Seeing Puyol and Suarez tweet what they have it certainly looks to me like an open revolt to get Bartomeu to step down. He does and Messi stays.
I see a bunch of people mentioning Tom Brady and comparing the situations. As an American who closely follows the NFL, this situation is way different. Brady is nearly 45 years old and way past his best. His list of suitors was tiny. Messi is still arguably the best in the world and will have a long queue of suitors. Brady essentially fell into the Glazers' lap. They didn't beat out 10 other teams by a massive show of ambition like they'd need to do here with Messi.
Sign messi this year and not sign anyone for the next 2 years
Sign 3 middle/high tier players within this window and build a great squad
What would we do
What wage structure. Who in our current squad can complain that messi is getting a million so I want at least half that much.Wouldn't it totally upset the wage structure of one player is getting 3 times more then anyone else?
I know he's the best player ever, but still, he can get away with it at Barca cos he is a club legend and basically is Barcelona... Other clubs don't have that luxury.
Glazers "None of the above"Sign messi this year and not sign anyone for the next 2 years
Sign 3 middle/high tier players within this window and build a great squad

Yep. The timing is to good to be a coincidence. Not just that he will leave, not just to England but to Man Utd specifically and dismissing PSG and Cheaty. They know something.It's interesting those reports from Spain came out a few hours ago about United being in for Messi then it all comes out about him officially asking to leave.
A man can dream.
Me? I'd wank my cock into oblivion.What would we do
As an American who also closely follows the NFL, I would say that you don't actually understand American football if you think Brady can't take a team to the Super Bowl still. Watch this video so that you can learn a thing or two: .

Tampa Bay were hardly thought to be the primary landing spot until right before Brady announced.

If he goes, it has to be PSG to link up with his mate?
Neymar-Messi-Mbappe
ADM Back into midfield with Veratti and Marquinhos.
I can definitely see them going for it and reaping the rewards of a boost in profile. Not to mention the fact that he can sit out minor league games whenever he feels the need to.
Inter president Zhang wants him badly but as you said I don't see him and Conte a good fit.I don't think Messi would like to play for a guy like Conte to be honest
Indeed. Now they can do a clean rebuild around Griezmann, Coutinho, and maybe Dembele. I wouldn't be surprised if Bartomeu and Messi both leaves and the club starts from scratch. Its a good thing in the long run.I feel like this is a stroke of luck for Barcelona. They got Messi's best year's now they can get him off the wage bill. While getting another team spending huge money on a past prime declining Messi.
Barcelona had to move on from Messi at some point and it's better its now before he is completely past it.
Sancho has been a smoke screen for Messi all along.
Same way Ronaldinho at his peak stunted Messi's developement right?Will stunt the development of Greenwood. Do not want
power move to get Bartomeu out?I wonder if it is genuine or if it is a political game
I hate this feeling as a Ronaldo fan, but its still fecking Messi, even if he is 33!
What are the chances he pulls a Sanchez with us though We will forever be known as the club who fecked up the "GOAT".
He'll be a good option coming from the bench for Martial.Can we set up a transfer kitty to contribute to signing Messi?
Yes Wum...yes.As a Ronaldo fan?
I'm excited, but not because I think he''ll join United. I'm hoping Barca implode, and United are amongst those that regain a seat at the table.I’m genuinely surprised you’re not more excited. Is it that crazy to think that united would sign him? In my mind you’re the next most likely destination after City, ahead of Paris.
