People on this forum seem ready to castigate FCBarca for his comments on the Garcia fiasco, when he speaks a lot of sense... The bottom line is that Pep extending makes the prospect of Messi signing, more likely, however you look at it! So Messi’s comments the other night can definitely be viewed to be linked with Pep committing - the two are linked undoubtedly! That isn’t the same as Pep signed an extension based on tentative hope that Messi is intent on leaving Barcelona.Whoosh!! He wasn’t suggesting Pep committed on the strength of Messi’s comments, that would be ludicrous!
