Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[The Stockport Iniesta]

COULD WE PLEASE HAVE JUST ONE THREAD ON MESSI,FFS.

One thread would move faster than the speed of light, we'd need to gather all the Worlds top physicist's to monitor it.

Boss Messi Aguero

 

[Dax777]

no they cannot.
if you think we are able to gift , Laporte, Silva, Jesus, Ederson and others you are not the sporting director i thought you were

Apologies. I was assuming they didn't need those guys. Lol. You know I'm the Sporting Director you think I am. I build teams in my head with utmost ease. Lol.

This has Alexis to City written all over

We are all thinking this wont happen to typical city but we have not had this much fun for years,if he does come it is a bonus,just enjoy being in the conversation

 

[I'm Blue]

the reactions here are very strange.if that will happen it will hurt the team massively. Is he really able to make the difference anymore? The last years tell us, no. I'd rather see that money spent into the future of the team. It's a marketing gag, nothing more.

Lol

Haven’t a clue how this will pan out in the end. Whether we’ll get him or not.
I was of the opinion at the start that this was part of the yearly game with Messi where he would ultimately end up staying at Barca.
But it seems now or never for him and he really is nailing his future colours to the mast, it would seem.

Seeing this I think we are playing it cool and properly. I don’t think our team would wish to leave him exposed with his arse out, but will have a cost and risk analysis done past which they won’t entertain Barca.

We have a great team that know what they are doing as I’m sure Messi does too.

However this turns out I think already the media exposure for City no matter how the usual suspects slant it, is nothing but a positive and will have put us up on a higher platform, that without him having signed yet.
Merely the suggestion that we are the only club Messi will join. His choice. The only place he would trust.
Let that sink in. They can try spin it any way they like. This and the CAS ruling are the biggest wins we’ve had this season.

This is a big kick in the teeth for our detractors.

I was absolutely convinced he was taking the piss & I didn't want the circus anyhow. We play great football without him imo, just need a defence.

But I concede he really means it & seeing the reaction of certain elements in the media, plus the agony of the Cartel, their fans, it's just going to be a repeating kick in the bollocks, for all of them, week in, week out, until their eyes are busting out of their heads, then kick them some more.

That's the one that been making me dream. Kev's assists to Leo, Leo's assists to Kev. “After you!” “No please, after you, I insist…”

As long as one of them bloody shoots!

Otherwise it’ll be a game of “closest but not over”.

One thread is the Messi thread, one thread is the annual tolmie thread. Just so happens that Messi is taking over all discussion at this moment.

Look at the disharmony he is causing already.
He shouldn’t have that much control over the transfer threads. He’s causing trouble with the other players transfer threads. He’s not worth it.
It won’t end well.

I think this is one of the biggest differences we would see in our play if we sign him, his ability to create space and get a shot away from around the edge of the box is incredible.

Against the teams that are difficult to break down, we seem to lack that person to make space for themselves and shoot. Not only can Messi do that but he will free up space for our other forwards as defenders will be desperately scrambling to try and stop him. Having Messi would make it even more difficult for teams to park the bus against us.
