He scored 45 goals in his final year with Madrid

Still doesn't look like the same player.

Obviously he's not the same player but he along with Messi are far ahead of most others.

Still not worth the gamble

Depends how much cash would be involved.

Anyway it won't happen, never has & never will.

Imo if he was to leave PSG would probably pick him up.

We havent even tied down Kev to a new deal yet. Messi (if he joined) would be our biggest earner. And players like Raz who has been one of our better performers would want a slice of the pie.

Kev still has 3 years, he's 29 imo there's no rush but that's another reason it wouldn't happen as we wouldn't pay his stupid wages.

Still need to keep the wolves from the door.

Still the best player on the planet and you’d have to be a lunatic to judge him on tonight.

 

[Dazzle84]

For the first time ever I don't think it'd be a good idea. He's the best player I've ever seen, but he just wouldn't do it. We're at our best when we're dynamic, he'd slow us down too much. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I don't think it'd work at all

Would love to have Messi at City just for two seasons.

I know people will say its a short sighted view, but just repeating those words "the best ever player played for my club" would be so sweet. We must never forget where we came from.

He would be fantastic for at least 2 seasons as well and it would further enhance our brand globally.

Hasn't been the same player for a while not just one game. He does need a move away from Barcelona but not to City where it could royally fuck us over for a very long time (even with us winning our appeal).

If KDB sustains his standards next season, and Messi and Ronaldo decline further, he could win the Balon D’or; I feel integrating Messi would alter the dynamic of the team, and subdue De Bruyne’s influence, and we owe it to him to ensure that the team is built around his genius now in his prime.

He joined us 5 years ago and has been a key element of our success in that time, whereas we’ve been trying to tempt Messi every year since the takeover, and he wasn’t interested. Now his legs are going and Barcelona are shite, he might well be interested, but the ship has sailed.

Getting 2 seasons out of Messi would be a fucking dream. It’s now or never though.

Roll on October...FFS Messi!

When you say the same player I presume you mean the best in the world.

We're a club with a cracking history and have been the dominant force in England for a decade. I don't agree with the 'never forget where we came from' thing at all. We shouldn't bow down to anyone, he should want us now.

Hasn't been for a while and not many top level peformances against Barca's rivals. The move will ruin in what we have been trying to build since the takeover. Just for the sake of short term gain.

 

[gomer27]

Not really. You think we will hammer Liverpool at anfield with Messi in the team and Leo scoring a hat trick, its a nice fantasy but not one I agree with.

So your saying if we had Messi you don’t believe we couldn’t hammer them there? Talk about a pessimist

Honestly Ray, I’ve read your posts over the last week or so when it comes to players and I’ve reached the conclusion that we will never agree. I guess we watch the game differently. C’est la vie.
