Lionel Messi

[chadrtc]

Messi can come across as a bit of a dick.

He’s basically been pulling the strings at Barca, demanding managers etc for years and now it’s all gone to **** he want out.

I see City supporters are presuming he is going there... I wouldn't be so sure.

Fax!

[Mark79]

I’m sure he didn’t demand Ronald Koeman!

I don’t blame him for wanting out at this point. He’s 33, there’s no point in him wasting his last couple years at a team in transition, under a bang average coach.

This is about the board level. He'll get new elections and probably more power. That or a move to PSG.

Apparently the buy out clause is €700m and his contract ends next year.

Yeah, from what I've read in the last half hour it's probably a bargaining ploy to make sure the next President is the one that he wants, in terms of player signings or extra wonga for himself.

[Buzzo]

I just read that he has a clause in his contract that means he can leave for free?

[frank the tank]

The club think that has expired.... But he is saying it hasn't because the season was extended

Messi thinks he can leave for free due to a clause, Barca reckon he can leave but only for £700million...... Some difference

Bit of a difference for who ever is interested.

[frank the tank]

Wonder will he do something like sign for Juventus and win a few leagues..... And play with CR7

Or PSG.

Or Man City.

Will be interesting

[RichC]

On a free, he’ll have suitors. €700M BOC it’ll be a little tougher to find interest.

If he’s serious about leaving it’ll be messy as **** to sort this out

Good pun opportunity sadly missed there Rich!

One man's sadly is another man's..... ...

on a side note, What sort of ****ing idiot agrees that the worlds best player can just leave on a free?? is Damien Comolli controlling transfers at Barca?
