It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

These 2 cunts reliable?

If they are, that's only slightly more than the scum paid for HMP Maguire.

No. Not in the slightest

Why would Barca or City be briefing 2 tossers from the Torygraph?

 

[mccity]

Good strong words

It'd be better if Jorge Messi posted a YouTube video, they work great on here.

Is Gabriel the key for this, Barca pushing hard. As Cheesy posted Jesus, Garcia & £70 million

Not a fucking chance

No fcukin way.

Right now it all depends how urgently we want Messi.
If we are keen to get on with it it’s time for us to make an offer.
I would have thought a player plus cash to total value £100 million will secure his services without having to go down the road of a protracted court litigation.
If Bartomeu has any sense (!) he will jump at this.

There aren’t. This is Tolmie’s annual thread which began back in July about our entire business in the summer window. He posts all his stuff in here. The other is a Messi specific thread

The other is a Messi specific thread, with added fish.

Why not throw in KDB and Laporte just to make sure.

And @BillyShears - him and Tolmie have carved up the territory like mob bosses

Scott Carson in addition and they'll do business apparently.

 

[Sir peace frog]

Solved it. Messi wears number 10 so if you take every tenth letter it spells "A deal has been done".

adahitkdk ? your a whizz with numbers , but a bit shit with letters :)

Good shout mate. Phononemial deal then for a free player :)

 

[LongsightM13]

Remember I told you...

I’d expect the nonsense coming out of Barca to get ever more batshit and hysterical over the next 24/48 hours. Plus the predictable and inevitable united/PSG ‘hijack’ stories

It get rid of some of the deadwood

Brilliant day for city hes been offered a new 2 yr contract which was replied to with "my son won't play for you again" time to just sit back and wait for it to happen the quicker the better now for both parties.

You expect us to remember your comments?

I am no clearer to how this ends. I thought Messi might be able to bounce barca into quickly backing down but that hasn't happened. Messi could mull it over and submit a free transfer. Perhaps at that point Barca back down.

I can't see that their position is practical. Messi does not look like he will play for them next season, and if they leave it like that he could agree a free transfer in January.

He only has to hold his nerve I think, but I am impatient. If his legal position is really strong he could buy his contract out. If I were him I'd put those wheels in motion and see what effect that has on barca. Faced with an imminent departure on a free they might move.

No fcukin way.

It's his last year, so Messi can buy himself out. As far as I'm aware, it's based on a formula derived from annual football earnings or something of that ilk. Failure to agree means that a court gets to set the fee, but that wouldn't be anywhere near £100M.
Messi, City & Barca will all be wise to this so I expect the fee to be £75M or less inc. any players. I suppose that the headline figure could be higher if a player going to them is over-valued so that Barca can save face.
