jus too baad..i cant believe this is happening, messi should jus be patient and stay one more season to see if this koeman new game plan would suit him, i think he should give barca the last dance and if barca new project fails he can walk to any club for free as a free agent..
i would be pained to see him leave and camp nou fans would surely miss him bcoz this wasn't messi's plan earlier bt things change and i hope the fans understand..
if he decides to leave i hope he ends up in man.city n dt would be my oda team, cnt wait to see how the magical messi would silence those lousy epl media and fans dt do say he cnt perform such wonders in EPL because la liga is easy..
and also i pity barca when city with messi meets barca in ucl...

We are comparing his wages with that of Madrid not seria A players....stop spewing gibberish...

Sanchez01:

Ronaldo left after back-to-back-to-back (3) Champions League trophies while Messi is leaving after a horrible 2-8 show. Messi is good, no doubt but definitely not half the leader Ronaldo or Ramos is.

It is one of the reasons he should leave because he has no business wearing the captain band but the politics won't make anyone admit it.

TrebleChamp:
Ansu Fati will replace him. It was always going to end someday, so let's Barcelona and the fans deal with it now and move...

My "slowness" is faster and greater than all ur speed put together. So now u have agreed that u are shallow? d questions are just help put ur shallowness in perspective

paulolee:

guy seriously u jus stressing me....let me make it easier since ur brain is too slow to get my quick facts...
1..cr7 earns 42m euros a year in madrid and had 2 more years on his contract and asked for new improved deal..
2..was rejected by perez due to his age and moved to juve and accepted a paycut to receive 31m euros in 4 year deal..
let me ask, if you are cr7 agent, would you advice him to stay in madrid after his extension was declined or go grab that bad of cash in juve?? guy try de reason na...

prodigyhenry:
The funny thing is that those people who hate Messi are now begging him to come to their team. Go on Twitter and see how man utd fans are screaming at Woodward to get him, even Chelsea fans and Madrid fans are begging him to consider him. No transfer has ever created this kinda buzz. Now who is truly the goat �. We all know who the goat is but sentiments no let us gree

[s]Resist the urge, bro.

Why Ronaldo left isn't the problem. How is the focus here. Ronaldo would have been branded a failure if he left without winning three UCL trophies in a row or any at all. Recall Messi had bragged at the start of the season that the UCL is returning to the Camp Nou?

Question: Would Messi be fighting to leave if Barcelona won the Champions League? Would Messi be fighting to leave if the scoreline was just 0-2 and not 2-8?

Bayern Munich has no respect. If they were gentle with Barcelona, this episode won't be happening. But this isn't the first time Messi is running or quitting after losing. It isn't even the third sef [/s]

Aflix:
This transfer is causing so much buzz. Everywhere Messi Messi Messi.
The club he decides to play for go make 2 times what they will use to sign him.

PDPdestroyer:

Hehehe....the internet gives empty people like you the chance to measure with those you can't dare in real life. If you're not of an IQ lower than found in people with trisomy 21, the answers to my posers should be obvious to you.
If you need someone to tell you what a great player like Messi brings to a club asides his skills, then you have no business being on this thread. You should go to the romance section where your likes abound

See what bayern Munich has caused.
Score small goals una go dey score goals like say another champions league no go come.
Even since the day bayern trashed Tottenham 7:2, Tottenham has not remained the same again.
Bayern eh

lexy2014:


I don't need to measure anything with u. Ur answer to d simple questions I asked has helped to put things in perspective. It's there in black & white. Ur penchant for labelling & name calling only shows that u really don't have much to say from upstairs, an emptiness which u display in greater proportion than me. So my emptiness is greater than all ur fullness put together. My lowest intellectual display is greater than ur highest intellectual display.

D same way d internet has given me an opportunity, is d same it has also given u. So far, I don't see how u think u deserve that opportunity more than me or any other person in d world. If u have all d reason to be on this thread yet u can't see beyond Messi/Ronaldo dichotomy in answering simple football questions, I then wonder who should take a leave from d thread. It shows that u have no idea about d claims u are making

lexy2014:


I think d issue of global brand and all what not was one of d reasons juve bought Ronaldo. How has that based on what u said translated into economic wealth for Juventus?

U say:

These are the clubs:

Inter Milan.
PSG.
MAN CITY.
Chelsea.

will fall over to have Messi GRACE their team.

Do u no d state of their finances especially Inter and Chelsea that u feel they be able to afford 700m for one player? Do u also take into cognizance FFP rule?

