Good statement from Messi
Jesus, you're right! Better call Messi, he might have missed that. And when you're at it, also call Bartomeu because he doesn't seem to know that either.
ExactlyThe whole crux of the issue here is that they reportedyl went back on their word of allowing him an amicable exit this summer and will only let him leave for 700m. Not 100m + players, not 150m nothing.
If they were willing to accept 100m this wouldn't even be an issue anymore and he'd likely be heading off to City already
Messi doesn’t want to leave. Never did. City were a tool he could use to pressure them.
Of course he wanted to leave for free.
If city have to pay a fee, which perhaps might be in the region of £100m the deal doesn’t make sense, especially if they can sign him next season.
sorry I should clarify.
Im astounded that this is happening in public. And the direct shots at the President is a sackable offense at any other club in the world...is it not?

La decision strikes again
I tire of how melodramatic football is.
He didnt consider hinself to he under contract, tried to bully the club into leaving for free then claimed he wanted Barca to get a fee?
Then claims he had Barcas interest at heart?
Well played thr board. Fecking Rooney got more shit for a fraction of this and he saw the writing on the wall before this. Maybe Wayne should have waited until 2013 then he would be a hero?

Insane to say this but Messi is now bigger than Barca, he's walking all over them.
Who else could treat their employers as badly and still know the whole team will be built around him.
Koeman is a dead man walking already, Messi will want him gone and the club and eventual new president will follow his wishes. I expect Xavi before the season ends.
mas que un club
Also you've got to give credit to Real Madrid, they avoided this circus by letting Ronaldo go before he started to decline. Imagine Ronaldo in decline calling the shots.
Messi made the mistake of spending money on expensive lawyers when he could've just hired you to run the negotiations.
So predictable. There will be a new president / board and Messi will stay probably even beyond next season
Messi > un club at Barca
The real winner is Bayern. They get to keep their players and all the focus is on Messi and City.
They will go in as favorites to win next seasons CL.
Well thank feck for that I suppose, he was only on his way to city anyway. Now we just have to hope he declines dramatically before he goes there next year!
Whats the worst that can happen here mate? They tear up his contract and kick him out of the club
Mes que un diva
Their president is a clown the fans want gone, and Messi is their greatest and one of the greatest ever and one of the greatest ever. If anything the fans will appreciate him calling out Bartemeu. As for sacking Messi, isn't that what he wants due to how poorly Bartemeu is doing his job?
Did people seriously expect this to end any other way? Barcelona were never going to let Messi leave on a free and he didn’t really want to anyway.
It's a high stakes game where Messi holds all the cards, basically a tilted game where all he needs to do is make statements after observing where the dust settles. All will be sympathetic to him in lieu of the devilish board who he has now outed, categorically.
The new board will fall over themselves to appease him, too.
Win, win, win.
I should think by April next year, the landscape at the club will look wholly different to how it does now.
Why? I love it. It's even better it happens to Barca.
Note that Messi said he is staying at Barcelona, but didn't specifically say as a player..
Good news. City don't get Messi, he's stuck with a collapsing barca in the Spanish league.
Good, if he actually joined City they'd surely be winners of PL for next 3 seasons, plus probably UCL winners at least once.
Think Messi will stay at Barca until he's 36/37 and then go to MLS/back to Argentina.
Bartomeu won't be Barca president this time next year so think this was unique chance for Messi to leave.

I was going to have a go at Messi but thats a great interview. Compare that to Sanchez who just bitched and moaned this comes across as a player that loves the club and is playing politics to force them to change.
it is interesting Messi was telling him all season he wanted to leave, so it isnt some hissy fit
No balls at all to test his ability elsewhere.
I was super excited to finally see him in EPL but I should of known he was never going to leave the comfort zone o Barca.
Nothing changed so staying makes no sense. His excuse of not taking them to court makes no sense either.

I'm shocked, absolutely shocked..
Yeah, beyond daft. Could have "reluctantly" sold him for 200m or something crazy to City, and started a proper rebuild.
Weak Cnut
i think the worse for Messi has already happened. He got some proper legal advice instead of his brother who is his "adviser" and his dad the Agent, who took one look at his contract and said Messi, you aint got a leg to stand on mate, you missed the legal date. end of.Whats the worst that can happen here mate? They tear up his contract and kick him out of the club
That's Barca's final downfall. You love to see it.
My feelings precisely, couldn't happen to a better club.
You love to see it as Dortmund would say
Jaw-dropping promo cut by Messi and he seems to have the momentum going to Survivor Series. I think he'll go over like he always does.
Just scared to ruin his reputation in the PL is what this is.
Koeman must secretly be a bit relieved though Messi seems like he could easily sour the mood in the dressing room.
