Bar Messi, we also need to strengthen our defence. I agree with the lad/lass above.

and who says we are not

As much as I'd quite like to see Messi at City from a PR oint of view (as would the Premier League), I can't help the feeling that I'll be crushed if we do sign him but no centre-half and left-back (and perhaps midfielder).

Have a lie down - it will get done

Technically we’ve already improved the defence as we’ve lost no one but added Ake...

Fuck that... just go out to win every game 10-9!!

Obviously but do you really think that Khaldoon, Txiki and the rest are just gonna sit there and think we're done if we get Messi?

“It’s Quiet” v “Messi Mambo” is the Beatles v Stones, Blur v Oasis of our times

Is it imminent yet?

Really none of this involves us. If FIFA decides Messi is a free agent - great. If he's not, it's still up to Barca to agree to enter into negotiations for his sale. If they don't agree, they have to deal with the fallout within the club. If they do, they might still be impossible to do business with, like Napoli, only worse.

The main lesson for me in all this is quite how badly Barca have handled all this. There is no good outcome for them from this - if I were a Barca fan I would have my head in my hands.

This seems so blindingly obvious that you'd think Messi's camp knows whether they're in the right or not here? It's quite cut and dry. Date - Barca win. No date - Messi wins. Surely any lawyer advising him would know this too, so why would he have gone so strong if he wasn't certain?

The problem either way would be all the fucking about if it has to go to court.

If FIFA can step in, then all good.

(Never thought I'd ever be saying that)
