Sorry - I thought their wage bill was £300m and they needed to lose 40 per cent of it… whatever the numbers… they are fucked. Lol

770m need to get it to 370m

Watching Barcelona Tank is actually becoming better than signing Messi for me.

What a fucking circus. Kick everyone out and illegally cancel contracts of players without their consent. I love the smell of a good lawsuit.

Bob. I agree this is fantastic entertainment for anyone who has become sick over the years of the self entitled hypocrisy which seeps out of this Club. It is a triumph for the crappiest planning imaginable. The successive Presidents and Boards who have set budgets and strategies to reach this point want shooting. There is no way any player will exit a binding contract on terms which disadvantage them and the footballing authorities should be very interested in these developments and at the very least threatening an immediate incoming transfer ban. in any event any reluctance on the authorities part may become overshadowed by legal action from players.

As many on here have said it’s no wonder that Barca cling so desperately to the super league concept. It’s their only way out.

Maybe the players at risk should hire Danny Mills as an adviser. This could get very Messi indeed.

The hypocrisy is staggering but they can’t just cancel contracts. These are fixed term contracts, binding in law and any variation needs the agreement of both parties. Even in cases of serious misconduct - remember Tevez - the contract could not be terminated- and Spanish labour law is much tougher than the UK equivalent - so Barca (or the media) are chatting shit.

Regardless of whether they can or not they are bullying the lad. He's probably getting death threats off the Barca loyalists

To be fair, they're only "studying the possibility" :-)

There a worldwide shortage of haribo

Doesn't have the same ring to it - "worth his weight in Haribo"

It can’t be good for squad harmony that they’re willing to cancel contracts of players and, according to some reports, not even pay them all while they’re bending over backwards to make an offer to Messi. Ridiculous really.
