Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[mccity]

If we moved Rodri, Mendy and Bernardo surely we could afford his wages with something offset in the CFG

Why would we sell Rodri?

 

[Summerbuzz]

This smells of a rat. Day after la liga sign 2.7 billion deal they announce the leagues biggest asset is leaving as la ligas refs on wages mean he can’t sign. Expect nothing other than him staying at Barca after la liga come under pressure from CVC to ensure he stays.

Agreed, so much, it's what I would have said all along. But the wording Barca to put out is clear. If I'm honest, I don't think there's a way back there.

I can see them using this season to transition and restructure. Pedri and others look really impressive. They'd still finish top 3. And the pressure on Tebas would be immense.

City or PSG can pick up Leo. If it's PSG, then there's a question over Mbappe.

Meanwhile, we still have Bernardo and Laporta. And Atletico and Barca might well want to find a way to deal with each other to fuck Real in any way possible. Taking Griezman would free up so much. Allows Barca to sign someone big.

All up in the air. Personally, I want Perez to suffer. I want Tebas to suffer. City's owners and management will want PSG to suffer. I imagine they feel the same way about Tebas and Perez. There are opportunities to maybe play a bit and make that happen.

But really, I want City to succeed more than I want anyone else to suffer. And so should they.

I'm convinced that this is all a game... Trying to get La Liga to do what they want...

 

[Manx Blue]

Didnt Tolmie say no more business after Grealish-Kane?

....but had previously stated Messi would be a stand alone deal

 

[AliBobbyJ]

God this Messi saga crops up every bloody year.

Unless people are on this forum every bloody day ...

I fucking love football

 

[King Jay]

we cant let him go to psg... neymar mbappe messi bruh

The question is would Neymar give up his 10?

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I think behind the scenes Pep has to be asking Messi what he's doing. He could be on a plane tonight and a medical done tomorrow. They already had terms agreed in January

My god.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

I’m all over the shop here

 

[stan bowles]

I thought Tebas was more of a Madrid kind of a ****?

He's a la Liga type of ****. Hates us and PSG and the feeling is mutual.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

It’s Pol Ballus so that’s basically coming straight from Pep.

 

[Ribble73]

Hasn’t some supposed ITK said we have a signing lined up that would blow Kane and Grealish out of the Water??!!

 

[samuelyeboah]

I don't reckon ANYONE, even the best journalists, know right now what's going on, because probably hardly even city/psg's camps know.

 

[jay laruja]

There is no way that we shouldn't be sniffing about. Messi wins you more than just matches. It gives you prominence and recognition. I'd argue that City would be chasing Messi more than they would Kane now.

 

[Blue Coop]

I reckon Kane will be 10

Why would Kane be such a late change today?

 

[BlueTG]

This is more on/off than I was with my ex when suited. Fuck me.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Didn't someone say the Kane deal had slowed down earlier today?

Is this the real reason?

 

[Gumzy97]

currently city xtra missed that bit

 

[wolviedinho]

City will not walk away from Messi. The club spoke openly last season about being able to afford his purchase. Now we may actually have a chance and we told him to fuck off ? I just can’t see it tbh. PSG chat is bull imo.
