I genuinely think Gundogan would be a good option for them. He would be excellent in a double pivot in a more midfield dominated, less end-to-end league like Italy or Spain.

We have proposed a very innovative way of paying him through the CFG. FFP can't touch it, seemingly.
As a result, Messi will be paid very much in line with the rises the club also have in the pipe for Raz and Kev, so about £375k a week plus other bonuses.
Guardiola is now driving this bus. I'm so fucking happy, even sounds like Barca can get fucked on anything substantial in terms of cash.
Garcia, Gundo, Stones, Otamendi, Cancelo, Zinchenko and Angelino, they can have their pick, but we will not be sending any tier one their way.
If they took Cancelo or Stones how would that affect our transfers ? Whilst I do not think we would miss the other players mentioned and I do not think we would miss Cancelo or Stones much I would have some reservations because I think both will improve and also because I think we would need an extra right CB or RB and possibly LB. Assuming we would carry on trying to shift the above players which is probably what most on here want. Dont know if the board would agree. I think if you polled people on here they would rather loose Otamendi than stones and Zincheko and Angelino than Cancelo. Think he has played better at left back for us than both and I would guess most do not want to go into the season with that young lad a cover for walker. Could we afford to off load these players in a swap to get Messi only to have to spend again to replace them i doubt it

It does yeah. We can’t sign him without agreeing with Barca. I don’t believe for one minute we’ll get him for free. So yeah, it does matter. It’s crucial.Does it matter

We were never paying 700mAre we still talking about paying a huge fee of 700m? The clause in his contract should give Messi the right to leave for free. Or is it not valid?
Or are these news only about Messis wages?
I really hope they don’t touch Cancelo. We need him.
So if we are saving there.... I assume we will giving barca a decent feeThe word is could be getting a piece (call it a share option) which can be cashed later (when he's probably doubled its value!!)
Two per cent is worth about £180m? Entirely legal, like many offers to employees from top companies. Doesn't touch FFP and means we can keep the squad wage bill down.
Some reports have stated CFG will pay his wages but that is incorrect, as that would be third-party ownership.

He would have the same problems that he currently has with us, and La Liga is just as physical as the Premier League. They need younger fresher players

Is it just me who thinks TH has got hold of some top class Es judging by his recent music choices? To go from London Boys to Helicopter, Sweet Harmony and Insanity is quite the leap...

I can see Messi and Kun having a slice of any South American Argentinian based CFG side in the future.
