Messi plans to train next Monday, August 31, under the orders of Ronald Koeman in what will be the coach's first training session since becoming Barcelona head coach. Until the dispute over his contract is solved, Messi wants to give the feeling of normality and, as such, he will go to the club's training ground. The 33-year-old does not want to meet with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu. The president wants to speak with the player directly and try to convince him not to leave, but the Argentine does not plan on talking to him.

You know far more than you let on so i'm coming straight out with it and asking....any more news on this?

Well apparently there was a picture of his wife holding his banana from years ago - that’s really all I am aware of on this particular subject [emoji2369]

 

[M12Blue]

If he does sign for City I can't wait for the media reaction. I reckon it'll be on the lines of;

Obscene wages as to secure mercenary signing.
Why CR7 is better than Messi.
United refused to budge on Messi wage demands ( they didn't want him anyway )
If pep doesn't win the Champions League this season, his whole career is tarnished.
How does the Messi signing affect City and FFP.

It'll be hilariously negative.

Will be get a hateful letter to the Prem saying it not fair and they’ll scream and scream and .....

who the FUCK is simon Jordon?

 

[Chi-town blues]

So all these itk pseudo journalist on twitter know messi personally ?

 

[Shads]

Would they run the same opinion, if Utd were in for him?

I could Read the same contract once and concisely and with good legal precedent make a case for almost clause to mean both sides of the legal argument. Ignore what you read in the press regarding the legal side. They are getting people to tell their readers what they think they want to hear...

who the FUCK is simon Jordon?

Some guy called Simon Jordon.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

The transfer fee is the sticking point as we can’t have another legal case hanging over us, so do need to come to an agreement with Barca.

We can only hope that they appreciate Messi’s wishes and do not price him out, which they could.

Signing Messi would be a watershed moment for any club, but for us it would be beyond measure. It would given credence and respect to what we have achieved.

It would be the moment that set us on our path to becoming a true top tier of club, above Paris, Liverpool etc.

Where people say the deal will pay for itself, it will but probably not as quickly as people assume. However, the legacy of signing him for his 3 years of playing might move the project 10 years on. It will have a significant impact on his catching United up in terms of revenue and pulling away from Chelsea/ Arsenal etc.

For those worried about age, take confidence in the fact Messi would only come here if he feels he can enhance his reputation by doing so.

He has all the money he ever needs and he would need this move to be a success to enhance his reputation.

He would be extremely motivated!

We might also get to see Pep for another 3 years if this deal goes through.

Quite simply put it’s a game changer

We haven’t got a legal case hanging over us, have we?

 

[mike1923]

He’s busy saying that nobody should be having a go at slab head, as he’s launched an appeal. I’ve heard of a lack of self awareness but he’s on a whole different level, the wankstain....

It’s only fair. After all he reserved judgement on us after we appealed to CAS... the fucking speng

They make exceptions for special players in the MSL.

To be honest, if it's true that's he's already been in contact with City, then I can imagine our side saying to him "It's okay, go to training, we'll sort it". City will be keen not to be seen as encouraging Messi to go on strike and Messi will want to give the image to the supporters that it is the hierarchy of Barca that's the problem.

Christ he sounds like he's proper ITK

 

[BringBackSwales]

People still moaning about is age and debating if he can play for more then 2 seasons and press and run etc!!!

good players with football Brains like sheringham, scholes ,Lampard, Zlatan etc don’t need their pace and to run about and they all copped fine in the late 30s in this league , I think people think the premier league is a lot better then it is ffs.

33 year old vardy just hit 25 goals in a shite team.

messi is he signs wins golden boat ,most assists , player of year ,ballon dor..

It’s Messi ffs people are acting as if we are signing Andy Cole or Robbie Fowler .

this is the greatest ever player with the most skill and best footballing brain you will ever see in your life time !!

David Silva was never blessed with pace, didn’t do him any harm in our team either

 

[manimanc]

Would they run the same opinion, if Utd were in for him

Utd WAS in for him but have decided to go for Sancho instead.

Big relief to see that even though the rags can afford messi they don't want him anyway. They want Sancho instead, and in fact might not even want him and prefer David Brooks from Bournemouth.

They’ll probably make do with re signing a former world class midfielder who they let slip through the net a few years back...



















Tom ‘Zizou’ Cleverley

 

[Neville Kneville]

I reckon that’ll be the case, if he’s banging them in and wants to stay he won’t leave. I think it’s just a gesture of good will to say, you’ve got a 5 year deal with our group, no other club will offer a 5 year deal to a 33 year old really. But we can.

I would hope so, but going off the slapped arse reactions of fans over there re Lampard, I really hope they make it very clear that is the case.

Lampard was 36 at City and he was well past his best. Why are Barca pushing him out of the door then if he is such a great footballing asset?

I believe this is as much about promoting the City Football Group across the world as anything else because from a footballing point of view there are better ways of spending £400m. Football is now global big business.

I agree, I mean KDB just got 20 assists in a season and is called the assist king.
Messi featured in 33 games and got 22 assists, he also scored 25 goals. Most players who’ve come to the PL from La Liga in the last few years have ripped it up. Ronaldo went to Juve 2 years ago at 33, he’s not stop banging them in and he probably won’t for 2-3 years. Messi will be able to play at the highest level until he’s late 30’s. Yeah it would be amazing if he was 2-3 years younger. But right now he’s still as good as he ever was and that prospect is insane.

 

[Astrozombie]

Looks like Barca are the new AC Milan. Who saw that coming?

Like 90% of all people on internet that talked about what will happend when Messi leaves Barca, for the past years.

Sell mahrez to Barca, Chelsea, Inter or PSG
