I don't get it.
Because misinformed people love to immediately jump to conclusions even when they don't have all of the facts that they should. This story sounded like bs from the beginning, and the clarification from Barca only confirmed that. Sometimes you just have to wait and see how solid such a story like this one can really be before you mistake it for fact, and when u don't we get threads like these.

Sport is French. L'Equipe is a credible french paper.

From what I understood it as, Abidal first said Barca didn't pay him and took it back after Barca contacted him.

Both parties explained that the lines in the paper were NOT correct. Please read the press release from both Abidal and Barca.

Abidal hasn't taken anything back publicly. Barca is saying that they "contacted Abidal's representatives" and are making clarifying statements under "mutual understanding".

I wouldn't really take Barca's word until Abidal comes out and says something himself directly... which won't happen until after the WCQ games are over.

How can you be misquoted when the interview video was published and the article was the full transcript without any editorial... how is that even possible? Laughing

Either he made a mistake in his statement or he didn't. He'll have to clarify that himself.

Barca making a statement changes nothing really.. Abidal has to come out and clarify/respond if it was a tongue slip or truth.

 Here's the transcript Nick (http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Abidal-si-guardiola-avait-ete-la/398445).  Video was aired on L'Equipe TV.  It'll be up soon...  It was in 2 parts.

lmao how the hell has this reached 5 pages

a) if abidal wasn't being payed by anybody, it would raise a MASSIVE shitstorm, either back then or now... nevermind this "abidal is not that kind of a guy" nonsense, if he wasn't being paid his agent would have been the shittiest agent in the world

b) barcelona would not release an official statement saying they were in touch with abidal's reps if they weren't, again, if they did they would cause a massive shitstorm with any agent worth a penny

all abidal effectively said was that money wasn't an issue for the club which was, surprise surprise, because insurance was paying him... but no, EVIL BARCELONA RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE

Barcelona really is a terrible club.

I also like how they cut him soon as he got back to match fitness when he was clearly the best they had in that position.

The thing is, unless you are Catalan, you are always "the help". They dont respect others, and never will. Messi is going to see in a few years. Some young Catalan player will step up, and it will be like he never existed.

Cesc is basically seen as ''the help'' and he's catalan.

yeah, kind of agree with che here, even without reading the full interview or watching the video, seems to me like Abidal is the one that made a mistake. That an elite club like barcelona didnt pay a player like Abidal while he was out injured is ridiculous, and when it happened, it would have raise some kind of shitstorm.

Im (somewhat) stunned as to why people still think this is true.

By now you should of already admitted you jumped the gun and was wrong. An apology isnt needed but clearly an admission of getting ahead of yourself.

That's not what say happened though... the rumor is that Abidal agreed to take little to no wage with the understanding that, if healthy, he would get a 1-year extension to prove himself.

Abidal felt that Barca reneged on that handshake deal and made it seem like he wasn't healthy to cover themselves...

So it's not that they did anything illegal... but it is about Barca's management being shady.

Anyhow, he'll comment soon. NT game coming up is too important right now for him to create a distraction.... it'll come out.

Like 1991 said, Cesc is seen as "the help", as was Oleguer, Bojan nor is Alba the most popular player in the squad etc.

But no, keep on being delusional and belive in an quote taken out of context and ignore every good thing that Abidal says about Barça. Heck, you do know that when Abidal retires, he is going to go back and work at Barca, right? If the club is such a terrible club, then why is he returning?

No such rumor has been reported in Spain..

Abidal is currently in France, not Spain. He's not talking to anyone in Spain anymore. So everything coming from him is going to be reported in France. You'll only hear Barca's version in Spain.

But when that deal was "supposedly" agreed on, he was in Barcelona.

Yes, cause Marca and As will only report the version that makes Barca look good :facepalm:

Genius... he's talking about it now, not back then.  Why would he call someone in Spain to talk about it?  He's French and living in France.  Plenty of media here to carry the story lol.

You don't think that the media in Spain would have found out about that deal? I mean, there was a reported in Punto Pelota that found out that Valdes wanted to leave Barca before even Zubi knew..

Plus, Barca not renewing Abidals contract was big talk in Spain, especially after Zubi had promised him a new contract as soon as he was ready to play. So don't you think that knowing everything about the situation was a priority?

He's talking to the media he's comfortable with.... in France.  It was a face-to-face interview in French.  He was doing it because he's on NT and it's a very good "feel good" story for him to have made it back.  He wasn't out to get Barca in any way.  I think he was just upset at Rosell and the reporter asking him about what he went through... it just spilled out.

He even said in the interview that, if Guardiola was still there, Pep would have never let this happen.

He's hardly calling out Barca as an institution... just calling out Rosell.

Maybe you are referring to another article because the one that you posted in the thread.....

All he said was that he doesn't understand why Barca didn't renew his contract and that the reason can't have been for financial reason, because it wasn't costing the club a cent. But he at no point said that he was never paid..

Question: Il a malgré tout fallu convaincre Monaco que vous étiez en bonne santé…

Abidal: Ce qui a été difficile à comprendre, c’est le discours du Barça lors de ma dernière conférence de presse. En affirmant que c’était un choix professionnel, ça a mis le doute aux autres clubs. Ce n’était même pas une histoire d’argent. La preuve, c’est que tous les mois où j’étais malade, le club ne m’a pas payé. Aujourd’hui, j’ai la chance d’avoir la confiance de l’entraîneur et du président de Monaco. Je touche du bois, tout va bien. Mais c’est vrai que j’ai eu une période de doute.
Direct translation of bolded part:  "It wasn't even a money issue.  The proof is that during the months that i was sick, the club didn't pay me."

Cesc is probably the most un-charismatic player at that club though. His own mother probably wouldnt rally around him.

Guardiola then? Loved by all fans, is charismatic and was an icon of the club and yet when he wasn't good enough for Barca he was sold..
