It is amazing where we are now as a club - never thought i would live to see the day

I never thought I would see us lift any major trophy After the 76 LC final. I clung to my childhood memories of that over head kick from Tueart . Fucking Hell .. was I wrong.

Then further down it says an agent is 90% sure Messi will stay at the Nou camp, plus it didn't say it would be tomorrow the announcement, never game a timing.

Mirror reporting Messi signing and Guardiola contract extension being announced tomorrow.
Well that’s fucked any chance of me sleeping tonight.

Please let it be true.

Doesn't say anything about tomorrow

Well those are the rantings of an old loon Barca fan.....

Mullock;


With City's lawyers now examining the clause in Messi's contract that gives them hope they can sign the Argentine for free, beleaguered Barca bosses hope that the Blues will agree to a players-plus-cash deal rather than take a £630million gamble in court.


Sunday Mirror Sport understands that both clubs believe Messi is bound for the Etihad.

And that the only detail that remains is whether Messi signs for City with Barcelona's blessing - or the terms of the most controversial transfer in football history are decided by either FIFA or the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

If Messi's 700m buyout no longer exists because he's in his final year that would also mean that his ability to leave on a free (before his final year) is no longer applicable, no?

 

[kaz7]

confused.com is he saying the end of this season that he’s free?

Yes but as covid extended it barca are saying it has gone past the date than he can leave for free,he is saying the season was extended so the official end of the season was different,fifa should settle this

The same source as saying his current release clause is now less than 50m I think

No

 

[City Raider]

So if all today’s news proves true we don’t spend a penny. He comes on a free and his salary is tied to the value of the club which his signing will increase.

I’m wrong. We make money. Lots of it.

I wonder how many agents they called until they got the narrative they wanted?

You’re quite correct...too much beer...no idea where I got tomorrow from...best have another to calm me down...

 

[BluechesterCity]

Fuck me, imagine De Bruyne, Foden, B Silva, Aguero and Raz all playing with Messi!

 

[MarsLlama]

Long shot, but if anyone's ever seen the episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia where the gang are in a long-winded court case, and at the end of the episode the infuriated judge calls in the next case only to find out it also involves them...

That's how the CAS will feel about City if this Messi thing goes to them.

 

[cjn]

Maybe this is why the lawyers got binned

The lawyers got fired because advising Messi is and was a massive conflict of interest. There's a reason why conflict checks exist.

In Spain, if there is no buy out clause, the player or the club can unilaterally decide to terminate the contract with immediate affect and the transfer fee will be decided by a judge.

thats why Barca keep screeching £700m buy out clause - they don’t have one and they are fucked!!!
