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

[blue oli]

I might as well try to elaborate a little further (just out of courtesy for my own excitement on Saturday) and say this info is coming out of Abu Dhabi and not from the Etihad (no fucker is back working there anyhow)

His father and reps have made direct contact very recently. Allegedly, they had waiting until Barca exited the Champions League (which suggests a particular mindset was already a while in place?)

Positions are being leveraged all the time, but there is something very different about this Messi chatter - we haven't been doing the chasing and I think Txiki and Pep had completely resigned themselves to him not ever leaving Barcelona.

Something big is seemingly happening behind the scenes. There are people working within the CFG genuinely excited about something big coming down the pike.

Messi would be a separate entity to our current transfer business, as the club briefed the press pack very recently that a report from the Athletic that we had £300m to spend was wide of the mark.

Yeah,

I can see it already - CFG and a very creative way of funding Messi that sees him play for city, then NYC then take a controlling stake in an Argentinian club that’s part of CFG in the near future, messi football schools everywhere and a branding agreement with CFG not Manchester City that bridges the income gap for messi short and long term.

UEFA and FIFA trying very hard to find a way of stopping it, is sailing close to the wind but getting away with it as it’s ‘legally acceptable’.

That’s how I would do it anyway........

✍It's Almost time

✍The real project starts now

Is this you relaying some itk info you know or are you piggybacking tolm?

I will only get excited when I see Messi at the Etihad, but thanks for the detailed update.

Quick - to the bluemoonismns thread !!

It's still okay to be excited, bud. It's a bit like Scarlett Johansson and Amy Adams telling me I'm on for a three-way at the end of the evening.

They might well think better of it, but it would be remiss of me not to imagine the infinite possibilities.

Especially so, when you haven't tried to chat them up in the first place!

Ha ha love it, class. :)

 

[xgorton]

The real project?...

Eden ?

 

[Marvin]

I hope we don't forget that football-wise the most important signing is a central defender.

 

[Ezzy]

you reckon 2 signing this week?

6 new signings

The real project?...

your an itk, you cant jump on the back of TH post , that looks a bit desperate

As I said on June 30th:

This will be the last transfer window that we buy players directly for the Man City first team in.
The same for foreign academy players for obvious reasons.

Unless in the case of an emergency or in exceptional situations, from now on our squad will only be strengthened by the academy or CFG teams.

From this summer onwards the transfer window will be mostly focused on strengthening the CFG teams.

Yeah - I guess Messi is pissed off at the moment butt here is always a chance he could calm down and decide that he is being a bit rash by wanting out. Heat of the moment type of stuff.
