Enrique was asked if Messi was still 'delighted' to be at Barca- the club he has scored over 250 league goals for - after recent reports linked him with a move away from the Nou Camp.

Enrique said: "I don't want to comment. We know things change and a month is a long time." [bBC]

Just trying to picture the argument in my mind. . . . Messi is on the verge of joining chelsea

TC posters: No thanks we have got Schurrle, willian and the Egyptian messi, plus he doesn't track back. How ridiculous does that sound.

This forum is comic relief sometimes.

You are ironically disregarding the most important arguments of those who don't think this would be good for the club:

1. The deal would be financially catastrophic to the club (unless Adidas funded part of it, which is unlikely).

2. The FFP rules would crack down on us.

3. Letting Messi in would likely mean letting Hazard leave.

4. According to Spanish media, Messi's problems at Barcelona have mostly to do with his attitude regarding the discipline demanded by the manager. When the manager wants to take him off the game, he says no. When the manager benches him for one unimportant game, he doesn't show up for training the next day. Now imagine him doing all of this to Mourinho. How well would that work out? According to Guardiola's own authorized biography, the moment he realized Messi's possessive and demanding personality, he basically put Messi on a pedestal and bowed to any demand he made. Can you imagine Mourinho doing that? I can't.

Some things I can't understand from Ballague's interview

Why clubs already punished by FFP rules, like Paris and City, can CERTAINLY fork out 400m for this deal, while Chelsea can not???

And why would Chelsea have to sell a lot of players for this to happen, while Paris and City are safe to sign him w/o major sales???

Chelsea is a bigger club than Paris and City combined, making a lot more money from sponsorship deals, TV rights and stuff. What do I miss here???

Because Man City can buy him as a NYCFC and loan him to Man City, and Nasser Al-Khelaifi doesn't give a fuck about FFP.

Mourinho should buy reus it would be better because his clause is only 20million( what were Dortmund thinking? Hahah). Hazard and reus would be deadly, he would easily bench oscar and willain, and we would save alot alot of money. He would be the best player along with hazard

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Imagine Messi's delight when he turns up at Cobham for training, greeted by John Obi Mikel

[manpe 10,861]

So can we place bets now on how big a salary Messi and his companions will extortionate out of this?

[DH1988 1,347]

He has enough money and is probably wise enough to know that Chelsea, with FFP in mind, can only pay so much.

Lets not forget Cech will be moving on in the summer, we think, which is £170,000 off the wage bill + Drogba (Depending on whether we sign a replacement like for like ST)

The Financial Fair Play is a joke. I think it is a rule to keep us scared because we have a president with money which he began stage presidents with lots of money in big teams that have followed after by Manchester City, PSG and other teams.

I see that if that punishment to Manchester City and PSG last year, but their punishments were ridiculous. Instead I see other teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern making big signings without looking at the price of their players.

This is a great suspicion that is constantly hovering our team. Whenever Chelsea intends to do some signing is the time when some very strange intelligent appears and reminds us as a threat: "Chelsea Care, we will penalize to you with the rule of the Financial Fair Play".

Instead, City and PSG fichan new players and they flirt with everyone.

Besides the signing of Messi we would pay with the help of ADIDAS, TURKISH AIRLINES, FIFA GAME ... I also believe that Juventus owe us money by the issue of Mutu and the UEFA sanction and we can put them to use in that operation. At any step, the signing of Messi we would pay with advertising revenues as it has done for Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo or Bale. The problem is when you pay a fortune for Fernando Torres and we can never recover that investment. With Messi would recover that investment with insurance advertising. I just remind you that RONALDINHO which seems a retired since 2006 player still moves a fortune of millions each year. Messi still moves more million and above remains to TOP PLAYER. His signing would not hurt us to the Financial Fair Play, but it would help us to keep our economic accounts perfectly.

I would like to see City, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern with the same fear that we have the rule Financial Fair Play.

No way this is gonna happen, not until sky sources confirmed it or Messi himself said he is no longer happy. I don't believe that Balague dude said, he is more like jumping in this uncertain situation and make a pure speculation on it. Everyone can say what he has said, nothing 'exclusive' from him.

[magic weeds 446]

I think this is officially a RUMOUR and should not be on the WISHLIST.

[special Eden 78]

Jake Cohen article before the summer: CHELSEA CAN EASILY SPEND 150£m, without sales. And STILL be a long way from any punishment.

http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2014/6/5/5777740/chelsea-summer-transfer-budget

Don't know if he already counted the sale of David Luiz.. But he definitely not take with the sale of Lukaku.

We used 85£m and we get 85£.. Even if i counted the sale of Luiz the net spend would be -50£m.

In my eyes we have 100£ from last summer + sales of Cech, Salah, Shurrle?, Ramires/Mikel?, Moses, Bertrand, Ginkel, Romeu, Marin, Chalobah. +++ New sponsors and Turkish Airlanes. Adidas willing to help out. AND if we are winning PL or CL(both ), there would be much money coming in.

So i dont understand why Jake Cohen always saying this on Twitter.

Jake Cohen @JakeFCohen · 5. jan.

Lionel Messi would cost Chelsea £55m py on FFP books assuming £180m fee + 5-year deal at £350k pw. Simply cannot afford him w/o major sales.

If FFP is a joke, then why Chelsea was the biggest backer of it when making the rules?

That means Chelsea is a joke as well?

Yea right,maybe Cristiano Ronaldo too?
