You're sick. Nobody who knows their worth would ever offer a professional service to a business for free. You expect him not to be paid a salary when he's offering services to a business.

You don't offer free services to a money-making venture - you offer discounts. You can only offer free services to a non-profit-making venture. That's how professionalism works. That's why Messi used to attend and donate to UNICEF functions free of charge.

Emotionality and unprofessionalism like that is why many of you do ads for companies or brands without a proper agreement then later gave a discount.


You should be more worried about why Iniesta got a better reception when he left Barça while your precious Pendu was shun and booed by Madrid fans for years till he was kicked out.
I'm not even going to mention Messi' reception - there's already fear there might be riots at Camp Nou by fans who blame La Liga and the club admins for letting Leo go.

Blue Angel? You are nothing more than an Avatar in the scheme of things.

Dude it obviously not possible for a player not to get paid for playing

But come o, wetin you dey type self

A40:
Lmao that speaks more to how Madrid is run than Ronaldo. Messi will get the same discarding treatment in Madrid colors. Don't kid yourself. They were not loyal to homegrown Raul who won them 3 CLs you think they will care for Messi?

Smiles. I wouldn't know cos Messi never played there. But then, none of those you mentioned are in Messi's class. Ronaldo is just the closest but Perez knew he was just there as a prolific goalscorer, compared to Leo that has played every attacking position (Cf, SF, FS, and AM) in the team and not allowing it to sink worse than it already was.

But but but, I thought Laporta enjoyed an excellent relationship with Messi?

ddippset:
Dont mind these Messi asss lickers disguising as Barca fans.
See them struggling to defend Messi..

Which kain yeye loyalty be that? If he is truly loyal he should be playing for free for Barca. He should reject every penny.

Who is he deceiving with fake loyalty?

If it involved just sunbathing in the 18-yard box while a Dybala, Benzema, Modric or Kroos does all the work for me, then sure, it's alright to play for free. After all, it's just holidaying - any drunkard can tap-in.

But when he practically carry a team and have been doing so for years? Even if Ddippset has to be offered to some cruel spirit in exchange for money to pay for his services, then it's justified. I and hundreds of millions of other true football fans would vote in support of it.

ClintonNzedimma



Hope Laporta is still your savior?

Deluded nincompoop!

ddippset:
at least this one ïs a different specie of eeediots.

at least he has agreed that messi had a valid reason to cry and he gave the reason. so they werent crocodïle tears alterall.

so thank you, no argument.

I like a dumbo that agrees to schooling

BlueAngel444:

Aren't you and your gang asking Messi to play for free?

So he'd have to start a GoFundMe to take care of his family and thousands of others who depend on him for their upkeep, including his foundation, right?

I want you to repeat this weird logic on Twitter now that Messi fans are on rampage asking for blood. Just try tweeting it then see what happens within the next 2 hours.

Debroslink how far?

jpmoriarti:
Selling off deadwoods like Grezimann, Braithwaite, Pjanic, Coutinho, Umtiti would be a huge boost for the squad. Over 70 million euros of salary off the book. If Laporta sells well, he can raise up to 150 million from the 'achikota ekwe onu' sale off.

I still like Junior Firpo though. He should remain with the team.

Get rid of the fraud, you mean?

BykeLaByke:

Which is why I believe Halaand is a must get this summer.

Regarding Conman,I believe Laporta will make the best decision for za club.

Yet you still dey cry over Fraudssi.

None of all these things you mentioned consign Florentino Perez sha. Nobody will get special treatment from him or Madrid, not even Messi.

The man is a con man
He knew exactly what he's gonna do...he even brought in Aguero to complete his make-believe.
And like the proverbial thief that comes at night, he strucked rendering them Cule into that emotional unbalanced state where they can neither blame him or praise him.

Nah... I doubt that. When he's not ma.d

Congratulations to Atléti.....

Nice job done. Even tho the win was made easier by flopping Barca and Madrid, it's a nice refresh.

At least, the league looks more competitive. See gap with Sevilla sef, not much. Look at the Europa League positions, very tough. Even relegation was down to the wire. Bigger and better TV rights deal awaits now and better marketability. Hope Tebas is wise enough to leverage this instead of some of his stupid Bartomeu-esque style of innovation.

I'd say I was highly entertained this season. It's now time for Laporta to start the rebuild. For now all this restructuring rumors and overhauling of 4-14 players, I'm taking with a pinch of salt. Na so dem whine and disappointed person last season.

Although, this is Laporta and he's done it before, so there's still hope. The Coming weeks will be quite interesting, especially May 31st.

Abduleez1 bawo?

I go comot all of una receipts today.

jpmoriarti:
Who said we must wait for 3 yrs to become competitive again? Hell, we lost our competitiveness since like last 4 years. Messi's departure won't change much in terms our football provided an adequate striker is drafted in.

Messi's departure will only affect the market value of the club. Absence of his enormous salary will even represent a big heave of relief on the club's coffers. If Laporta's gets his acts together properly, get a competent coach, we will be fine without Messi. Look at Madrid, Zidane may not have won trophies this season but Madrid is still very competitive despite sale of CRonaldo. ManCity do not have any player in Messi's caliber, but they are the team to beat. If we can have a team as competitive as this City squad, who cares if Messi is part of it or not?

The only sensed cule on this thread, the rest na brainfarts.

BlueAngel444:
OMG this guy is an emotional manipulator, my my


Laporte prevented Messi from literally owning the fvcking club. Imagine owning Messi so much money, Messi should have rejected huge salary and become worshipped by the fans na.

All this Hollywood tears. Like a Wife crying because she divorced her broke husband

Smart Barca fans owe Laporta a debt of gratitude. He exposed the rot that went on while Bartomeu kept papering the cracks. Foolish man should have allowed Messi go last season, recouped some money and gotten his ungodly wages off their book but na lie. Messi was on 70m euros a year. Griezmann 45m. It was a bubble that was bound to burst

tesppidd:
Laporta it is!

tesppidd, dippset, dippshit

biomustry:
Laporta on Twitter: "To see Messi happy Bartomeu has to go - now"

Yinmu.

Rather, he sent away the fraud.

Laporta! I just like that man

Hope you like him now?

ALEXAPLAYME:

See bursting.

ThierryJay:


For a moment, you had me checking that your moniker again and again with this comment But then I got the memo and hereby approve!

As expected, the footballing world has been assembling on Messi' page to pay homage to the greatest sports person the world has ever known.
Your favourite superstars from rival clubs and leagues past and present are literally "marking" the register.

Despite all of these happenings, I know Laporta did well. Some one, or people had to be sacrificed and it's sad it had to be Messi. But all in all, it was bound to happen. Bartomeu and that other guy ( don't want to mention his name cos a Spanish friend bears the same thing) killed Barcelona, right before all of these happened.
All in all, let's see what the transition brings.

obonujoker:


No fear bro, this will happen as usual...

ThierryJay:


And so the post-Messi era truly begins!

Tbh, the only bright point I see in this line up is Depay. Would also like to see how Grizzy would fair after now being mentally free from Messi's shadow.

True
little expectation from Fati
but we could get through if Cowman get his tactics right and our attack line is clinical
i also see Puig get some playing time

Time for guys like Griezman, De Jong to earn their keep.

Laporta is not the reason for Messi's departure. I know you are just a troll, so you won't understand.
