I think he won't be on a plane to Manchester (or Paris or Milan..) in the next 10 days.

Have there been any signs that Barca are ready to negotiate with some club or to let Messi go as a free agent? No.

Yes there have been plenty. Chief among them is that Bartomeu said he would only meet Jorge Messi to discuss a new contract. Today they're meeting and it's pretty obvious they're not discussing a new contract.
 
Exactly this. I've said all along. It ain't going to happen. We all deep down know it. From the day we got taken over we've been used as a massive bargaining tool. It's just been stept up a level.

I've thought that myself but surely Khaldoon would see through that and distance us from the whole circus.
 
Hope Leo doesn't sign today and fly to Manchester tonight as its pissing down currently. The forecast is drier on Friday and noticeably picks up next week. Just saying.

I think the transfer is quite probable, just not this or next week. Hope I'm wrong about the timing.

A Gulfstream private jet landed in Manchester at lunchtime. Call sign GLF4. Seems it originated in St Petersburg. Has Messi been on a Baltic cruise or something?

Oh I agree on the timing tbf, reckon they'll drag it out. I just think there's been small signs that show they are open to negotiate but don't want to be seen as too eager. It seems like a bit of a dance, which makes sense given all the politics at Barcelona.

Yeah, I can't see it being concluded any time soon. I'm going to say atleast another 3 weeks. Season will have started by the time we are reaching a near conclusion to a deal, just because of the politics surrounding it.
 
If for whatever reason he doesn't sign for us this window I would be crippingly disappointed if the club didn't immediately put out a statement that we will not be involved in any future negotiations for his signature.

Fool me once, shame on me.

Fool me almost every summer for a decade and you can fuck right off.
