Holy hell. This made me tear up. It feels sacrilegious to pry him from that club. Then again, so much has changed, hasn't it?

I'm the contrary, they've forced him out, and now they're holding him hostage.
After everything he's done and given them this is how they want it to end? Fuckers.

I've learned to separate Barca supporters from their execs. Apparently, the majority at Barca thinks Bartolomeu is the scum of the earth.

It's why we never tried to pry him away, and why Pep has always said he should stay. The club has wronged him so much that he's divorcing himself, which is just sad to think about I guess.

I feel sorry for the fans sure! no issue with Barca fans at all.
But the board have fucked it for them!

Never tried? We nearly bought him in 2017. We were so close.

Probably too much going on to be able to second guess it tbf. If he stays until the end of the season will new President be able to convince him to stay? Will Pep sign up for another couple of years or will he go back to Barca? Do they actually want to keep him or are they trying to hard ball us?

If it comes down to it, it would be worth the £100 million IMO as not only would we be getting Messi but we would also be getting Serge and Pep as well. With the Etihad deal up as well, it would put us in a great negotiating position for a new shirt sponsorship deal.

We're told City made attempts to sign Messi before but it's now a realistic proposition because Messi wants to move, and the fee becomes doable. Barcelona's public position is that the release clause is E700m. Standing in their shoes, I think it is a nonsense to retain an unhappy Messi at the heart of Barca. I believe they will compromise.

And is peddling the oft quoted ‘He’s too expensive, we don’t spend money, net spend net spend, everyone plays for us for pride, a curly-wurly and a packet of seabrooks’ bollocks.

why can everyone in this thread read spanish but me?

Anybody can read any language, understanding it is a different matter!

Being a bellend? Yeah you’ve nailed it?

Thanks .
Means a lot . Irony obviously isn’t your strongest trait is it .

I'd say 70/30 he stays, we would be nuts to pay such for a 33 year old, Messi or not, unless sponsors cover it. I'd say to them what they said to us about Garcia. Accept our derisory offer now or we get him at the end of the season on a free.

I disagree as I don't believe their public position is tenable but we can't do anything now but wait and see.

Has the Coutinho money finally ran out?

 

[Blue Maverick]

Well worth a watch

Unbelievable that it could end this way, but if we can revitalise him with our young side, the next 3 years if he comes will be unreal, let’s hope we can get a full stadium soon because IF he comes it will be a crime if only a few City fans will get too watch him live.

He's changed his too mate, dropped the 16!
