If we have to lose one of Jesus or BSilva to fund Messi I'd sooner keep Jesus. Love Silva for his ability to wind up Liverpool but Jesus had the better season for me. I'd buy Mahrez a plane ticket myself

It would have to be Mahrez for me too, in fairness, in the way he attacks he is similar to Messi, and would suit the way they set up.

Is it possible Messi could leave on loan? Given his gripe isn't with Barcelona, rather it's current leadership. Then go back next year when his pals are in charge.

LOL, go back with Pep, Tikix and Ferran?

That would be taking the p$$

We were never actually linked with Kane. That was BM speculation about who a big target might be

there were murmurings int he press about kane - nothing more than that - TH definitely alluded to Kane to city however so you would have to ask him

I will wager we will lose one of Bernardo or Jesus (in addition to Garcia and Angelino) if Messi says he wants to leave with immediate effect.

There is a PR selling job to be done to the Barca membership and there has to be a justification based on finances and moving the club forward.

It wouldn't be a problem City picking up the 12 months he would still be owed in wages, which might also be a big consideration for Barcelona's finance department.

Not long to find out now.

More likely to be Aguero than Jesus, I’d have thought, given they rarely gel at international level and Jesus would be far more athletic within the team dynamic. Aguero might be a slightly easier sell to the Barca fans as well.

If Pep stars the season badly, decent chance he will lose it & leave.

Messi has never reallly linked up with Aguero. Aguero in fact has sonetimes looked better when Messi doesn't play. It shouldn't need a coach. And Pep does not really coach the forwards how to link up anyhow, he coaches how to get them into that area.

Unlikely the team can have two players in totally free roles, so KDB most likely has to change the way he plays, to accomodate Messi. He might not like it.

If we could give them both free roles, then possible Pep will balance it, by using both Gundogan & Rodri.

All of these things might be no problem, but it's not such a simple thing, to assume City can just continue as planned, as a team, with Messi.

I imagine Messi would play more or less as a striker.

Even more reason to sign more 'legs' for the midfield, if he is coming, imo.

Maybe it would re light Aguero & give him the option of another 12 months if he plays well

Imo going with Jesus & Sergio doesn't light my fire

Aguero & Messi could be what our owner is after??

When I turned 13, my folks allowed me for the first time to get the 77 bus down Lloyd Street South into Town and eat at the Wimpy in Piccadilly Gardens (Where Burger King is now)

My lad turns 13 in a couple of weeks and I wouldn't let him within eight miles of our city-centre without me or his mum holding his hand tightly enough.

Over-protective? - maybe

Blind, I am certainly not!

I've told both my kids to work hard as fuck at school, chase their dreams, go see the world on their terms. I will kick both their arses if they end up in Manchester.

Who said anything about Pep, Txiki and Ferran?

So Messi is going to come on loan for 12 months, you gotta be kidding me!

I said about the 3 amigos, the state Barca are in, I could see Pep and Tixki going back there when there contracts are finished to sort out the mess.

Ferran not sure, the CFG is his baby, so could see him stay here for the long term.

That Wimpy was like a war zone, you had some balls to go in there!

Whenever I get excited about this I just wonder if a 33 year old who doesnt speak English well as far as i know, would uproot his wife and 3 young kids for 3 years to come to Cheshire.

I think they might be the biggest hurdle.

I think this is why he will stay put.
