Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[SebastianBlue]

Wanted one all fucking day but put it off as i thought i might get lucky tonight.

Now told i've no such fucking luck and no chance of sneaking one in either.

Fucking fuming!

Frustrated, Dumfries & Galloway.

Genuinely thought you were talking about missing out on kabob...

Exactly what Nathan Ake announced today!

Really? Missed that

They've clearly nicked this from earlier in this thread.

It’s all part of @Ric’s holistic, feedback loop marketing plan.

At 33 and a few months, Juventus paid €88M (and €12M in agents fees).

If we can’t get Messi on a free, I wouldn’t go close to that. I have no inside knowledge, but I believe he wants to come to City.

I think don’t think his level will drop for at least two years and think we’ll pay a fee if he signs, I also think that if we pay a fee it’ll come out of Messi’s overall package

I think it will spell the end for Mahrez if he signs so I’d shift him at 29 and swap the place out in the team.

If this is on we simply have to get it done.

I think Barça will refuse the free and Messi would play for them again as I can’t see him going on strike, at 34 if he were to active the clause next year I think Barça would probably want the wages off their books anyway.

How much is an unmotivated and potentially disruptive Messi worth to them for 1 year??? That’s the question... At £52M in wages I’d guess at about £30M.

We should stay well out of this once we’ve agreed a package for him based on a free and that’s exactly what I think we’ll do.

If Barça come to us and say we want rid we’re in a strong position.

Good post blue

Well that puts me in my place lol Happy to be wrong where Messi not coming sooner is concerned! Lol

Don't be disheartened - t's a tough environment is BM, and welcome!

It is outrageous the way that Barcelona are handling this. The very least they owe him is to honour the spirit of the contract. Going to court will damage their image.

In the end, this will come back to bite them. Imagine how agents will treat negotiations with Barcelona going forward. Just at the time they need to embark on an enormous rebuild. This could easily dissuade other players from joining the club or extending their contracts.

If they’re going to treat their most loyal servant this why, what treatment could they expect? No matter how this ends, Barcelona have already made themselves look to be the bad guys.

Really? Missed that

This is obviously a coded message that Messi is arriving in 6 days...

Not my money but that's too much, £50m plus the pair (£50m) is pushing it but Garcia wants to go and Angelino isn't going to get a chance with us.

He has the tiniest dog and then tidiest Mrs.
The latter is par for the course in football.

Edit: Talking Ake here

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Be typical if we get Messi and we can’t actually watch him live.

 

[wattle]

Oh ok haha. Obviously :)

 

[BLUEMATT23]

We will sign the best player in the world but still need a sodding left back and centre back
The club must have its thinking cap.on still here.

Looks like everything is paused while we wait on Messi, don't see any other movement. Whole transfer market seems to be paused.....

Now I’ve let that go he’ll be imminently burgled, sorry Nate

Fuck that he has clause in his contract that says he can leave for free.

I got off lighter than expected for a first post tbh lol Yeah I have seen some of the usual welcome rituals over the years and the obligatory rag and dipper accusations. Haha Thanks for the welcome mate!

 

[Jim Tolmie's Underpants]

JTU, it's late and I'm a bit pissed. Are you seriiously saying that's for real

Give me £5 and I'll tell you!
