Would still be the best player in their 128 year history

They won't be saying that when he is twisting Van Dijk into knots for fun at 33. I'd warn them against playing Milner too!

Glastonbury isn't on this year so fair play for recreating the experience

It’s funny you should say that because I’m currently listening to Different Class on Spotify.

So Pep goes all the way to Barcelona to tell Messi to stay ? I guess Pep hasn't heard of a phone ?

Unrelated to the thread but it reminds me of Prince Andrew having to go to Epstein's gaff in New York (and stay for the weekend) to tell him that they couldn't be friends any longer.

No wonder extremist political campaigns and conspiracy nuts are on the rise when so many people are so gullible that they believe any old random shite posted on the internet

Haha!

Im fine when Messi doesn't come. But the Drama that will come to Barcelona afterwards would be a good Soap Opera

FC hollywood

He is intent on leaving no matter what. He has eyes only for us as his next club. He will be a City player, for what its worth i never post absolutes unless im sure as sure can be.

That is simplistic in wording but taking everything into account i see no other outcome.

The only possible road block would be Barca somehow delaying the move past end of transfer window. Even then, every footy fan on earth would rage at Barca should he somehow miss games or a chunk of the season due to legal nonsense. More than a club? Bartomeu would be the guy who not only drove Messi away but who also made Barca look like the bitter nasty man of football. He would be crucified and the next president would likely take legal action against him.

Something along the lines of Bartomeu reducing the clubs commercial appeal through wreckless business practise etc etc.

Playing devil's advocate here but what if there is some substance to these reports that Pep was trying to convince Messi to stay. Along the lines of :

- I'm not going to extend my contract at City
- Koeman is just a stop-gap and he is aware of this
- I'm coming back to Barca when my contract at city ends
- I want you to still be here when I come back

Then Pep Guardiola wouldn't be our manager right now. There's no way that one newspaper would know and Khaldoon wouldn't and there's no way he would let Pep stay if he didn't have our best interests at heart.