Xpress24:
cr7 buy out clause@madrid was i billion go and research ok

paulolee:

lolz...all dis cr7 fan boys eeh, ma gee cr7 left real simply bcoz he asked perez for a new improved contract, even thoug his current contract is remaining 2yrs in madrid..
perez didnt agree to cr7 terms of a new 4 year deal with a very high wage like messi bcoz perez saw no future with cr7 in Madrid for d next 4 years then and cr7 had to go when juve came knocking bcoz he knew dey would hardly be a suitor to pay him dt much after his next 2 years in madrid...
do you think cr7 dts obsessed with ucl and balloon d or easily went to juve when he knows dt winning both with juve is impossible??
do you think dt even after winning the ucl with madrid he believed dt he would win the ballon d or in juve? modrid simple won the ballon d or dt year and we all kno itz bcoz cr7 moved to juve and dts wat cr7 always knew would happen bt he took the gamble bcox of the financial benefits of his career, Madrid knows how to dump stars no matter who you are, ask raul and cassilas and mayb after dt 2 yrs dt was left on his contract d nxt plan is to sell him off to china bcoz perez dnt joke witj cash and dts Y he played safe and moved to juve..

LMAO
You can't even choose your own lines of attack properly without quoting my own words
Says so much about you. People like you come to public forums as this with the "I know all" mindset, only to get defensive after throwing unnecessary attack - what moral justification do you have to accuse me of "name-calling" when I answered you in a civil way until you started throwing tantrums. You expect me to be civil with you while you can talk to me anyhow you deem fit, nah it's never gonna happen!
And I maintain you're just an empty individual who talks a lot without driving home a single point.
I don't give a rat ass about whatever opinion you have about my footballing knowledge, you can't blackmail me emotionally with your incorrigible rants to provide any answer to your questions - you lost that privilege the moment you went rogue and started the name calling.
Like I said before, you can make the questions your project topic, if you're desperate for answers

ojaysam25:

No club is happy to sell their best players....i heard there is a contract to let him go for free when he chooses....so he is free to leave,barca didnt tie him down like dey did neymar yet psg still break the bank to sign him

RealEzee:
pls add CR7 didn't leave man Utd when we were down,plus he never abandoned Madrid when they were down, he never abandon Portugal when they were down, but Messi did it twice with Argentina, now about to serve barca da same medicine .

FlipModeSquade:
Madrid wanted Ronaldo gone..
Ronaldo said so himself..
When the President of your Club does not value you the way he used to,that is to say that you are EXPENDABLE..
The said contract to let Messi go is not straight forward and is subject to interpretations..
It was supposed to be activated BEFORE June 30th and that time has elapsed..
The interpretation is now dependent on whether the unusual length of the season,should be taken into account and that is what is the bone of contention between Messi and Barca..
So,yes Barca tied him down with 700M and are still insisting on the amount being paid,because they don't want to lose their best player.

FlipModeSquade:
I think you would have to go back and read my comment thoroughly..
NO CLUB can afford to pay 700M for a player..
The said amount is his buyout fee,to discourage clubs from poaching on Barca's best player..
Having said that,Barca don't want Messi to leave and will do their best to frustrate any departure..
And that is the reason Messi wants to activate his release clause..
Juventus bought Ronaldo for his Economic as well as footballing impact and yes,Juve has benefitted immensely from the presence of Ronaldo in their team..
More people tune in to watch Juventus play purely for the reason of Ronaldo,even me,am much more likely to watch Juve today for the opportunity to see Ronaldo..
More publicity equals more revenue..

This is ur comment:

"What are the things a Club stands to gain?
Messi is a GLOBAL ICON.
FRANCHISE player that TRANSCENDS the Sport of Football..
ANY club that buys him,buys GLOBAL PROMINENCE and RENOWN..
Any Club that buys him,buys economic wealth..
That is the privilege that comes with having the GREATEST OF ALL TIME in your Club..
Inter Milan.
PSG.
MAN CITY.
Chelsea.
These are the clubs that will fall over to have Messi GRACE their team.."

In response to that, I said this:

"I think d issue of global brand and all what not was one of d reasons juve bought Ronaldo. How has that based on what u said translated into economic wealth for Juventus?

U say:

Do u no d state of their finances especially Inter and Chelsea that u feel they be able to afford 700m for one player? Do u also take into cognizance FFP rule?"


So far, ur response has in no way answered d questions I asked. U have gone round in circles with giving any straightforward response.
