Can't say I'm surprised... dude even tried escaping his taxes.
Laporta has said he thinks they'll be able to register Aguero, Depay and Garcia anyway.I thought the same too until I found out they still face an uphill battle to register Memphis, garcia, Emerson and Aguero. Fati had back to back injuries, I don't expect him to be his old self for a while.
Fecking Barca fans (these kind), they deserve everything that's coming to their club.Tweet

Can we unveil Varane tomorrow or as soon as there is a break in newsThe best thing about this situation is it's taken the shine away from the Grealish signing.
I think he accepted wages of 30% of his current contract. The issue is even if Messi played for free, they would be in trouble.Can't help but feel this is a big own goal by Messi. At 34 years old he's worth north of 500m. He could take a big pay cut, stay and help the club he's been at since he was a boy or go and earn a tonne of money for a few more years.
He accepted sneaky accounting where he played for 2 more years but would continue to be paid for 5 more years.I think he accepted wages of 30% of his current contract. The issue is even if Messi played for free, they would be in trouble.
Ronaldo looks like he is staying at Juventus mateWe have a chance to sign the best player of all time that will guarantee us a prem title. I don't understand why we are not going for him. We have the money
We currently have to sell to buy. We clearly don't have the money.We have a chance to sign the best player of all time that will guarantee us a prem title. I don't understand why we are not going for him. We have the money
Ok sorry I've gone and read all the quotes etc from the past few hours. I probably should have done that before responding.Do they? Isn’t it just a majority vote?

Wasn’t a pay cut, it was just two years spread over five to circumvent wage capsWhat actually happened? I thought he looks certain of staying after agreeing to a 50% paycut and with him finally winning something with Argentina and favourites for Ballon D'Or, he looks to fire Barca to the title next season. Barca President's statement sounds like they have had enough of him so will be interesting to see if this is on Messi or Barca. Funny thing is I think Barca will survive without him and could win La Liga next season.
£50m a year? No I don’t think we do tbh.We have a chance to sign the best player of all time that will guarantee us a prem title. I don't understand why we are not going for him. We have the money
If he doesn't move people say he's safe in his comfort zone etc.Can't help but feel this is a big own goal by Messi. At 34 years old he's worth north of 500m. He could take a big pay cut, stay and help the club he's been at since he was a boy or go and earn a tonne of money for a few more years.
He owes everything he has right now to the club who paid for his hormone treatment. Without that he wouldn't even have a .000001% of what he has now and he'd probably be working in the magnet factory with his Dad.Yes, he's so greedy. Barcelona gave him everything and he did absolutely nothing for them in all his career. What a cnut.
There's absolutely no one in top flight who would play for free.Some I imagine. This isn't like he has been on a tiny, semi-pro contract, he's worth several hundred million. He doesn't need the money, at this point it is greed. I will also say this isn't me laying the blame at his door, Barca is an utter shower of a club that is run like the mafia.
feckin hell I thought it was a kid before I played the video.Cringe and disturbing I would say.
He's repayed the club through his efforts on the pitch. Like any club - individual relationship, it's never one sided. Sir Alex/Sir Bobby and Manchester United, for example, gave each other everything rather one being in debt to the other (although many of us probably do feel that way about the great man).He owes everything he has right now to the club who paid for his hormone treatment.

If not Barca, some other club would have picked him and paid those medical bills.He owes everything he has right now to the club who paid for his hormone treatment. Without that he wouldn't even have a .000001% of what he has now and he'd probably be working in the magnet factory with his Dad.
I agree with Anka's sentiment, but surely if a "normal" company were spending a high percentage of their revenue on wages, paying their workers such high salaries... this wouldn't be considered hyper-capitalism - they'd be considered quite an ethical company wouldn't they?Tweet

None of the Argentinian clubs would befpre he went to Spain, because the whole country was swamped in a massive recession.If not Barca, some other club would have picked him and paid those medical bills.
Barca gave him so much and he paid them equally well with 15 years of exceptional performance which won't be matched for years to come.
He could learn a thing or two from Sir Bobby, instead it looks like he is going to high tail it out of there for some oil money.He's repayed the club through his efforts on the pitch.

I think so too. With the team they have they should be competing for the league title. I am assuming they register the newly signed players.What actually happened?

You're not getting the point which is that club legends aren't in this huge debt to their respective clubs. Same with us and our legends. Odd view to hold tbh.He could learn a thing or two from Sir Bobby, instead it looks like he is going to high tail it out of there for some oil money.
Of course we don't know how it would have gone if some other club had signed him. Barca signed him, he proved his worth and repaid them for 15 years of exceptional performance. He was paid well and Barca were served well, winning 3 CLs by being the best player.None of the Argentinian clubs would befpre he went to Spain, because the whole country was swamped in a massive recession.
Of course whether any other European clubs would have taken the punt is another thing. There are no guarantees, but he ended up in Barcelona due to family ties and here he is today, because of what they did for him.
