It’s on days like this you truly appreciate posts like this. Imagine if we had to get our news from Sly Sports. Thank you @tolmie's hairdoo

Gentleman maybe - but scholar is pushing the envelope a little too far

Messi's legal team are lodging papers with FIFA today. They want their man on a plane to Manchester by Friday.

Once his legal team does that how quick is the process from here in regards to Messi being a City player?

In layman’s terms, does this mean FIFA grant a provisional transfer pass and then a fee is decided in court?

Sorry, I don’t fully understand what these papers are. Or maybe I do. Who knows.

Tea time press conference on Friday?

Thanks TH, any idea if that's indicating his wish to invoke Article 17 or to ask FIFA to rule that he's a free agent under the terms of the contract?

I'm only getting the drip of very broad strokes from someone connected that I have known for a long time. As far as Messi is concerned, he doesn't want City giving Barca a damn penny.

It takes it out of his own!

Well that takes care of the fact that Pep, Txiki band Ferran don't want to be seen as the bad guy
