He’s had his hand in the mess they are in though. He’s also demanding to be left off for free.
There was clause that he could leave for free up to June 30th or something like that- obviously the season extended because of covid - you’d be calling him a bigger cunt if he left when he could and didnt finish the league campaign.
He’s a tax dodging racist. The only reason I forgive him any of it is because he’s supposed to have Aspergers. Although that is the same reason he was always going to make a terrible captain (no offense to any posters with Aspergers).
He is but it’s a bit of a mess. His side claim the season hadn’t ended. Barca say it was the 30th of June deadline. Word is Man City will pay them something for him to call it quits and he’ll be away
A token gesture of €250-300 million I’d say and a deal will be done.
It’s very sad that it looks set to end like this. Bartomeu has fucked this up royally. I think myself Messi should just stick with it for the few years he has left but that’s easy for me to say.
The Departures lounge is busy
They sold Rakatic for 1.3m this week. Messi gets that in a fortnight
Is Rakatic a busted flush ??
He’s been poor for a while but for 1.3m I’d take a chance on him. Bohs got more from Doherty going to Tottenham than a proven class central midfielder
I agree he should see it out. A la liga title with fati and Pedri would be amazing.
Just getting old. He’ll still do a good job for Sevilla I’d say
Who is Pedri?
The one thing for Barcelona is that Real Madrid are currently no great shakes . Spanish club football Big 2 weakest in 3 decades or so ??
They both had to reboot at some point.
Looks like that
Barca were no great shakes around 2002-2003. Ronaldinho’s arrival seemed to be a catalyst for their resurgence. Think Celtic knocked them out of the UEFA cup in 2004.
Craig Bellamy and John Arne Riise did em like kippers in Camp Nou in 07
They went through a wee trough then agreed but Real were strong those years. Valencia were in 2 CL finals around that time and won a league .
