I’d like to think we would have handled it with more decorum. The way we treated Zab, Vinny and Merlin was exemplary. However, those guys were greatly diminished assets in comparison with Messi. I believe 700 mill is an opening position in the hope of achieving a much lower, but still substantial, figure from a European rival with deep pockets.
I’m not applauding Barça, Morally, end of May meant “end of season“. But in a dog eat dog world, it’s easy to see where they are coming from.
Yeah I can absolutely see where they coming from, they are screwing Messi for every cent, they could have spoken to him & he might have agreed along with City, to give Barca & token fee plus a player ot two.
Instead they are determined to rinse us for everything they can get & are basically just telling him to fuck off.
