Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Saddleworth2]

I don’t really care that much about Messi. If he comes, great. If he doesn’t come, that’s fine. I do care about Pep staying for another couple of years. If you haven’t already, listen to his words on the club interview. Of course he likes working with his two chums and the chairman. But how much does he talk about the history of the club, of the cooks, medical staff, ground staff, players. We really do have probably the best run club in the world. We will win the Pl and the Cl in the next three seasons.

Messi won't sign in January, he won't want to miss out on €30m

And Barca won’t want to pay it with the sounds of it

Too old, won't fit in the team and not worth it.

Why break a pay scale and transfer policy of early to mid 20's players, players that will improve with Pep's coaching, for someone the complete opposite?

Utter madness.

Past tense. Messi having so much to offer has little to do with whether he remains at Barca, what also remains is the toxic atmosphere that very clearly is driving him out. Every major article about Pep's renewal links back to Messi's comments from last night - there are no coincidences like this in football

It's on - just a question of when, not if

And what were the comments he made last night??

If he wants to come then go for it. The day he signs hopefully Tebas has a mild stroke.

And what were the comments he made last night??

According to Spanish media, upon coming back to Barcelona:

"The truth is that I'm a little tired of always being the problem for everything at the club. On top of that, after a 15-hour flight, I had the tax authorities waiting for me. It's madness."

You still don't understand. Signing Messi will transform the club forever off the pitch. This alone makes him worth it.

I feel confident we'll get him now. I'm looking forward to a lot of people on here eating humble pie once he starts playing.

Rewind 5 years and he's in his prime, your post is correct. But in the present your post isn't correct.
Remember when we signed George Weah? Relatively speaking this is the same, apart from the money.

If any of our rivals were doing these figures for a near 34 year old, I don't think there would be any blue who would say that particular club is being transformed.
