Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Woody135]

Anyone have the picture from 2008 takeover days when they thought we’d sign everyone and had all the greatest players of the time in city blue?

Can’t find it, but I assume messi is on there.

To think one of them could actually happen is beyond any dreams our fanbase could have had.

Even if it doesn’t happen, what a ride we’ve had!

Ooh hello


City believe Lionel Messi (29) is set to quit Barcelona and have become more confident they can seal a £100m deal for him. [@MullockSMirror]

Messi’s father, Jorge, has no plans to talk to Barcelona about extending his contract, which has 16 months to run. [@MullockSMirror]

29?

He is 33 so are those old tweets?

 

[mancityscot]

surely we are only interested if we are able to get him on a free? no way in hell we will be paying any release clause

 

[BillyShears]

Lol - what do you expect? Khaldoon and Txiki giving minute by minute updates?!

Tolmie’s been completely vindicated on this imo.

As for me, I tend to share less on here recently because I’ve been sidetracked with the forum upgrade and also can’t be arsed with the hassle from certain posters. FWIW, there’s no doubt that we’re in for him. If he leaves, we’ll get him imo.

Tolmie is the goat. This Messi stuff just cements it whether we get him or not.

But I’ll be honest. I believe.

Someone will have a mate, who works for a private hospital, who has seen that he's booked in for his medical also!

Few weeks?
I want to be watching flight radar this afternoon!!

I can barely keep up with 2 threads and the last few fucking pages, never mind trawl back to 2017 lol

I have images of Sane sat with his head in his hands saying "City have just signed who?"

Collyhurst? Don't think so.

Heard some City Officials were spotted scouting the flats above California Wines on Moston Lane. Got to be for him

There is some truth in clubs scouting houses way before new arrivals.
Part of my business involves getting things ready.
I've been ITK many times but would never dream of posting on here.
I also then sort out the houses during/after they have left.

Just to be clear though, i have heard nothing about this move!

No way are we paying the current release clause but if it drops to a sensible level in negotiations between Barca and Messi's representatives then who knows?

If there is a fee then it would surely be down to Messi to drop his wages accordingly.
He can’t need the money and this clearly isn’t money driven or He’d just stay at Barcelona and get payed a fortune.

 

[leo_city]

If Messi wants to stay in Europe he will have to take a pay cut, no club can pay him €1m per week

Only way he stays on same money is a move to Qatar or Saudia

 

[Coatigan]

Won SerieA and he scored a bucketload.
I’d settle for Premier League win as a reward for Messi signing.

It was sarcasm, see pep thread

Yeah doubt this is a concern for him even if he has to take a cut.

Jammy git : )

Just gone through the Athletic article and I cannot possibly see any scenario as of now where Messi signs without absolutely turning the club's runnings upside down, the possibility of missing out on a centre back that's more important, and the fact that we have not even made a sale yet aside Sané, Otamendi remains at the club, Stones' future up in air along with Zinchenko, Jesus, Garcia.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in Italy via help of Chinese owners working up some plot with both states. Seems much more feasible, and also avoids the whole bad guy scenario that apparently Txiki and co want to avoid being ex Barcelona

Can i ask what club you support?

 

[bluemonkey71]

Has anyone deciphered the love boat video? Was it Abramovich’s or Mansours’s?
