Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Parisian]

What if we get Neymar as well?...;)

You'd need to negociate with PSG. PSG doesn't do clause like that. One of the reason they didn't sign de Ligt.

Just saw the rag Mark Ogden on ESPN say it would be more iconic for Messi to go to MLS and promote football in America than coming to the PL.

He would be saying the exact opposite if Messi was being tipped to join NYCFC.

Still don't get why messi used a fax. I realise he probably hasn't had to do this sort of thing since the 90's, but surely he has Internet?

Apparently he used a Spanish Postal Service fax which has the legally recognised facility of confirming receipt etc.

Faxes still preferred for legal-type communication. More secure, send confirmation, proper ‘paperwork’ etc

Aguero has the no 10 shirt
What if messi wants 10 too
How will that work

He chats to his mate Sergio and he lets him have it. No drama.

I bet he’d say the exact same thing word for word if Liverpool or United had a chance at getting him.

Would you pay 80m for Koulibaly or 100 for Messi ?

Yes

Yes, and it would be more iconic for Mark Ogden to visit Tanzania and be devoured by a pack of ravenous lions than to continue writing about football.

Dont worry mark, we've got that all under control...in 2-3 years time.

The massive hole in that argument are the vast quantity of players in world football who played in July and August despite their “contracts” expiring in May!

They probably didn’t have a free transfer get out clause in them

A minority of players’ contracts expired in May. Some extended their contracts formally. Some extended de facto. Would you please explain where is the “massive hole” in the argument and how it sheds light on the Messi situation?

If not, I’ll assume the massive hole might be found elsewhere.

Edited for accuracy...

Not sure.....Maybe cos it has to be in formal letter and not an email ?

 

[Stoned Rose]

So assuming he signs do we arrange a friendly vs Stoke away as this has all people have talked about for years.
How would the stoke fans react I wonder?

Essential that it'd be on a Tuesday night and it'd have to be wet and cold.

 

[wagonman]

I reckon that if we sign Messi, Mbappe and Neymar, we might have a chance of hanging onto the Carabao Cup...

[SebastianBlue]

Edited for accuracy...

Both are accurate.

Took me a good hour to catch up to everything. I'm sure Messi doesn't want Bartomeu to be able to balance books and escape the bankruptcy. He wouldn't want to come on a transfer fees and neither should we pay a transfer fees for Messi.

Last time someone paid a big amount for a Barca player, the scum benefited.

 

[Blu1]

Can’t wait for the first ffs messi :-)
