Can I just add a wee bit in here. Best player ever to play football? The guy is undeniably brilliant, stunning, best of a generation. But best to ever play the game? Maybe the best to play in an age when our TV screens are saturated with football coverage. Only ever played in a two team league. Team filled with very, very good players. Best ever in an age that is saturated with social media bollocks and pundits who we regularly agree are full of shit.

Yep, undeniably brilliant, but the best to ever play the game.......my arse.

Anyway, I hope he signs as I think he'd improve us.

Best to ever play the game? Most definitely.

Even if you don't think so - try not putting him in your top 3.

But Messi isn't just any player is he? He's considered by many (perhaps even most) to be the geatest player in the history of the game. The exposure alone for the club difficult to understate. The entire point of getting Txiki and Farran in the first place was to one day entice Guardiola and hope like hell that one day, when all the pieces are in place, Messi becomes available.

That level of planning alone hints that the deal they are willing to offer such an extraordinary player will at the very least have the potential to be pretty extraordinary to.

It's a disconcerting precedent to set. But if any other players in the future were to expect a similar deal, they would have to be proven Messi quality. And there aren't many of those in a lifetime.

Anyone who has progressed in life and/or achieved success will tell you that along the way the negative naysayers will have been in their ear, telling them why they shouldn't take that risk, gamble on that deal. It's part of human nature but the ones who ignore the people trying to hold them back generally reap the rewards.

When we became the richest club in the world this deal, if we pull it off, is exactly the vision I envisaged. The powers that be have put every obstacle in our way to frustrate us. Its like someone winning 150 million on the lottery and being told yes you can move out of your council flat but only to a semi on Altrincham. You have to wait a few years before you can buy that mansion in Hale or Alderly Edge. This is our moment to buy that mansion.

He's no David Silva, that's for sure. :-)
 
Hi, barcelona asks for a price and players, city is not prepared or willing to pay, city wants a free transfer, I think for a few months it is preferable to wait to sign a two-year contract without being obliged to pay a millionaire and players, this may opinion , in the end money has the last word, messi solution is very complicated and only with a lot of money and players could it be solved, the question is whether city is prepared to throw millions out the window. I see if the city does not pay an exorbitant price for a player who is a luxury the best in the world but very expensive at 33, time will tell
