Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[cjn]

I don't think Messi is going anywhere, but the "he's doing it for a contract" stuff is really dumb. He's probably made like a billion euros in his career already and is currently making close to, if not, €100m a year under his current contract. Barca meanwhile are a complete wreck financially, haven't put a good enough team around him every since Neymar went to PSG, and probably can't pay him more even if they wanted to without taking it from elsewhere and making the team worse. He wants management changes so he doesn't waste the last few years of his career, not a few extra Euros.

He has gone and Poch is to take over?

Lol. I don't suppose there is a link of any substance

 

[whipper]

He has gone and Poch is to take over?

Poch? Not a chance, more chance of Brain Horton coming back.

 

[RayCTID]

It will if Koeman tells him he can do whatever the fuck he wants (even more so than now).

Good luck with the team ethic with that

I don't visit the the Tolmie thread so often, but how reliable is the @93.20 guy, who said there is no chance of Messi

Very reliable

 

[simon23]

He has gone and Poch is to take over? If thats the case then its Adéu Messi

Peps agent has said he will be at city next season

 

[lonestay]

You know its close season when the Messi thread clicks into high gear ! One day we wont have this excitement.

Brian Who.

I was undecided until I read this Nightmare scenario. You weren’t posting like all that’s a good thing, right?

Of course it's a good thing, especially for the club financially. It puts our profile onto a different level and brings in so much attention. Every player we'd go for then, we have a 50% better chance of acquiring because we have Messi.

The man beats teams before he's even gone on to the pitch. Imagine a trio of Messi, KDB and Aguero. The games would be won before a ball is kicked, especially at places like Anfield and Old Trafford.

Rumours in Catalonia indicate Messi is coming to us with Bernardo Silva going their in exchange.
Gutted if true.

Messi or a guy we don’t trust in a chumps game, gutted I am not.

 

[OliMCFC]

Think if it's ever going to happen, now is the time.

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

Messi or a guy we don’t trust in a chumps game, gutted I am not.

I think 80% of City supporters would have rather had Bernardo in the 11 v Lyon than Gundo.. don't see how that's an indictment, but also I do know what you're saying. Pep didnt trust him and thats what matters.

Obvs. would love Messi but I also would not want to let Bernie go the other way.

 

[shevtheblue]

Good luck with the team ethic with that

Yep, has long been a problem at Messi FC, i mean Barca FC.

 

[markstephenhickey]

Elections not until March, be very interesting to see Messi reaction over the coming weeks.

Pep is on record saying that Bernardo is so good, that he will take him everywhere he goes... just don't ask me for the link!

 

[mosssideblue]

Peps agent has said he will be at city next season

Is he coming to watch a game?

 

[blueparrot]

Is he coming to watch a game?

Think he meant Pep will be at City.

Yet, he wasn't selected/trusted against Lyon.....

Just doesn’t play him .

 

[peoffrey]

If he came, would it make Pep stay for the long term you think?

That’s a good question. Messi only has a few years left in him at the top level but one of the biggest transfers of all time could see Pep stay.

It might happen.
