So what evidence is there that this is true...all I can see is the standard stuff from the twatteratty....nothing from Messi himself.

Secondly....they may have a deal in place but they cannt even register their new players yet due to their financial mess so that includes Messi as well.

He's only reducing 21/22 then his rate goes up apparently. It's a short fix to enable Barca to recover economically

You’d have to be one hell of an optimist- or more likely a complete crook to think Barca could turn this financial collapse around in 12 months. They are deep in debt and they have mortgaged their future… without a serious cash injection they are going to spend a big chunk of future revenues managing their debt and paying interest. Their wage bill is out of control and can only be managed down over a 3 to 5 year period but even this summer they aren’t making progress they are adding to the wage bill.

No because they still gotta get a few high earners off the wage bill

"No" would have sufficed :-)
Basically, nothing has changed since yesterday then (except Messi is one day further out of contract)

This. They have structural issues that means they can’t make any dent in their current debt pile. It’s only going to grow.

Does he actually ever speak??

Meh, I've moved on. Who wants to create the Pedri thread? We should be able to surpass the 34,000 posts in this one eventually.

One presumably being our very own Kun !!

 

[ShaunMCFC]

He’s only gone and bottled it… again

Messi just signed up for another 5 years on easy street. Gone down in my estimation as hes never tested himself elsewhere like the prancing prick has

I dunno...the four champions league wins weren't all against Malaga right?

he did last year saying that he wanted to leave but was prevented from doing so by the presidents interpritation of his contract and that he even believed he would win in court but didnt want to do that to the club
