Still not convinced this has completely played out. Bartomeu could be personally liable for tens of millions of losses if he loses the election. By keeping an unhappy Messi, he'll have to pay him for another season, plus pay a supposed €65m loyalty bonus plus allow him to leave on a free in the summer. So let's say that's €165m at least.

By selling him now, he could potentially get €100-125m in fees then save that €165m. So Barca could be nearly €300m better off selling him now. A company director has a legal duty to act in the best interests of the company, which he isn't doing.

Be interesting to see who blinks first.

I agree that it's not over but is it even worth paying a 100m+ fee when we could agree to sign him in 4 months on a free? Tolm said that we were still talking to him this morning so even City might think that's best all round.

Or you could just fuck off?

Just saying, Bart owes fortunes, paying Messi 88.8 mill plus loyalty bonus of 68 mill and losing his presidency will cost him a reported 460 mil loss, take away his wages and bonus, circa saves 156 mill, if we were to offer 100 plus Garcia means he loses a lot less millions

Just said similar on Twitter. How many millions are they in debt? And they want to keep a player against his will and lose even more money?

City chuck in a £100m bid, they'd be mad to just dismiss it.

Does not make financial sense whatsoever

Fuck sake will those obsessed with locking threads piss off and read another thread, or forum! It’s so weird.

Anyway. Surprised Messi is getting flack on here, it’s obvious he wants to go, he’s done everything he can apart from take Barca to court and we can’t blame him for not wanting to.

Sometimes, things just don’t align the way you want them to and Messi to City just looks doomed to happen for one reason or another. Still a niggling feeling this isn’t over yet, either now or in January but best we treat it as nothing more than a bonus if we do ever see him in blue.

I can't escape the idea that if he had one of these hard nosed gits like Riaola as his agent he would have been out the door the day he activated the contract cancellation. I am no fan of them personally but for players they do seem to get the job done.

Stop opening the thread if you don't want to discuss Messi. Seems pretty basic really.
