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

[xgorton]

I guess that's the 14 days if he arrives home tonight?

Ah well Messi will have to start against Liecester

Wolves first game 21 days away.

 

[Impeccable One]

IF he comes here I don't think we will get much of an interview with him. It seems to be accepted by a lot of the fans I have seen that he really doesn't like doing interviews. It wouldn't be a bad idea to be low key with just pictures and maybe him being shown around. I quite like the idea tbh David didn't do many social media things, different personalities for different players. Why try and push him if he isn't comfortable doing it. You never get any real information from them anyway and anything he does say will be picked apart.

I think the video should start with Aguero waiting at arrivals with a Messi sign :)

That would be brilliant, you should work for our media team!!

Last league game that season was the embarrassing 8-1 thumping in May, Mansour took over September

I know but your post said last game 2008 before our saviour took over. That game was a 3-0 win at Sunderland on August 31st 2008, not the 8-1 defeat at ‘Boro in May 2008

Staying at the airport tonight before my flight tomorrow, seen a private jet land from Barcelona, unfortunately too far away to see if Messi was on it... might ask for my money back!

Want to see the Messi effect?

Barca fan accounts reporting on City's transfers lol

His bio mentions Barca News, so wont think he would have posted about other clubs

Messi is gargantuan.

If anyone's wondering tho,
Looked up and not a good source ffs. Says the same; clubs not agreed on a fee yet while personal terms have been agreed. Knew this about a month ago I think?

Apologies I meant end of the 2008 season before the new owners kicked in.

I was just comparing then & now

 

[lancs blue]

Doesn't he have a spanish citizenship? I don't know if a work permit would even be required

Yes he does have dual nationality.

Ha! Loads! Honestly, from a personal perspective, Messi coming is a potential game changer. Think its actually quite a decent little example of what the club could expect in terms of the global reach increasing. I've seen a preemptive example of his impact already tbh. I usually get about 10k views a video, and im getting an average of about 20k on any Messi ones. I've had 2.5k subs in the past ten days alone, and given my channel took about 3 and a half years to get to 40k, I think that's quite telling!

Didnt realise EK was you, Ive subscribed today. Very enjoyable

All power to you, hope he brings you a shed load of success.

I first met the girl who was to become my wife in Torquay. You bastard!!!

Torquay.

It's not the end of the World, but you can see it.

Torquay.

It's not the end of the World, but you can see it.

but not the hanging gardens of babylon or wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain...

FIFA Regulations on the Transfer of Players, Annex 3 Article 8.

We (or the FA) have to request an International Transfer Certificate, which then has to be ratified by La Liga. If they take no action within (I think) 15 days, the certificate is granted automatically, assuming everything else is in order. If they respond to the ITC request but refuse to issue one, it goes to either FIFA's Status of Players Committee or the Dispute Resolution Committee, who can rule on it and issue a provisional ITC.

Thanks PB. Very helpful.

Wolves first game 21 days away.

With punditry by Alex Scott hopefully, as Messi comes out the tunnel.

The GOAT

 

[Mid Wales blue]

if he signs i hope we don't have that interviewer who asks stupid questions interviewing him.

"So leo, welcome to Manchester. Is it true you're named Lionel after Lionel Richie? Also what's your favourite flavour of monster munch?"

He’d reply to the first question,
haven’t You been watching my feet! the way I dance around a football pitch! it’s obviously Lionel Blair!

 

[sir baconface]

ffs, you’re a positive one aren’t you!

Generally, yes. You explain how it breaks the deadlock, please, since you’re obviously very smart.

P.S. Am off to the pub so that gives you a little longer.

Bugger all response, as expected. All mouth and fcukin trousers.

FFS.
