Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[MillsyTheMosher]

Oh well another season of Mahrez and Jesus

Another season of two excellent players... How will we manage !?

 

[himalayan_blues]

Poor messi he has to waste 1 more year in a mediocre barca team. He has already stayed 2/3 years more than required.

 

[BlueCityfan]

Not for me.

This season or never.

I'm leaning this way as well. This transfer window there aren't any really good forward options.

Next season? There might be better options in the market.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Also if he does stay I’m really disappointed that Messi let’s himself be treated like a slave and takes it like a bitch!

It would be a terrible decision imo.

He won't have a worthy team to play in.

 

[razman]

Why?

34 years old, on heavy wages unless he takes a huge pay cut and still won't be worth. His commercial appeal will decrease coz barca won't win shit this year

 

[Roy Munson]

Bluemoon at its finest. Tolmie says he's signing "Woo-hoo, tattoo is done". His dad says he's possibly staying put "Fuck him. Never wanted him anyway, the little tax dodging ****". Obviously, I'm paraphrasing.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Why?

1 year older, less monitory impact and impact on the pitch for City the later in his career he joins, we need another clinical finisher apart from Aguero right now etc

 

[decmancity]

Might be just wishful thinking but surely his dad could just say nothing. He didn't need to speak to the reporter when he got out of the cab yesterday and didn't need to speak today. Feels like he knows what hes doing.

 

[himalayan_blues]

There is always a point having MESSI in your team even at 40 years old. He can be a good ambassador of the club. Well price/salary will be different at that age.

 

[BluechesterCity]

Well, if true, and right now its still a big if, then at 34 in a years time it will be too late, in my opinion.

 

[twosips]

What happened to the video we were told he’d filmed?

Yeah, this. Feels like it never happened tbh

 

[cheekybids]

It’s just like the Delph transfer, who’s watching the hospital

You sound surprised

Messi, not MESSI. Messi. Same as it's Pep not PEP, City not CITY. It's not an acronym.

 

[Phil1]

Looks like Pep flying over to beg Messi to stay has worked.

Well hope is a very good thing may be the best of things.

 

[MCFC1993]

I'll still wait until something more concrete comes out.

This could easily be the Messi camp calling Bartomeu's bluff; threatening to stay and leave for free.

Well done, being the 1st 8-)

 

[jimharri]

Why?

Because he'll be 34. Let's be honest; if it wasn't Messi, there'd be a LOT of scepticism on here about buying a 33 year old. Another year older, he'll find it harder to get over routine injuries. And the PL is a lot more physical than La Liga. I wouldn't be keen on getting him next summer.

 

[Great Kompany]

If this is really the case of him staying then this is a clear fucking win for Bartemau. This was not a common tantrum but a long thought decision of not attending the training and not going for the Covid test. Also according to TH, his team were the one that contacted City.
The fans may be happy( and that's fair) but Messi won't be looked good coming out of this if he has backtracked. After so much drama Bartemau is going to stay and he did make Messi stay as well.
It is a bit of a loss to City as well because though there is no credible news from our side about our interest, We were in for him and made all the efforts to create a future plan for him with City and other CFG clubs.
