Nah it’s fun

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Nah it’s fun

It’s fun if you’re watching from afar and it’s on a rag forum. Club chasing a 34 year old, funding it with a secret fund just to get him there.
That shouldn’t and isn’t what we are about. A 24 year old messi, yes. But not now.

FFS TXIKI WE DON'T NEED THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD ANYMORE

Meh if we were really shite and it was some last ditch attempt to regain relevancy then maybe it’d be bad. But we have a strong enough squad to supplement him and also he is still fucking great at kickball

I’d much rather throw a good few million at Juve for Ronaldo. He can play for another 4 or 5 years, the man is a freak of nature. And he has proven hisself in England already (and Spain. And Portugal. And Italy. And on the International scene).

Messi has proven hisself in Spain. And that’s about it.

The Ronaldo that proved himself in the Premier League is not the same one as now. He’s also ex united and unlikely to join anyway

No, he’s what Robinho was. Someone to promote us. We are way past that.
Manchester City do not need Messi. Ten years ago yes. Not now.
Do you know who do need him? A club in Trafford. To make them relevant again. Signing a 34 year old.

We could still use his profile and notoriety to improve the clubs brand worldwide

Not where we are at. Again, smacks of desperation.

Jeez. A year fresher.

I can't help but chuckle that some people bring up his age in every retort. You numpties were out in full force last summer and look at the numbers he put up. Just stop.

I certainly won’t stop. He is not what our model is. We aren’t buying a player. We are buying a brand. A name. That isn’t us

Not really

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Not really

I’m the premier league he improves us how?

No he’s far superior to that one, the guy is a beast, but ex rag will not come here anyway.

Fine so considering we won the league we shall sign no one because technically they won’t improve us?
