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

[BlueBrain]

I've no issue with paying a fee but I'm of the opinion this is now over.

Bartomeo will go, Messi will dictate who gets what jobs and he will see his career out at a club he loves, is adored at and in a City he and his family love.

Happy to be proven wrong.

This is the most likely outcome

Shaken the world? It looks and feels like Messi has played us a bit and ultimately rejected us

Why

We haven’t stated we wanted him

He stated he wanted to move

People close to him stated he wanted City

Truth is media world wide was talking about city

 

[urban genie]

If his wife and kids loved him and respected all he’s done for them, they’d support his wish to move for a few years.
We’ve been hoodwinked. Pep and the Spafia have been totally done over here and it’s distracted us from signing those quality players Chelsea have bought up.
For me this ends the final point of the Spafia being here, there is no Barcelona left that we’d want here now. Move them on, change direction. Right now it also feels like Pep can go. Does Messi respect Pep so much that he calls him personally and begs to join, but all along it’s just a game? Fuck you Lionel.
This season is going to be very flat. we’re weaker with Dave and Leroy leaving & we haven’t bought anyone to inspire the squad to push on to more.

I know I felt the same when we missed out on Andy Townsend.

Firmly put me in the swales out camp

I am just not sure IF he will worth having even on a free next year...at 34 especially on those crazy wages

Will get a fair idea how he performs this season for them

If the team does well then why will he try to move? If coutinho, ansu fati, griezmann,dejong, pjanik, dembele, (?) wijnaldum are used properly and with dead woods like suarez, rakitic, vidal going, squad will be younger.
If managed properly they can do good. if there is improvement than why will messi leave?
I serously doubt there will be improvent though.

 

[Keeper!]

Perhaps Pep just went back to his home town to see friends and family, but journalists decided to write that it must be to get Messi?

Possibly, is his wife and kids still living in Barcelona? Not sure if they ever came back to Manchester.

 

[richards30]

The only sense of this, is that it isn’t over.
we hoped he’d come for free but now we pay a fee.

i agree! we asked leo to try and do his bit but there is no way city will leave it after this imo. Soriano and kaldhoon will be on the blower doing the whole get money now and his wages off your already huge debts otherwise we WILL agree it in january and you WILL lose a fortune!

LMFAO. what a pile of shite

The last part was true

Why

We haven’t stated we wanted him

He stated he wanted to move

People close to him stated he wanted City

Truth is media world wide was talking about city

Ok we aren't going to agree

We haven't stated we wanted him...true, but the world are talking about him not coming to City now as well

We need to push on with transfers these next 2 week's

 

[Centurions]

LMFAO. what a pile of shite

Christ almighty, another idiot on ignore. He's at best clueless at worst clueless and a troll.

I had serious worries about this deal in terms of Man City, and after that interview, I am certain we don't want him.

Wonderful player, but at 33 coming to the final stages of a glorious career , he should stay with his club, his family should stay in a city they clearly love.

The president will be gone, either unelected or put in jail. Messi is Baca, and always will be.

The problem is he will be wasting one more year at barca. He already has given 2/3 years more than he should have given. He will not win anything next year as well. No chance of winning ballon d or as well. As he said he is not happy footballing wise to stay at barca.

I know you did! And I disagreed with your reservations!
