Messi 13:40 - Aug 11 with 1055 views | cressi | As said before waterworks How false could have played for nothing what he has accumulated money wise at Barcelona last 20yrs. Five hundred grand a week at PSG Greed never enough money for these players Think it's different when on league one or championship money The top players don't matter 300 or 500 grand never going to work again Hence why Bale will sit it out Not bothered about playing football Rant over | | | | |
Messi on 13:43 - Aug 11 with 1025 views | tractorboy1978 | How many times do people need to be told....even if he played for nothing Barca couldn't sign him as they are over the wages limit even before his salary comes into play. | | | |
Messi on 13:48 - Aug 11 with 975 views | TRUE_BLUE123 | Yep this is waffle. Read the facts. Plus I’m sure he was very sad that he HAD to leave Barca, but why tf would anyone play for free when you are offered millions of pounds a year. [Post edited 11 Aug 2021 13:50]

Is that right though? Is there an automatic ban on renewing player contracts, even at zero Euros, when one is over the limit? I've seen it reported in two ways: A) Barca would still be over the limit even if he agreed to pay for nothing; and B) He couldn't stay at Barca and play, even for free. B would appear to be a mangling of A, unless there is genuinely a rule that prevents him from continuing to play for them for free. He is registered as their player. I do not know of a rule (although I am not an expert in the Spanish rules) that requires a player to be re-registered to their current club once a contract has expired, and I do not know of a rule that /automatically/ bans even transfers of new players (let alone simply letting players stay without a contract), when the salary limit is exceeded. So I'm not sure the absolutism on this one is justified. Plainly he's not going to agree to play for free. He can stop the crocodile tears though, he put in a transfer request in the not so distant past, and he's getting paid obscene amounts... | | | |
Messi on 17:38 - Aug 11 with 670 views | strikalite | I do wonder why the best player in the world isn't willing to play in the most competitive league in the world....the Premier League, why didn't he want to test himself here?? | | | |

Where would be go? City are stacked already. He wanted Neymar at Barca and was always likely to reunite with him. | |

"while there may be some disappointment that Messi is not reuniting with Pep Guardiola, there were enough references from PSG's new no.30 that while his Champions League ambition remains intense, his heart will always be at the Nou Camp." Manchester Evening News.. | | | |
