That's disappointing, I was hoping for an ITK moment.

Ha ha I've tried an ITK moment and failed miserably.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

I considered it a done deal since friday.

Excited?

 

[Corky]

Why would there be a complaint to the European Commission?

A ridiculous tweet.

Why not just complain to Eurovision, they may have more powers in the matter?

 

[Clevers]

That’s weird nobody’s have ever been stopped just punished afterwards. Don’t think that will work as PSG could be about to sell someone for 500 million for all thry know.

To Real Madrid?

 

[Coatigan]

Goal aren't total chancers all the time. Maybe. Maybe not.

 

[BlueTG]

He also said that up until a week ago he could never have envisioned leaving Barcelona. So what was all that rubbish about last summer.

All whilst his father has been on the line to other clubs these last few months making sure there’s a suitable €€€€€€ package waiting ready for this “sudden” eventuality.

 

[Coatigan]

Seriously, who keeps changing the title abd why. How many ways to say the same thing.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Eh?! Is this actually true?

Yeah soon as Messi news dropped he was on here and posted

 

[Andresmessi]

A possible reason for Guardiola not being interested in Messi on this occasion is possible because a journalist about 8 or 9 months ago asked Messi with which coach he learned more and Messi answered Luis Enrique, l believed that Guardiola did not like this news, in Spain it was a very commented piece of news, this opportunity is hard for me to believe that Guardiola let it go with the story between the two of them, this is not over yet .....

 

[James Morgan]

Hopefully the rags will be next to go bust. .

Remain shit yes, bust no. Local rivalry is one of the best things about this sport, and I would hate to lose it.

Don't understand your last line.

What isn’t over yet?

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

How many more times it is not about him playing for free or not !

And he couldn't do that even if he wanted. The rules in La Liga seem to be that a player can't be paid less than 50% of his previous contract.

 

[Parisian]

Excited?

One could not be not excited. The player himself aside, it feels not quite real being able to sign such a monument of the history of football.

When we had gotten Neymar, it was already crazy with the surprise and the subsequent turn following the "Se Queda". We were sure nothing would top Neymar + Mbappé but this transfer is the pinnacle of craziness.

While i don't even think he will bring us balance and make us more threatening to a balanced team like yours, it is cool to sign Lionel Messi.

Also, i think we are the worst nightmare of Barça and its fans.

 

[domalino]

All hes doing is trying to hold la liga to ransom.

How many times do people need to explain that this is not even a remote possibility before it sinks in?

 

[bluethrunthru]

I found it quite moving tbh - Barca are about to become an absolute skip fire isn't it?

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Wherever he goes, will his heart be in it? He's truly devastated to be leaving Barca and just doesn't want to be anywhere else

And that just shows how much him & his advisors were using us over the years.

 

[1961_vintage]

And he couldn't do that even if he wanted. The rules in La Liga seem to be that a player can't be paid less than 50% of his previous contract.

Maybe he could have taken the 50% to comply, but channelled 40 of it back in to fund the academy for example?

If he wanted to stay that is.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

All these crocodile tears. It`s trying to pay Messi his remuneration got Barca into this messy.

8-)

Seriously annoying and treating us like kids who cant follow a thread

 

[Bozo]

lol how many of you would go to your work for free...?
