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

[razman]

Possibly messi has decided to take the nuclear option of publicly demanding to leave and testing's barto's resolve?

I like ur optimism

 

[razman]

I have to say I think it's over. If Messi was leaving then his dad would have spoken with the journalists or released a statement. If Messi is going to the trouble of speaking himself, it's to do a U-turn IMO.

Ya unfortunately, let's see
Anyway I can go back to spamming the koulibaly thread in that case

Exactly the opposite, if messi were going to leave why would he just let his dad do the speaking for him? But who knows.

If they‘re meeting at Maria D’s and order sándwich de papas fritas con una lata de Vimto, then I think the deal is still on.

Chip butty and glass of Vimto... classy.

I hope Sky do an interview with Gary Cook after Messi bottles it.

What do City expect him to be saying then, mate?

Be like water

Because he's already left?

"Barca I'd just like to say DO ONE!

I helped Leo write his speech cannot say to much but it starts with ''Its a chip barm not a chip muffin''

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Bartomeu needs to take a leaf out of Khaldoon's playbook, but up the ante. Instead of naming a training pitch after Leo, he needs to rename the training ground La Messia.

 

[roy.or.r]

I still think Messi would come. Just that we have to pay Barca a fee for him which they would probably accept.

Good start. Let’s hope the rest is up to snuff too ;)

I get slagged off by my mates for doing this all the time. I put £20 on last night too

I did it for the Lyon game, kinda lessened the blow

 

[Neville Kneville]

Not long to wait, Kaveh on Sky at 5pm he'll know.

Yep he knows it all our Kaveh! Think he's on the verge of finding the vaccine for Covid too.

 

[Jonesyy91]

My gut says this is over, no smoke without fire and all that! I hope we don’t entertain the idea next year.

 

[cookster]

More u-turns than a Tory government.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

You must know there's loads who do that!

I see someone is reporting Messi is going to speak in the next few hours. I'd be very surprised if he were speaking outside of Barca TV to announce he's staying at Barca. Just my opinion of course, and if he does speak then that is exactly what City expected to happen next from what I've been told.

"Be like water ... "

Hopefully it will be the prerecorded interview @tolmie's hairdoo referred to. My only concern is that there still seems to be a naivety at City, apparently taking players or representatives at their word and end up embarrassed.

We had it last year with Jorginho and previously with Dani Alves. If Messi decides to stay after all, despite our protestations to the contrary, it would look like we’ve been played again.
