It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[tolmie's hairdoo]

@tolmie's hairdoo what do you think is the next step? Who / what we waiting for?. Could this rumble on and on. Dont think i could take weeks of this without actually doing some work.

I think it could all be sorted by the middle of next week, should Messi not back down.

He's got Sunday tests and Monday training but a lot will happen before then.

 

[Neville Kneville]

A lot will ride on this supposed statement he is meant to be making.

I hope he's pissed out of his head.

"Yrrall a bunch of bastards n you lot are all a bunch of cunts"

"How dare you say that Messi, I'm not a bastard!"

"Well get over there, with the cunts"

Messi’s wife, and King Kun’s girlfriend are now following each other on Instagram, (whatever that is), so they’ve got their house in order now.

 

[Manc in London]

Not to stray too far off topic, but I am assuming neither of you have ever heard of a fella named Joe Montana? @Captain Apollo

Even Montana's understudy was better than Rodgers.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Bloody ell, even Stephen Warnob on Scouse sports is waxing lyrical about Messi joining us!

Poor man's Dan Marino ;)

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

So effectively he’d join ADUG for 5 years (3 with City then with an option to go to the MLS for the final 2 years?).

Yes.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

If we are to get Messi and Koulibaly does it end there? Rumours of anyone else have dried up and I'm not seeing many things about outgoings.

 

[Sir peace frog]

mods can we ban this plonka, he's spoiling the TH transfer frenzy

Let’s not forget, that even if this piece of business goes through the smoothest close out possible it’s just so large that we are going to see a real roller coaster of claims and counter claims in the press and on twitter etc.

Buckle up, enjoy the ride with a smile and wait for the outcome.

This is going to be worse than CAS over the next three days.

Got Tuesday and Wednesday off work so a Messi signing would be good on any of those days. Blaming you if it doesn’t happen ;)

 

[g180aj]

Yes.

Would you see him wanting Pep guaranteed as the manager for the 3 years he would be here?

 

[simon23]

caught it on skysports,weve also signed someone called moreno from real madrid i think

juve not real madrid

Ok...wasnt this one of @Ezzy predictions?

 

[Sir peace frog]

Ok...wasnt this one of @Ezzy predictions?

dont know, left barca for juve

 

[g180aj]

Ok...wasnt this one of @Ezzy predictions?

We agreed this deal over a month ago.

 

[blue oli]

Yes.

I think you may also see an Argentinian CFG team also if this comes off

Messi & Kun staying part of the CFG fabric for a long long time if we get over the first hurdle.

 

[Neville Kneville]

dont know

It was on here quite a while ago

The stadium issue in New York is still on going due to the corporate greed of landowners in the city. Apparently it’s run almost mafia like and the club have twice found a plot for the stadium only for it to become entangled in a massive political issue. I keep a close eye on NYCFC stuff and the fans are fit to pull their hair out. Attendances have dropped continuously since their expansion and many are “giving up” until they have a home. A certain someone in three years with the prospect of a home could change that.
Sorry if not relevant just thought I’d share

Beckham got a discount on a MLS franchise whilst CFG might not want rival a new club in the league owned by Messi The league wants to add several clubs to the league there and there are further blank spot on the map where they could add more a lot of big cities in the US and a lot of big corporate powers who would fancy being involved in a franchise be it directly or indirectly A new franchise owned by messi would send sponsorship and broadcasting across all league clubs soaring and so would help NYC

I think the other big factor is the soccer schools / pitch thing that CFG bought out Messi branding would really help could argue more so than City branding even after years of growth in city fan base

my only concern is that he has a change of heart

the club have clearly done everything in prep to make this happen if he gives the word but it would be a huge wrench for him to leave somewhere he has been for 20 years - it wouldnt be surprising to see him do a u-turn and have a change of heart
