It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

surely it’s not that simple though? It’s possible the economics don’t/can’t work. New contracts for Serb, Kevin, Raheem would Have to follow.

it would totally go against our conduct as a club with regards to paying whatever necessary to Get someone over the line. I want to believe but I dont see us paying what’s needed.

Why would new contracts have to follow? This wouldn’t be us signing Sanchez for 500k a week to waddle around the pitch for a few weeks before being paid to go to Inter.

This is Messi, with respect to all our players none of them in their wildest dreams can produce a season that Messi can on a bad year. it’s a very easy job for Txiki if players agents start banging on the door for better deals “your client produces Messi numbers then we can talk”

Any news on ezzy’s 6 lol

It would just about cement 2020 as the most insane year ever.

 

[BringBackSwales]

There are a lot of Barca fans outside of their offices protesting and calling for Bartomeu to resign. Maybe he'll stay after all

Hope he doesn’t bottle it like Kaka

We are a different beast compared to the days of Kaka.

Mate we will absolutely pay what it takes. Messi would make City iconic club forever. This is priceless.

This kind of prestige matters.

to be probably 1 of 2 clubs that the greatest player of all time has played for could be very, very, important. It would make the etihad a footballing shrine

More likely 6 blasts on a crackpipe than 6 signings...

We are guaranteed to see a lot of crap the next few days, just remember what you heard before Pep signed.

He was going everywhere but to us...

Italy, Spain, South America, suddenly plenty will make claims about how much he will cost, how much City are willing to pay, how much he dreamed of playing for United, how Paris want to use Neymar.

Eyes on the prize. If Messi does leave Barca and doesn't join City, half our executive will have to resign.

Believe.

Fucking hell!!!!! - not much else to add to that

Bless sky sports, they've obviously had the big chief send the "city can't afford Messi" memo round as they've changed their tone since 7 o'clock from city is the only team who could afford him to PSG look favourite to land him.
They must be hurting immensely.

the econmics wont be the problem - that will already be all worked out.

the only stumbling block i can see is if someone like PSG, Milan or others turn his head with an offer he cant refuse. There will be his mates at other clubs on him now convincing them to join them...lets hope Kun has his number on speed dial!

Isn't Millsy the Mosher a really old username from the past? Like over a decade ago.

That’s me ;)

Sky you gotta love them, anyone would think they dont want to see Messi in the prem! oh hang on they dont unless he wears a red shirt .

 

[chesterbells]

Fine,he knows a lot about barca

Seems to, indeed.

 

[manimanc]

It wasnt an aggressive question

Is that the same as aggressive walking?

From what I saw it seems ffp doesn’t apply to PSG

Sky are fucking shitting themselves at the thought of Messi joining City

That's what I thought as well. Strange comment to make.

 

[deano ou812]

Hmmm Ezzy mentioned 6 signings,maybe he got totally mixed up and meant someone will be signing by the 6th day as in 31st of August. ;-)

 

[Gumzy97]

This could get ugly.
