Many more twists and turns as ever in the Manchester City transfer window :)

The biggest La Liga attractions after Messi leaves would be an overweight Hazard and an injured Dembélé. It’s no wonder Tebas is worried.

Fukin Ostrich springs to mind

I love it, it's like me ignoring the letters from the bank telling me to pay up!
It's actually incredible

so the release clause stands, so it's not happening then.

You throw the cards in too early

Taking social distancing a bit far

Fingers in there ears.
So what happens training starts no Messi’s season starts Barcelona first game no Messi, Barcelona do nowt don’t say owt or fine Messi.

In that scenario what does Messi do!

@tolmie's hairdoo Regarding Koulibaly, City hasn't made a formal offer yet, according to several sources. Do you happen to know anything about an 'informal' bid? How much is the club willing to pay for him?

I don't.

According to 93:20 pod he’s owed a £75m loyalty bonus next summer. That maybe where the full figure is from? Not sure though tbh.

This is not 100% definitely true.

When Messi's contract was leaked by der spiegel and mediapart in France, they didn't explicitly state if he gets €70m as a lump sum at the end, or if it's paid out pro-rata, which is more common.

So they've possibly paid him €35m of that 70 already with another €17.5 due around about now for the 19/20 season, and another €17.5 at the end of the deal.

By the way, if those two news organisations felt like leaking the other part of his contract, like the exit clause, we could all be a lot more informed...

Stick their fingers in their ears and go la la la

Maybe it will all go away.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I think that will be implied, rather than said!

You might be surprised to note that nobody ever requests my assistance with the drafting of a formal letter
