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

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Your right about a meal ticket I’m going to treat myself to a king prawn puri starter tonight on the back of this :-)

your guts must be a site to behold, Andy

sausage barms for brekkie, curry filled dill For tea, was it spam and egg for lunch (:

 

[PJM1891]

so this is going to get even wilder today....

Maybe he is releasing the rumoured video.

 

[kaz7]

So he’s reluctantly seeing out his contract according to sky.

Apparently we can’t be arsed with the legal hassle

that would make sense after the stress of the last two years, seems when it came to crunch we both backed down

 

[Ric]

that didn't sound enthusiastic Ric

Roger that! Is that better?

 

[Damanino]

Court or staying, Messi needs to decide.. Friendly exit option is out of equation.

 

[bobmcfc]

that’s not what sky said... they said they were handed a note suggesting g that but it’s far from confirmed.

That Gary fella just said they’ve heard from sources close to Messi. His exact words were we don’t want to pay a transfer fee or get caught in a legal battle.
Hope he’s talking shit but he did say it

 

[TheThirdDeano]

can't wait for the next hourly change of pace

 

[Segga]

Why would they hold their best ever player against his will for 10 months and let him go for free? Barca are in a shit state financially it makes no sense at all for them.

 

[kaz7]

I'd hope not after everything he promised so far he has delivered!! Putting it in writing twice and missing training all week, unless they can blackmail him because they know something dodgy with his tax again, ha!

i am thinking when it comes to the crunch of a legal case we have both backed out

 

[LevyBee76]

Love that we have just beaten UEFA at CAS but just CBA with a legal battle apparently...

 

[hihosilva]

Roger that.

Still feeling confident on your bet Ric?

His Dad literally just said the contract is terminated. Hardly backing down is it! City are not involved at this stage remember. This is between Messi and Barcelona. We just pick up the scraps when Messi's told them to stick it.

 

[Citizen Green]

Ric? Are you there Ric, speak to me Ric? Keep those servers primed - this is end of days shit for the Blue Moon core reactor.

I remember getting carried away by a Kare Ingebrigsten hat-trick once against Leicester?

Is the little bastard signing or what, think we should knock this on the head and get Mido over the line.

 

[raghavk]

Anymore cryptic texts I should be looking at? Missed the last few minutes. And anymore things likely to happen today?

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

So that's a week wasted with a CB, LB etc. still needed

 

[lonestay]

Kaz why have you gonna all negative ? Nothing so far suggests he is staying at Barca that has come from the Messi side .

Lasagna :-)

Think we have to weigh up his wages plus any penalty should Barça pursue us in court. Could we be sure of the outcome and risk breaking ffp for a player who genuinely would be about to leave in 7 months.
this 7 months will be expensive for Barca as he has a 63m loyalty bonus due at the end of his contract

 

[p.taker]

Window is shut?

 

[super_city_si]

What’s all his legal battle shit? Surely if push comes to shove he just buys out his remaining year and we pay him back? What’s that ? £50M?
