It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[Neville Kneville]

FIFA authorise the transfer and then Barcelona, or maybe even La Liga?, can sue City.

It could start again.

If FCB know that Messi is about to press the button, they may negotiate. Ideally I don't think City, Barca or Messi want to go through the courts.

Maybe.

I was under the impression that previously FIFA had set a value on a player in similar circumstances.

Then one party chose to challenge that in court.

If Messi is correct, perhaps FIFA can set the value at 0? If so I'm not sure there would be any point Barca going to court. But both those are my guesswork.

Slightly different topic. We aren't in fir Thiago are we?

Apparently Wijnaldum to barca is done for 30m. Bayern are asking the same amont for Thiago

£30mill for Gini and £90mill for mane sounds very unlike Liverpool

 

[wattle]

It's like Groundhog day in here.

What’s Groundhog Day?

 

[burning blue soul]

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

if what you say is true Tolm, and the Messi kid arrives on Friday, can we all lobby the club to arrange a quick friendly game next Tuesday, at say..... Stoke (if it's raining that night). just to finally put that trope to bed?

We need another one of those like I need an arse appearing on my head.

Where is the mane news from? Where is he off to?

 

[Calv_from_the_frog]

Those were my initial thoughts but it has been stated on here many times that Messi would come from a separate contingency budget and wouldn’t affect our other business

Drom my point of view its not really a money thing (I think we'll have done our sums extremely well), more a time constraint thing before other people get to those who would naturally be our targets.

I just hope that we aren't concentrating all of our efforts trying to get this over the line, because none of FIFA, UEFA or La Liga have any interest at all in Messi coming to City.

Should have made it clear... I would like him a city with gundo going the other way

 

[himalayan_blues]

who wouldnt want this player, even if he is 33 years old.

Not 'as' bad, but still.

Foden or Bernardo could replicate what he does, with a weeks training, but quicker.

Missed a trick not having another amazon series last season and this with the potential transfer window we are having and the whole covid thing and the chance to reclaim the title etc

We might doing something to put out on our own media like we did for the last few weeks up till may last year

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

You're a fucken legend when and if this goes down. Messi my hero? Nah fuck it. Tolmie is

Both.
If all this turns out to be true, we can have nothing but admiration for Messi’s conduct and virtue/principles throughout this.

Nobody can accuse him of being all about money. Unlike Barca.

 

[Decepticon]

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!

 

[g180aj]

Where is the mane news from? Where is he off to?

Something in the media this morning saying "Liverpool set mane price amid Barca interest"
Saar supposedly a replacement for 40 mill

That would be a serious downgrade
