Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

And the rotation has generally worked brilliantly. Playing the first eleven every week a la Liverp

I'm agreeing. If Messi was here he'd be playing in all the important games and would probably have sat out the Chelsea and Leeds games.

And some didn’t want him LAST summer as they thought he was past it.....

On the Barcelona subreddit they vote for the MOTMOTM - Man of the match other than Messi - because he is so obviously head and shoulders above every other player on the pitch every time he plays that it's pointless to have a normal vote.

Messi has refused to do any promotional work for the club outside his contractual obligations all season, and that hasn't changed since Laporta arrived. He won't speak on their club's channels, won't do any promotional appearances that aren't in his contract, and has basically hit the brakes on them using him to promote the club.

Doesn't mean he's definitely leaving but it's telling that the depth of his feeling is still such that he won't go out of his way to help them.

Barcelona press reporting today that he'll have to take a big pay cut to stay at Barcelona.

I think I have posted this close to 10 times over the past 10 years but I still mean it;

If I can watch Messi in a City shirt, even for one season, I can die happy

Barcelona press you say? I’m sure it must be true in that case ;)

oops misread your post. Thought it was he’d agreed to take a pay cut. My bad

I know that Sergio is seemingly going there on a free but surely he gets a big signing on bonus? Plus at least €150,000 a week?!! How are they funding that?

Yes. So why re run the news over and over?

Unless you're paving the way for another story, ie "Barcelona couldn't afford to keep him" then there's no need to keep printing it.
