Paros, for Christ sake, it’s just Blackpool with more museums and less kiss me quick hats. Manchester lad is the place to be
I refuse to believe you “watched” those games. In what world can you watch Messi at Anfield or Paris and say he struggled..? The basic reality of the last 5 seasons of Barca football is if Messi isn’t lights out, the team crumbles. Would never be the case here. Playing for city would be the first time in a long while where Messi could have a bad game and not lose 5-0.I watched him in the CL in the big games and he struggled. He adorns games where Barcelona are dominant. He is the GOAT but not now. Nowhere near. I doubt any of the top English sides will go for him.
Utterly disrespectful to a legend of the game.

I think Messi is one of those players that defies age. A bit like Pirlo who was still lethal in his late 30s

So surely the logic of Aguero staying says he should be staying at Barca?He will be joining PSG because they have a bunch of his mates already on the team and an Argentinian coach.
Our only chance of signing him was if Aguero stayed.
Trouble with this line is the way PSG pissed off messi with the public comments last summer, if Messi is going somewhere don’t expect the press to know too much about it until the deal is done (I have my own suspicions that this might already be the case).
PAG lost a lot of ground with the circus they created last summer around this.
Having said that I wouldn’t be surprised by plots twists galore in the Messi/Barca story.

One of my favourite players of all time. The guy just oozed class and technique.
Sensational player Pirlo was. I’m convinced he could’ve played until he was 50 had he wanted to.
I love a player that doesn’t have to rely on just being fast, because they’re just so bloody good with a football.
David Silva was the same obvs. He’s going to play at a high high level basically until he decides he’s had enough. You’re just born with that skill, you can’t teach it.

I've heard that narrative many times before. Either way I'm not interested. I would think the club has a lot more sense now after all the false starts we've suffered. No need to pine for something that was never meant to be. The club certainly does not need him in our squad outside of promos and prime material for gloating against rivals. His still a great player but we have a squad of players more than capable of creating their own magic.He's really leaving this time!
not my fault!

I’d guess Pep has him on speed dial too, I dont think he’ll come here but to think we won’t even drop a call to ask is daft.I find it so hard to believe we wouldn’t even give him a decision to make and let PSG have a clear run at him. We must be very stubborn (last Summer and 2016) if we do!

Not buying any report about Messi being in contact with any team. This literally happened 3 hours ago. He could still end up in Barcelona. Any reporter chatting about Messi and contacts is pure speculation. It’s way too soon, especially for a man who makes decisions at a snails pace.

All this stuff about us ruling ourselves out, there any truth in that?
What's the latest?

Oh I agree. But for the moment it feels like this is still Pep’s call. He has to change direction.
correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t Pep always said he wants Messi to stay at Barca but if that is no longer an option he may give the green light.
It’s also worth noting that a deal for Kane over 5 years would probably be worth in the region of £300 million. Messi would make us a lot more money than Kane would so I’d imagine Messi would make sense if levy is being a **** as rumoured earlier.

Totally agree about any deal, the situation with Barcelona won't have been a surprise to Messi, he will know exactly where he's heading.Trouble with this line is the way PSG pissed off messi with the public comments last summer, if Messi is going somewhere don’t expect the press to know too much about it until the deal is done (I have my own suspicions that this might already be the case).
