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

If messi is on a free do people really believe we will offer a player or some money so we don't piss off Barcelona, fuck em, them and the rest of the greedy fuckers tried to exterminate city

Thing is with his release clause it’s bit of a grey area with coronavirus and if we he went for nowt then they go to court are City willing to gamble that if you lose a court case we would have to pay the release clause or even half of it it be a disaster! So better to do some sort of deal if Messi really wants to leave and come to City.

I think all other potential transfers are on hold until we see if we can get Messi or not. I think that is the real reason it's gone a bit quiet.

Despite being informed otherwise several times that funding would be from a seoerate pot

our other transfer business is NOT based around this at all.....this has been said numerous times not by numerous posters

The Athletic do a lot of co-authored pieces. Sam Lee and Ornstein have done an article but Lee has just said City maintain their official stance of nothing's happening.

Sam seems to be the only journalist in the world who when he’s told “nothing doing” actually believes it!

Might be of a case of getting this done first so when we are talking to potential players we can say “Want to come to City and play with Messi”
Even I’m smiling at that thought.

He tends to report that they said it and then mention that's what you'd expect them to say even if they were working on it.

What have I missed overnight? Has someone invented a time machine and we are signing Pele?

Never underestimate the greed of the modern player

I agree - you see multi millionaires hawking themselves to all sorts of shitholes for one last pay day... anyone would think they needed the money.

Plus they have family/agents who stand to gain, too.
