Firmly believed he will sign a pre-contract agreement with us in January and today’s pep news only strengthens that view, it’s just perfectly aligned. The only question is when we announce it. We won’t want to rock the boat and have any distraction whilst the season continues but we will want to capitalise on the Messi mania pulling power both in terms of signings and marketing. Messi isn’t going to want 5 months of being attacked in the media and criticised constantly either if he announces his departure early. I suspect the deal will be done and kept quiet for as long as possible.
