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

People just need to chill.

Messi and his dad are pushing this as far as they possibly can and the City exec are right with them. They are not trying to leg us over in any way.

So this is going to run and run?

I was thinking, if Jorge/messi IF they are behind these recent "change of heart" leaks, if it could all be a ploy to see how bart feels about losing £100mil (or any money for that matter) whilst also paying Messi full whack on wages? Test the waters to see if he can hold his stance.

But then, all the leaks and spin seem to be from barca friendly sources, maybe they're trying to force our hands?

It's a god damn rollercoaster ride and this place is reactionary (to put it nicely) !

I understand that but whatever info is getting across to the bookies is rather concerning.

There's no info. Its just people betting on him staying at barca.

Betting will be influenced more by what people read in the papers/twitter/sky sports news than Bluemoon, hence the swing against him joining. A red was laughing at me this morning due to the 90% tweet...I suppose it’s who u believe. I prefer to believe Tolmie on here but if he gets it wrong it isn’t the end of the world.

unfortunately though it seems we will fail as it sounds his clause isnt clear about being able to leave?

Barely moved all week, that’s with different info and people betting I imagine. Now after an actual meeting and the odds drift massively, that would suggest some information...

it suggests people have lumped money on him staying after the leaks this morning so the markets react, all that would be needed is a few people to put bets on him to come to city and it would change again

 

[vasan]

Conversation went:
Is it possible that he may stay for one more year at Barca?
Response - anything is possible currently.
Cue headline

estais estudiando la posibilidad de messi y se vaya el ano que viene libre? si

Bookies do get info. They don't just put odds up in any old order!!!

No it just means that there's been a glut of money being placed on Messi to stay and the odds are moving to reflect that.
