Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

Surely if you don't turn up to training the your decision has been made, I don't understand how you can U-turn from that without embarrassing yourself. Pretty positive this will move forward now.

 

[jollylescott]

The best guide as to Messi’s intentions is that he hasn’t been turning up for training.

All the rest is sound and fury signifying nothing.

There’s litterally a video of him saying they’re evaluating staying

whether you think it’s games or not, or has come across incorrectly is another thing but there is a video

We are told Messi has felt shit at Barca for quite some time. Why couldn’t he have simply said he wanted to leave BEFORE the date in the contract? Why Leo, why? You’d be a City player by now.

At that time city were not in CL.

Well I've got 48 followers on Twitter (I popularish in real life honest, but use it mainly to read)....My take is that Messi would like out but he'll be leaving his true love, Pep has done the big sell to him, Bart has done to the sell to his dad..... they'll meet and decide from there.


There's no big reason to panic yet until the Messi's meet.

More Flap than an aviary in here :)

I'd still take a 34 year old Messi for free next summer.

His level is so high I don't think age is as much of a factor as it is with other players.

It'd be great to have a full stadium to welcome him as well.

Problem is, some of the mods like @jimharri are in cahoots. When you get the police working with the thieves…

jims a mod???? are you sure? you maybe thought you heard "bluemoon elected moderator", but actually the phrase was "bluemoon elected masturbator"?

Saddens me to see things like that tbh. Here's a geometry refresher about angles/degrees - 360 constitutes a complete circle

I thought it's like that, no?

If had done that when they were still in the competition, he’d have took the full blame for the chimps league Munich defeat.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

At that time city were not in CL.

And yet had the same chance of winning it as we do now... none! Maybe Leo doesn’t realise that yet.

Graham Hunter has tweeted that all that's happened this morning is reporters caught Jorge Messi waiting to get into the underground car park. They asked him 'Are you evaluating seeing out the last year of contract' and he mumbled a reply 'Si'. Most likely just him saying yes so they fuck off.

No, I don't think Jorge would intentionally mislead. The pendular power struggle looks to have tilted once again back to Bartomeu

I am disappointed that Barto will want to force the player to stay, against his will. Not sure how this is good for anyone apart from Barto

What a mess

So if Papa messi replies ‘ nah mate, he’s had enough of those cunts and is moving to gorton’, then that’s irrefutable evidence.... the video is to a chasing pack of dogs, you throw them a bone now and again!

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Which I think can also be detrimental. Fans don't always know what they want, or what's best for the club.

If I pitted one Khaldoon against the intellect of 50,100,200 average Joe's, I'm tipping Khaldoon every time.

Disagree, it's wrong to assume that one individual person knows exactly whats best for the club and its supporters. As I said, there are positives and negatives to both models - but don't be so quick to take any power out of members hands.

Someone mentioned the other day that the bonus is payed yearly so he’s already had most of it.

Performance based bonus maybe, loyalty bonuses are typically paid after a player sees a contract out, messi's being an accumulated 20 years.

 

[cookster]

Why are rags and dippers celebrating, I thought they said this was not a big story and didn't care

For exactly the same reason we would be if it was them.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

He’s shite anyway, rather being Jesus Navas back, the European winner ;)

 

[fareastblue]

might only be as useful as zlatan at rags so no worries

 

[jimharri]

Waiting on the (seemingly) inevitable knock back is like watching the rags and waiting on the guaranteed penalty.

What a mess

Where does it realistically leave Barca for the coming season? No Suárez, Messi god knows in what mindset, other players seemingly out in the cold. Seems one giant mess.
