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

[higgi1p]

A player who has been at a club for a certain time, who is a certain age and who is in the latter stages of his contract is legally entitled to buy out the final year/s of his contract for the salary owed.
Messi ticks every box, we can basically buy out the final year of his contract. Talk of 150m is nonsense from a basic legal standpoint.
We might toss them Garcia and Angelino as a bone to ease the deal but Jesus is worth coniderably more than the final year of Leo’s wages so that sounds like bullshit

Thanks for that

issa kaboure ,weve signed him ,and loaned him back to his old club, cant see any info on bluemoon

Who?

 

[Keeper!]

Very true but we also know that given any opportunity to hurt City they will take it even if they are on shaky ground. I wouldn't want to take even minimal risks.

His contract situation is a minefield for all parties.
I am sure IF he leaves a compromise will be reached, none of the parties involved will want this to go to the courts.

€20 plus Mahrez, Gundogan, Otamendi and Garcia.

Gets £400k ish off our weekly wage bill.

Messi, Koulibaly and Aouor in.

Carlsberg don’t do summer transfer windows, but if they did...

Barca need to shift players not add 4 more deadwood players on huge wages.

At best they will take Garcia and Angelino as they do have a need for them and their contracts will be half of Mahrez or Otamendi.

With Suarez and Messi "going" they will need at least on striker.

Well, I think Jesus could go definitely. If not they could finally put Greiz in his best position and they can put Coutinho and maybe even Dembele around him should both of those stay.

 

[axlgod]

What time does Tolmie get up?

 

[Claytop]

It's going to be a hell of a couple of days with these 6 signings to all arrive.

Mane's

I know he aint a striker,but,apparently Mane's agent is touting him to Barca.

 

[waspish]

He references a sports lawyer who should be an expert. We know nothing is black and white and different interpretations can exist but that's a problem. We could do without uncertainty. I am sure City will check this out because Tebas will exploit any opportunity he can to nail us. We can't afford any risks.

Is this sports lawyer a scouser? We know that bias is in built even with intelligent people.

Nice, make our opponents weaker!

Contracts are lethal, even for the best lawyers, the arguments and appeals would go on for months.

This joke is the gift that keeps on giving haha

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Wake up @tolmie's hairdoo i want you to talk dirty to me.

 

[skyblues]

True that pre-season/training starts monday?
Damn, I expect a lot of transfers this upcoming week!

 

[BlueCityfan]

Wonder how this Messi thing will affect our other dealings? I doubt it will put us off Koulibaly/A top CB. we simply can't afford to not sign one.

But can we afford another LB, or a midfielder to replace Gundogan? Not complaining if a CB + Messi is the only deals than happen btw. :)

That said, if we replaced Zinchenko with a top LB. Gundogan with a top class CM/DM. And signed Koulibaly and Messi. We would pretty much have the perfect squad. I'm not even kidding.

 

[Gio's mate]

What time does Tolmie get up?

About Midday. Then at 13.30 he goes to the gym for FIVE hours!!!

 

[SouthStandStander]

Will someone please knock on for @tolmie's hairdoo and see if hes playng out

 

[BlueBrain]

Sorry guys @tolmie's hairdoo was admitted to hospital yesterday due to the 5 hour straight erection he sustained last night. My sources tell me he will be discharged later today and his drs have advised him to stay away from future messy situations.

If the season ended on the 23rd and the clause is, as rumoured, 10 days after the end of the season, then that means the 10 days ends at end of play Wednesday 2nd September. So maybe a week today we'll know. Just a case of wait and see if Barcelona can persuade him to stay now but it feels like too many bridges have been burned. The Puyol and Suarez reactions in particular show it's open warfare over there.
