He'll get fuck all from the refs if he comes here and he'll get kicked to Kingdom come.

It would make sense, but City don't want another court case. Its guaranteed that barca will be hoping to to sue us, because our name has been mentioned already. Tapping up a player, we haven't, but Barca and the world will say we have.

We have to be seen NOT to be involved.

I feel he can just randomly pop up in Manchester and live there. Just because there are rumours of him going to us doesn't mean we're liable. United are there too so Barcelona can't just sue us on the assumption or rumours right?
 
If Bartoshitmeau isn't talking or budging so Messi will have to approach Fifa or
courts for resolution. I hope they approach courts ASAP and get this trf to City done.

In Spain if you don’t have a release clause you can terminate your contract and a judge will decide your value. That’s why in Spain, everyone has a release clause.

But it remains that if he’s under contract that he has a value as an asset to the club (ok decided by a court) and if he’s a free agent Barca have no say.
Additionally, if he’s under contract to Barca and we take him we’ll be punished as a club under EUFA rules (is it rule 17 that says that a club that takes a player under contract to another club is considered to have brought about the breach and that set punishments / transfer bans etc. follow?).
Thus it remains that the key issue is, is he under contract or not because even if a court can set compensation (as applies to the UK as well as a basic component of contract law) we can’t employ him without agreement from Barca, which could only to be gained by paying them what they want, because the punishment by the football competitions authorities would be crippling to us.
Is he under contract or not, and if under contract what will Barca sell him for, remain the key issues would be the case if the release clause was still active.

BBC is even worse. If it was any other club but us there'd be about six articles at the top of the Football page, not just hidden in the gossip section.

If he signs I expect the media will also focus on cost or how he's too old now, or spin it to say our defence is terrible. I also expect a major media wankathon over the next scouse/rag signing. Thiago 'better than Messi'. Fucking ridiculous.

I hope I'm wrong, I really do, but I stand by it. Barcelona get plenty of ref protection, he'll get none of that here I'm afraid.

The whole world will be watching Messi, even the FA aren't that numb.

Let's not forget how good he is on free kicks to, players will be very wary of his skills.

Wow he hasn't turned up. It looks more and more like he doesn't have a future at Barca. I just hope that it is with us. PSG or other clubs could still come in for him with a big money offer.

Scored 51 18/19. then 31 19/20 - his worst return for 12 years and he isn't getting any younger. Past records mean nothing it is the future and he is well in decline.

A 20 goal decline in a season suggests he is past his best at 33. He is currently a rat leaving a sinking ship and I would kick him as far away as I could, rather than pay his stupid wages which will rip the team apart causing long term damage.

Of course he’s past his best at 33.....aren’t we all?
If you like stats, he with scored or created a goal every 66 minutes
Still don’t want him?

Just don't like counting the chickens too early pal. Even though I'm excited as hell. Crazy times.
 
Messi is used to having his own way.
If Barca and Messi become tangled in a legal web, and he refuses to stay, he might not be playing anywhere for a while. Could get messy.
