Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[asahartford1]

I don't think it can be said anymore that the money that it would cost to get Messi will not impact anyone else. We won't be signing Messi and no one else. Besides, I don't think its even 100m, he can leave for free I believe.

Don't believe all that you believe.

I know its probably not all barca fans but the way they've turned on him over these reports, wow calling him a snake and some fans on twitter calling him a coward if he leaves barca now.

1st off, u can't compare Sanchez to Messi!

And I am pretty sure, u wont hear a single grievance from raz and KDB, coz it's Leo freaking Messi!! Who @33 is better than all our players.

He commands such wages and rightfully so.

We made the right decision regarding Sanchez ( with the dressing room troubled due to his silly wages) and IF MESSI GIVES ANY INDICATION to Pep / Txiki, I am pretty confident we will make the right decision as well.

You are thinking from a supporters perspective, the Owners perspective maybe very different, relating to what i mentioned in my previous post.

Exactly - even at 33 he's still better than anyone in our team, including super Kev.

The president's interview snippets on my Twitter time line, he does come across as very shameless

 

[Asa's left peg]

We've told him we have Cleverly in the bag. He couldn't resist.

Fading star.....that's enough BM for me today...

Yep I'm with you some shite on here today

He is the greatest player of his generation but he is not that player now.

He plays for the club he loves, why would he want to come to us? His family are settled, happy and love Barcelona, they are going to be happy coming to Manchester?

Two years ago, I would have broken the bank for the guy, but not today, let him stay at Barca, there icon, he will never be ours.

Juve gambled with Ronaldo, it's failed and in my opinion Ronaldo is in far better shape than Messi. Ronaldo 31m euros a season, it's killing Juve and the team and club is suffering as a result. I can see them losing Serie A next season.

He had the most goals (25) and the most assists (21) in La Liga this season and if by some miracle he actually turned out for City next season, he'd likely be the EPL's top scorer and assister even in the same team as Kev.

Would be one of those signings that logic goes out the window. When the greatest ever player wants to play for your club, you take it. His age, wage, position etc is irrelevant. It's literally Lionel Messi.

@FCBarca what do you make of this?

 

[skyblues]

Good. Now we can finally close this thread :)

 

[Neville Kneville]

TBH it makes us look desperate esp after all the recent "City crash out of CL again" news. The fee he'd require would fund 2-3 high level younger players who we really need.
He'll calm down and come to his $ense$ and will finish at Barca.

What would be 'sensible' about staying at Barca ? They are a fucking multiple pile up, rather than a car crash.

If he's lazy & greedy, he'll stay at Barca. If he's got any love of football & any balls, he'll drop his wages to a realistic level & enjoy football somewhere else for a few years.

Hint: senses was bookended with "$"... two of them. That means motivation by money. I didn't say it was the "sensible" thing.

Well, he would say that!

Fair enough.

I don't want him anyway. City would just become his backing band.

Definitely he would be an asset for us on the pitch though & for any other club.

Yeah, it would be like Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band......epic,

More like Elvis joining Led Zeppelin imo.

The reason Messi is quality is because he's a team player. So I disagree I think he'll blend into the team. I reckon him and DeBruyne will cause havoc.

They would, but we wouldn't be City, we'd just be Messi, and rely on him, then he'd retire & Pep would fuck off, with KDB in his 30s etc.

He obviously is. The Isco thread started twenty years ago and it's still open.
