Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Father Paul]

No and why would they have to? It's never happening in a million years

This has got batshit crazy at this stage. The wee man will only arrive here on a free and the chances of that happening appear remote. More importantly the value of any big money move would highly questionable both financially and footballing wise in the short to medium term.

Gone for a couple hours and missed more than a hundred pages. Anything new from any ITKs?

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Apparently Messi has just drove past Bartomeu's house

Would people on this forum accept :

Eric Garcia + Bernardo + Jesus + 100M for Messi

What's this rag doing on here ?

There had better not be any truth in this:

No. I want none of this.

 

[eastmanc]

The best one I heard today
Messi at 33 would be a gamble on a 3 year contract
But thiago silva at 36 one a 1 year deal is a master stroke

Not surprised in the least, probably shows that we’re closer than we think.

No!.....would you? Only Garcia Otta Angelino & Gundy should be considered & 2 only

 

[PhdWave]

No. I want none of this.

Comedy gold. Barca has no leverage and they think they can demand this? Not to mention the players themselves won't want to touch barca in their current state.

There had better not be any truth in this:

I really wouldnt want him at that cost. Thats just stupid

Exactly my take on it
The change in reporting on the deal suggests to me that he is definitely coming and they hate it

 

[Wembley99]

I have to keep pinching myself, is this really happening...

The best player of all time, wanting to come and play for City.

What a time to be alive, to be a blue and be able to potentially see this taking place. Pay and/or give what it takes to get this done blues - it's a real moment in history and we will never look back from here.

 

[RayCTID]

I was aiming for mild amusement.
Anything above that great.

Rapture, ecstasy etc is totally unexpected.

Is a Messi / Neymar swap deal considered the most likely?

Seems the most obvious thing for Barca as they'd get a world class and younger replacement.

Also Neymar would then be their star forward. Which is what he'd love after missing out on his original stint at Barca and also get out of being somewhat in Mbappe's shadow as well.

I hope not.

I don't want Messi in PSG anyway. Best player in the world but we already have the cherry to put on the cake with Neymar but we don't have the cake.
We need to reinforce the whole squad.

City is the opposite. Thus, Messi makes sense for you.

Only transfer i would agree (not like it matters) is Mbappé sold to Real Madrid (because they are trying to play the same Bayern did with Sané and maybe even get him on a free) and buy Messi.

All that is irrelevant because ultimately, Messi will make his choice. He is leaving Barça because of trust issue and only City can offer him trust immediately.

Messi finds Discotheque Royale on a Friday night.

 

[bobmcfc]

Very much doubt it. He’d have to self isolate and that isn’t very convenient at this time, there’s nothing on our end that couldn’t be done via Skype and email. I imagine he’ll be very busy in Barcelona the next few days

 

[Parisian]

Don't worry..... SPORT is garbage. They kept say Neymar was going to sign everyday last summer.

Sport is one of the biggest fakenews media ever made.

 

[WestGorton]

Aguero hinting at staying as long as City want him. It's on.

 

[bobmcfc]

I fucking knew calling him Calpol would catch on.

It's only took you cunts about 6 months ffs.

Who’s calpol

 

[Shads]

Well you must have been the only City fan that wasn't.

Naaah. I wasn't There either. Wasn’t at Lincoln either...I know... how dare I call myself a City fan!!

IF he can get there that is
