Harry Kane

Still can’t believe we picked Kane over Messi.

Pretty obvious Messi had his heart set on PSG. You don’t get a deal sorted for a player like that so quickly. It will have been on the cards for months.

Things have changed on our side as well since last year with close friends like Aguero no longer with us.

messi had his chance to come to city and we tested messi heart strings when he had agreement to leave ?
but barcelona held on and waved the get out clause of £500million. messi would have had to do a harry kane but bottled it. messi did not want to move and still does not want to leave. its all about the money and wages.
seems to me he is a greedy sod

Messi would have had to go to court in a god knows how long court case where there was no guarantee he would win.

It’s a completely different situation to Kane.

barcelona could not have taken it to court because it was in his contract that he could leave for free with a year left. plus Barcelona could not afford to take it to court and would have not gone down that route. believe me messi does not want to leave barcelone never has and its all been about money and wages

Whatever was in his contract(or not as I'm sure it was a gentlemen agreement) got heavily contested due to the fact the end of the season was delayed because of the pandemic. That was why it would have been a court case.
 
Yep, can't just sell a top striker with no replacement. Tried and failed for Vlahovic, no indication whether Lautaro wants a move, Ings went Villa, Isak renewed at a €90m clause. Only option is them trying to convince Jesus being their main man lol. So I agree with that, time's short.

Last minute bid for Dzeko to replace Kane, pocket the difference. Very Spursy.

Actually that was not the case. Messi's lawyers and barca's lawyers interpreted the contract differently. The contract had a date when the season was supposed to end(initially before covid). Due to covid the season was extended so as per barca the cause wasn't valid when messi triggered it . It would have been a long court case
 
He has hardly kicked a ball in anger for 18 months, very sad end to a wonderful career.
he'd have been better packing his bags for south America or NYC pref the later and if he had kept his fitnes we could have loaned him back,prob a last big pay day got the better of him

nope
it was all down to messi he bottled it big time ? barcelona could not afford to take it to court.
because it was in his contract he could leave for free with a year left on it. so not a chance they take it to court knowing they have no chance of winning

after the interview at the weekend its plain and simple messi does not want to leave ? messi tested them again with his demands in this window and this time barcelona said NO
