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

How could he in all conscience ever join us after saying what he did about his family’s brutal drama?

To be fair, I read that as ‘despite the monumental impact on my family, I still wished to leave’.

 

[Don Karleone]

We’ll be interested, we shouldn’t be imo.

 

[pudge]

And the briefing starts

Until next January or summer comes along and at the last minute he fucks off to Paris to earn an absolute mint and mugs us off again

 

[DMA's]

i Don’t see Messi leaving next summer with Xavi all but certainly being the manager at Barcelona but even if he did want to leave for me next season it would move from a footballing transfer to a commercial transfer.

 

[Sir peace frog]

It was always going to court given the contract was not clear cut and Bartomeu being the guy he is. So 99% done my arse.

do you need a cuddle ?

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Still think we’d be interested, although the five year contract being touted (three with us, two at NYC) seems unlikely. He’d be 39 by the end of it.

39 seems prime age for our city walking team (if that's still a thing)

 

[domalino]

I expect the club will always be interested, him being Messi and all.
But time heals wounds, no matter how deep they look. I really think he'll stay at Barca after next season with a new board.

The problem is so much deeper than the board. The problem is the squad and manager and they don't have any money to fix it.

 

[bluesince76]

Did you see Barca, with Messi, v Bayern Munich ?

How is it working out for them ?

Did they look like a happy team, to you ?

Ah, the CL quarter final they lost? He definitely should come to us then if he doesn't want that to happen...

Seem to recall us losing 8-1 just before a manager was sacked and then would have looked a lot better the following season even if the money hadn't landed. Or how about losing to Wigan in a cup final before winning the league the next season. But apparently Barca can't do that with the world's best player.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Nah not now move on to much hassle and bad endings.

 

[RayCTID]

We’ll be interested, we shouldn’t be imo.

Not in 12 months time.
