Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[TINY]

The only slight hope I have is City’s silence is deafening. They could (and arguably would) have contacted the local press pack by now to distance ourselves from it. I’m sure they’ve all been in touch for comment.

In these hours? Why should we?

 

[axlgod]

This is fucked up.

Nah.

What better publicity than this, even if its bullshit?

 

[Gumzy97]

Multiple reports now of us

 

[manimanc]

I’ve not seen this much excitement since we went for Lee Bradbury !

Or mido at 1 minute to 11 on the last day of the transfer window then Pearce trying to get him from London to Manchester in less than a minute.
Was edge of the seat stuff.

 

[cjn]

That source is terrible ,daily star level

Not true. Xavi Campos is considered by Barca supporters to be reliable.

 

[domalino]

OMG

Not Jesus.

They can take Mahrez or Garcia and consider themselves lucky.

 

[Dobsy]

Another potential presidential candidate has now said he's disappointed in the way Messi has behaved. Quite a lot of noise that it's crossed the Rubicon.

It's the hope that kills you.

 

[domalino]

That source is terrible ,daily star level

When did you become an expert on the reliability of Barcelona reporters??

 

[Parisian]

OMG

Hahaha.

Imagine losing Messi and getting Gabriel Jesus.

Would fit well with their usual lowball offers after they have been done tapping a player up.

Do it City. Barça and Tebas deserve it.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

This was never going to be a "Messi announces he's signing for City" thing because of the legal battle that might come up over the release clause.

Abu Dhabi might like to be quick and silent, but they aren't going to pay €200m+ to avoid a little noise around this deal.

In business, and those who are the sharks testify, then you eradicate potential competition, not invite bidding wars...

this is playing out in the powers brokers worse nightmares!

 

[Stoned Rose]

OMG

Imagine being a Barca fan and going from the greatest player ever to Mr Offside.

 

[markbmcfc]

Nah.

What better publicity than this, even if its bullshit?

We’ve done it loads of times before. Especially when we believe we’re being used.

Sam Lee gave an interesting account of how City brief on the why always podcast. Worth a listen.

 

[Gumzy97]

Gerard romero is tier 1 for barca news right?

hes saying Gabriel jesus and Eric Garcia involved in any deal

 

[LevyBee76]

this makes sense, saves a bit of face for Barca... .

 

[WallyA]

Give em Mahrez, not Jesus.

 

[markbmcfc]

Wtf is a Messi Mambo

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

this makes sense, saves a bit of face for Barca... .

Can we throw Gundo in the mix?

 

[TheFatAndUglyPhilFoden]

Looks like he used us to get his own way at Barcelona, what a player but what a ****

Either they keep absolutely ruining the club or he leaves. Seems perfectly fair for Messi to do

 

[Chris in London]

Feed the GOAT
Feed the GOAT
Feed the greatest of all time...


oh, is that my coat?
