I applaud the club for not being gullible enough to fell for his drama and schemes. Whether he left or not, I honestly couldn't be bothered one bit unlike the ones wanting to drop Kane for this clown show.

Well what I can say is that at 2am Messi's jet left ibiza and headed back to Argentina. That tells me it's gone to pick his dad up.
I'd expect it flying back from Argentina to either Barcelona, Manchester or Paris.
Take your pick.
Can't wait to see how sky sports play this latest episode out, they are full on with the story of him going to Paris.
What I don't get if it is true is how all of a sudden he can suddenly sign for them when he obviously can't because of restrictions?
This is going to drag on and on.

I fucking almost want it to be true, that he ends up at barca after all and it was all one big charade. Sure, would feel it was a cheap play on public perceprion and feelings, an over the top act, a 'circus', arguably embarrassing even. But part of me would also feel, kudos on a well executed public magic trick performance. Some just like being fooled.
There is also the possibility that the time delay is causing a few to guess all sorts on twitter because the vacuum of every passing moment needs filled.

Regardless of what happens, you have to credit Pep and the board for not getting involved again.
We were stung last summer when he gave us hope and backtracked and we have moved on.
For Messi most clubs would drop all plans, to try and sign him but we are focussed on our revised current strategy and haven't jumped ship to get him.
Long term that is probably the right approach, although it would have been fun to get him! I'm sure Pep et al know this could all be a game and are sitting it out.

In fairness, we were not involved last summer either.

I doubt it. Wouldn't take a genius to turn round to espn and explain that there contract is with La Liga not Messi.So ESPN, who I believe bought the broadcasting rights to La Liga basically said to them "Hey, we didn't give you all this money to take Messi out of the league"
Now La Liga has to backtrack on their wage rules so Barca can keep Messi.
I'm guessing this is what happened.

I read the media reports of the press conference before watching it, after I watched it, I would say without doubt that was stage managed, fake dry tears, an audience of a few selected family, friendly media, manager and staff.
Messi and Barca have played this from day one, they have played the get out of jail card.
Messi is going to spoil his reputation, to me that started last summer, a player so desperately unhappy, yet he would not force through what he claimed was his right to leave the club.
The last two season have shown Messi, Barca is all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
He’d be on a lot more money at PSG.
