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

[twosips]

Have you not had any info regarding Messi? You usually have a bit of ITK news regarding transfers.

Nah. I've not asked though tbf.

 

[LongsightM13]

I presume they are now claiming it would allow him to terminate his contract, but they would not be compelled to release his registration.

So he'd be unemployed, until his registration period ran out.

Lower than a snake's arse trick.

Can’t see FIFA or any court standing for that tbh

So it's Messi and Koulibaly? I think Sam Lee hinted on twitter that signing Messi means we won't have the funds for anyone else (other than Koulibaly). So no CB or CM/DM.

Shame, but can we really complain? :)

 

[twosips]

Feels like this video that @tolmie's hairdoo has mentioned is increasingly important. If Messi does decide to release it surely that'll be a game changer. I suspect the fans will be majorly behind any decision he makes.

Don’t you mean bap v roll, or something like that?

Ohhhh come on mate, its nowhere near that big !!

 

[manimanc]

Nah. I've not asked though tbf.

Could you ask on behalf of me then?

I think the ECJ have already ruled that one out.

And its a BARM !!

Can only see this coming out once everything has been finalised legally tbh.

Yes, but it was being said he was releasing it last night!! Have we all missed it? Or something else?

Mollete vs Pan de Alfacar

 

[andyhinch]

this could even outdo the kevin debruyne thread, and that would take some doing, when he was flying in, everyone Was on flightchecker, tracking every minute of his flight, it was bluemoon at its finest

I spent two weeks camped outside Wilmslow hospital, admittedly in the pub opposite :-)

 

[Bobby Heaton Moor]

Not only will Messi create an absolute bucket load of chances but he'll also fucking bury the type of chances we've missed recently.

 

[Chi-town blues]

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

 

[Hart of the Matter]

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

Nah. I've not asked though tbf.

Interested in what effect all this has had on your traffic volume on your Esteemed Kompany broadcasts. Any new followers??

If Messi’s contract is “cast iron” up, then Barcelona will lose in court.
Can Barcelona take the risk of losing the player, losing the court case and then having to pay costs.
Plus compensation for loss of earnings whilst it is dragged through the courts.

More so than an individual, but you're right to point out that it would be best avoided for sure.

Problem is, as I said, it's not entirely rational from their perspective. Bartomeu can't be seen to be cutting a deal as it'll be perceived out there as trying to save his own skin at the expense of the club (ending the debt at that end of his term). He might go down fighting rather than do the sensible thing.

 

[Danamy]

Hope you and your lad are well mate? It’s been a while!

Bonucci is a leader and ideal for us as we bring through the younger centre backs. Bring him in with Koulibaly and have Ake and Stones to make up the 4

Yeah all good this end bud, things have escalated quickly since the last time we met eh? :-)

I feel sorry for the genuine Barca fans that it seems to be ending this way.

We had the honour of watching David Silva play for 10 yrs for us and it was heartbreaking watching him play his last games (especially to empty stadiums) but firstly we knew he was leaving at the start of last season so got to say a long goodbye and secondly we will get to see him one more time in his testimonial -

The Barca fans may get none of this and he has been there twice as long as David Silva was with us and achieved even more. They havent got to say good bye even though it appears the signs have been there for some time and rumours of him leaving have probably been rife there was nothing official.

As a club i dont feel sorry for them but as a group of fans I do

 

[LucahArchie10]

Is that for provisional transfer papers like what was reported on twitter yesterday?

No joke someone needs to nail Tebas to the cross while all City fans stone the cnut!!

Pay per view for city season ticket holders.
You might not be entitled.
