Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

Fwiw I don't see him coming sadly.
I doubt we can push the boat out for him and Kane and I doubt our club would leave Kane in the lurch at this stage.
The only way it happens is if Levy holds firm until late in the window and City just walk away with the previous offer on the table for Messi being accepted by the little man.
This would mean Messi gambling that the Kane deal falls through and I can't see him sitting by waiting for that to happen.
It's such a shame though, he should be a City player.

Like others have said can you see Neymar handing over the 10 shirt?

It wasn't vacant.

 

[Lamby]

Guys, the #10 shit means nothing. the footage is from before the whole messi saga even started, they couldn't have even *known* to reserve the shirt back then.

Besides we can't take it off Jack now, not after seeing that video with the 10 shirt we've made his "Yuer"

 

[Cobwebcat]

I just hope we genuinely have a choice and get one.

Great situation for us.

It's just a saying, nothing to be insulted by. Plus it was a general observation and not aimed at you directly.
Then there was the little smile at the end.
Think you've overreacted a touch there, mate.

Not had my sausage and egg butty yet,tetchy before noon,shall we say we will remain mates on good terms?

The 4 year thing is one of a number, those measures include this year that is assessed next summer. So they have changed the rules through to next summer. But are also 'in consultation' on new rules;

Football's financial fair play rules to be ripped up after Covid crisis

Football’s financial fair play rules are to undergo dramatic change with the key break-even measure declared ‘purposeless’ by Uefa

www.theguardian.com

Yea read all that when is was published but the only facts are it’s been extended to fours year and yep it be assessed next year!

Be interesting in what they will change if anything next year…

Imagine not wanting Messi to play for your team for a couple of years.
People are strange.

It’s not that though, is it?

It’s the circus, the finances and the possible effect on others in the squad.

Which, as a top poster, you know full well…. :)

They have to change it or 9 out of 10 clubs fail.

Looks like the la Liga bubble is about to burst, if it hasn't already! With no global superstars left, what will be the attraction?

I can see a period of domination for the Premier league clubs in Europe with the curbs on wages in La Liga. No wonder they want this super league so badly.

 

[leo_city]

Need to see that fucking swine Tebas' face right now. Inject it. Fuck La Liga

What can I say sir baconface, the little man has a strange hold over me... :-)

I don't understand how PSG can break world record after world record signing and end up with Messi, Mbappe, Neymar as a front three and still comply with FFP.

I'm pretty sure Donnarumma and Ramos won't be getting paid in washers either after signing on free transfers added to that wijnaldum and potentially messi and neymar and mbappe wages how can they afford it? I think they won't come to an agreement on wages. Messi may have been prepared to help barca out by taking a big hit on wages but can't see him doing the same for PSG why would he.

I see Messi as an addition to Kane.

The assumption is that Kane will come and someone (likely Bernardo) will leave.

If we went for Messi another would have to leave. I would assume Jesus would be the one to make way and with a £50m-£60m transfer fee that is a nice chunk of Messi's cost.

How has that Fabrizio got any credibility left!?

Via that fucking no nothing clown?

Guillem Balague@GuillemBalague perspective after Laporta press conference

What I don't get is how do you end up with 110% of your revenue being sucked up in wages? How was that allowed to happen, & how did they believe they'd get around it & make the business work? :-|
