on Reddit -

In the video the journalist asks him if they're considering Messi to stay on for another year and he says "No sé" (I don't know) but the video puts the subtitle as "Si" (Yes). I don't blame the journalist since she's from Spain and our slurring can make "no sé" sound like a "sí" if said quick enough, but an Argentinean can tell anyway.​

We are told Messi has felt shit at Barca for quite some time. Why couldn’t he have simply said he wanted to leave BEFORE the date in the contract? Why Leo, why? You’d be a City player by now.

Because he had no intention of signing for City.
We've been used again.
A prima Donna, look at me, drama queen who has no business being pursued by gods own club.

Personally I'm mightily relieved if he does stay. They're welcome to him and his hissy fits.

Talksport upto their usual sour selves hes SNUBBED us .

 

[ScottSinclair]

Not to mention that Ronaldo is now and has been for several years the far far superior player.

Not true at all

Feels like a we’re are all living a version of 'we're going up, we're going down'.

But we`ve actually got more than a billion in the bank. ;)
