Honestly i think this is how its going to play out this transfer
1,Messi says he wants to leave
2,Messi says he wants to play for Man city
3,Barca board furious smear campaign begins
4,Bartomeu says he will resign so messi stays
5,Bartomeu says messi cant leave making bartomeu seem not weak in a power struggle with messi
6,Messi dosent turn up for tests making him look like the villain
7,Bartomeu says messi didnt turn up spins it in the only way he can to the press, thinking Barca fans will turn on Messi
8,Bartomeu gives in to Messi's demands, spinning the story in a way saying he did eveything to keep Messi at the club
9,Bartomeu dosent leave messi leave for free, demands a fee from city makes bartomeu still feel he has all the cards
10, City agree fee with Barca for Messi , Bartomeu comes out smelling like roses saying we did all we could but atlest we got money and players in return.
11 Messi signs for city , week later spanish press attack messi full force turning him into the next Figo
12 Bartomeu in his head wins as hes made messi look like the villain through it all.
