luke_bristol Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Apparently Barca are contesting the free release clause as the paperwork states “1st June”, rather than the end of the season. This could get...ahem....messy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could get...ahem....messy.... If it went to court I think a court could easily interpret the agreement as being x days after the end of the season so yeah I agree it could get messy. I still think he'll be sold for a wad to appease both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 If the Petroclubs pay the release clause, they'll fall into FFP breach almost certainly- even with amortisation. I suppose a number of clubs could afford him if on a free and was just wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwhitepurple Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Probably for tax reasons.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I think the PL can be a bit overrated and a bit of an acquired taste IMO. It's the richest League but is it always the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 On a side note, Messi he's fantastic- him or Ronaldo, we all know top 2 in whatever order. Cannot help but think he's a bit of a spoiled brat however. He's always making demands of Barcelona, some of which are unrealistic for a start. Could be paper talk some of it, but a bit of a spoiled brat. Interesting line on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGBjammy Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 I think the options are: Juventus (just give us one season of Messi and Ronaldo!)

They have offered Ronaldo to clubs apparently. Would be PSG, Man City or Man United. Other than that he would be going to a weird league somewhere. Maybe Chelsea could afford too?

Sure I read something earlier saying if a change in the presidency happens, he'd probably stay. It would be interesting to see how he would fair in the Premier League, because he wouldn't have as much time on the ball, and he's more likely to get lumps kicked out of him. Be a hell of a lot more physical over here!! You don’t think Spanish defenders have tried to kick lumps out of him for the last 15 years then!!!!!. He is used to it, and deals with it, he gets kicked, gets up and gets on with it. Take David Silva, did he struggle in the Premier league, ?, Messi is a class above him, so what makes anyone think Messi would, it’s comical.

Interesting that his release clause is €700m, but Messi is able to walk away for free at the end of any season. Wait for the legal ranglings on whether now is the actual end of the season or not? Apart from Manchester City and PSG can anyone else afford him? Messi wants the president out and to pick the team. He'll stay at Barca, I dont believe for one second that he actually wants out.

This ‘privilege’ thing is spin from the clubs president/hierarchy. No journalist itk has had a bad word to say about Messi over the last 15 years, no team mate has either. Why do people fall for this privilege crap, he’s been the best player in the World for 15 years, he could of gone anywhere he wanted and have whatever he wanted anywhere else. He is a genius with a football, people just need to sit back and enjoy it while they can. Once he’s gone the football world will be massively poorer.

If he comes to the Prem he'd instantly be the best player in the league by quite a distance. He and Ronaldo are a level above even the likes of KDB in my opinion.
