Gotta know what your talking about before you type. Barcelona were never offered anything resembling the offer you speak of for Rakitic. Barcelona attempted numerous times to include Rakitic in the Neymar return deal and Rakitic wanted no part of it. right a bell ?.

Barcelona made is very clear with Rakitic, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and Puyol to name a few, that if the player wishes to retire, go to a none competitive league such as Qatar, MLS etc; they would be free to leave for basically free as a way of saying thank you.

Bartomeu told Messi the same exact thing, but now Messi changed his mind and said that he wants to play for city and Barcelona understands that you can't power up the richest club in the world by handing him the best player in the world for free.

Nobody here has to take anything personal and City and Barcelona have no reason to get into any sort of issues over this. City honestly are very clear about the subject. Messi you called us and we took a look at it and offered you 750 million dollar provided you work our you last year with Barcelona or come to an agreement that does not infringe in our finances and is allowed by FIFA.

If anything City fans are already getting a sneak peak at the " Other " side of Messi. The greatest footballer who is surrounded by a serious of people who are looking for his finances and a player who is to this day extremely immature. Its been 18 days and this old Captain hasn't even said this mouth is mine regarding the game as the team Captain.

his last big payday????

I’ve heard some bollocks on here but it seems most of it is actually perpetuated by you... clearly you have no understanding of brands or marketing so rather than spouting the same narrative about finances, have a day off, you’re making yourself look incredibly dickish!!!

Am I misremembering or was it also corky who spent the entirety of 2016-2017 telling us how shit Pep was only to disappear for the majority of 2017-2020 only resurfacing in Pep threads when we went out of a tournament?

I was listening to the David Mooney athletic podcast and theh were discussing how many gosls messi would score for us. Would it be 50-60 like all previous seasons or would it be more like 40 because of the age and the transition and hell get 30+ assists instead like last season.

And I just had this moment of childish excitement about the whole thing. This guy is on a different level to anyone who has ever put on a manchester city shirt before.

What a load of bollocks not fit to lace Kevin Reeves boots.

Lineker was a big brand at Barca, most kids had his shin pads of all things, much less at Spurs. Anyone who wants a Messi iconic shirt will still get a Barecelona one, that is the brand.

The deals are all done for next season and fans are mostly locked out, no chance of recouping much, and he could be finished by 2021/22.

Of course it is his last big payday, he is 33 and he will be seeking as much as possible, more than Barca were going to give him. Don't get taken in by the hype like you did for David Haye, look how that turned out.

Just stop, mate. You’re making yourself look a lot dafter than you are. If it was just one last pay day his options in Qatar, China, Japan etc would be endless. Not to mention another year at Barca would earn him 100m. He wants City because he wants to compete and he’s very comfortable working with Pep and the Barca boys in the boardroom. I’m sure he’ll want to prove himself outside of Spain too. It’s pretty much that simple.

What would this mean in the case for Messi transfer ? think it is fairly obvious he will still want to come no matter what happens but would it make the transfer easier to negotiate if this happened?

We'll have Messi before that result will mean anything

No sir, Im a Spaniard who's live in the US for 33 years and has been a Barcelona since 92. I have suffered plenty.

My only reason for signing up for the forum is because Im a die hard Barcelona fan and a recently pretty good City fan and I figured I could share much of the news to come out of Spain with everybody on here because I follow the team very closely in the hopes to save people some frustration.
