It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[@BluePhil8]

Only City fans can be conditioned in such a way that;

Messi meeting with his agent and lawyer for 3 hours before issuing a statement in which he categorically states La Liga are wrong regarding his contract, providing the exact wording used and telling them to keep out of his business can be overshadowed by some random no mark whispers originating with TyC, Barto’s mouthpiece.

It’s like we all have Stockholm syndrome and hang on the presses every word as soon as it’s not in City’s favour.

The statement is everything you need to know.

Who said he's staying?

Sky sports news have just said it is just speculation at this time but a source close to the family have said he's recording a video this afternoon to confirm he is staying at Barcelona.

I'd hope not after everything he promised so far he has delivered!! Putting it in writing twice and missing training all week, unless they can blackmail him because they know something dodgy with his tax again, ha!

Sky now reporting he has decided to stay and is currently filming an interview

Anymore cryptic texts I should be looking at? Missed the last few minutes. And anymore things likely to happen today?

I’m having king prawn puri followed by chicken tikka biryani and madras sauce for tea, make of that what you will

 

[LongsightM13]

Sky’s reporter is simply parroting the TyC Sports crew who are literally standing right next to him and who have proved thoroughly unreliable throughout this saga

Could be part of the bluff he is playing with BFC. IE accept a small fee now and let me go. or have me stay when i clearly want to leave still pay my wages and get nothing in 9mths time. Does seem odd to release that statement about his contract. At 34 he is unlikley to be as good as he is now. i think as a club in our position we might not feel the need to have him then. but who knows.

Only if there is no 700m release clause. Laliga seem pretty sure it stands so you have to be careful. I’d love to see that contract ...

Messi’s camp said ‘I have no idea which contract you have seen but here’s the exact wording’

La Liga can suck a fat one, they operate in dangerous waters. They are an administrator who believe they are a gatekeeper. They rejected Neymar’s buyout clause, absolute cowboys.

Ooooooo who to believe? It's a tough one ;)

have we? As far as reports are we are still negotiating. No one from City has actually stated we are after Messi or been involved in any speculation.

That's what I was inferring.

Funny as fuck when he releases a video saying he's staying now.

Err...
