Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[edinburgh123]

If Barca hold firm and refuse to negotiate it surely goes to court. Can't see us signing him for this season if that happens.
Thats a bad situation as a 34 year old messi signing for us doesn't have the same effect. Certain parts of the media are already saying he's past it and he has only just turned 33

If course he is "past it" at 33. There is a chance he is going to play for City!!! Unlike Ibrahimovic who signed across the road just past his 60th birthday, when he was still at the peak of his superpowers

Hilarious that Barcelona didn't send a car for Jorge and he had to get into a regular taxi. It's the little things that people remember.

I’d assume this whole transfer is far further down the line than we are led to believe, consequently Bartomeu knows full well he’s fucked it all up anyway so just being petty now.

I'm pretty sure Barto is just actively trying to be as petty as possible at this point. Most likely because he knows where this is heading. I fully expect him to pay for a plane to fly over the Etihad with a banner reading "Messi has a small peepee".

This doesn’t have the feel of buttering somebody up to have them extend their contract to say the least. If you were to take the extension rumors seriously that is

You laugh but these are the moments you remember and look back on with a smile. As a forum it’s all about making daft memories

That's true!

The next week will be awesome!

So is this where it starts to go tits up?

Surely it does. No way do City rock up and sign the best player in world without a single hiccup.

I'm not cracking open a single bottle until the landing gear touches down at Manchester airport.

I can never sleep on a plane, if he's like me the meeting will be tomorrow.

Nor can I; I'm noise monitor!

What about the rest of the plane?

Or alternatively, sitting on this forum waiting for news is like being sent home from the hospital after 2 nights with no sleep, being told "it's not going to happen tonight", going to be and waking up to be told it's all over and you missed it. (Almost speaking from experience here, 70mph through the streets of stockport at 4am to arrive just in time, phone ringing for 20 minutes by my head apparently)
