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

[kaz7]

Read it and it sounds like his head is up his arse.

He wants to go but basically isnt allowed.

He wants to win but realises he'll win fuck all there as they've gone so shit.

His bird and nippers kicked off royal when he said he wanted to bounce.

Tbf that would wreck anyone's nut.

Imo he's put his family and club before himself and that's commendable, even if we wished he didn't.

I still think there'll be more to come on this.

Really ? People move around every day, our players stay here ten years but still manage to rip their kids away from friends, it is called real life, he could put them in a helicopter every weekend to see their pals till they made new ones,most people can't

 

[CC1]

He’s looking for help from Abu Dhabi, and I think Khaldoon needs to pull up his big boy pants and do it, Txiki and Ferran know where the bodies are buried, this is just the beginning

BUT - he's not worth breaking our transfer policy for - especially as it would mean no other purchases - not to mention another investigation and bad vibes re FFP

 

[Rammy Blue]

There will be fuck all more to it if his Mrs and kids have said they dont fancy East Manchester.

I think that might have been established though before he sent the fax....

 

[route46]

Looks to me he has put the ball back in Barca court....keeping him against his will

had £800 on him joining City 20k win if he joins

 

[City Raider]

Can this thread be left for the dreamers who are still clinging on lol. Attack dogs on the other one [emoji1]

 

[Jacob Smith]

This will have a huge impact on clauses in future contracts with top players surely saying no to ridiculously high release clauses rather than just going along with the club’s wishes taking it for granted that they’ll want to stay at said club for the length of that contract

 

[blueinsa]

I think that might have been established though before he sent the fax....

Which then leads to is this a media circus to get one over Bartomeo?

 

[01cravend]

This was a time for Messi to show courage - and he’s come up short again. I think on balance he is best to stay there and go down with the sinking ship. City gave it a go but we just move on now... we are in good hands and need to get our title back.

Do you think Vinny would take us to court in a similar situation?

We gave it a go by not wanting to rile Barca and left Messi to do it all himself

 

[Manx Blue]

I mentioned it earlier this week....Fabian Delph initially didn't join us for family reasons, but then dids u turn for professional ones. There is time. The last week has been madness.

 

[Nails]

I have severe ADHD. My reading comprehension is beyond appalling and I know I’ll zone out after the first few sentences. Thus, my opinion on this matter is likely to be utter tripe.

Ha, me too with ADHD. Weirdly, one of the few things I CAN concentrate on is reading.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Another little thing; Why GOAL?

 

[kippaxwarrior]

BARTO LAUGHING IN THE FACE OF LEO AND JORGE.
PISSING HIS SIDES IN FACT.
WHAT A FUCKIN CIRCUS.

How to do work that out?

If I was Bartomeu I'd be worried now. He's come out publicly and slated not only him but the other entire club.

Bartomeu has got a deeply unhappy player on his hands who he has to pay £53M this year. How to you think that's going to affect the team and fans.

If we come in with an offer of say £100M I think he might be tempted

 

[RayCTID]

2 nd round 10 more to go.

Fair fucks in sticking it out but its over now

 

[higgi1p]

Power to do what, he’s got 3 years max at the top, Koeman isn’t going anywhere, if he wants to win trophies it won’t be with Barca, he’s just said there’s no direction, they are letting most of the first team go by the sounds of it, no money to spend, what is Messi going to use his power for, magic up hundreds of millions in transfer money and wages?

Koeman is temporary as I see it just a shotgun to rid the deadwood. Messi with new President who he gets on well with, will be given promises and then a high position in club set up now and when he hangs his boots up

 

[PistonBlue]

This time next year he'll still be at Barca. New contract, new President, Xavi will be his manager, and his wife and kids wont have worry about moving to Beswick
We've been had, again.

 

[Danamy]

There's only two ways this can go:

1: He's buying time until January until he can talk and sign for someone else without dragging Barca through the courts

2: He's making it clear he wants Bartomeu out in March so the club can move forward, in which case he'll sign a new deal at Barca and stay there for the rest of his career.

I'm now firmly in the number 2 camp

 

[argyle]

and Chelsea initial fee for Havertz is only ~62m??? Fuck me, what a shit day.

Don't know about a shit day, but yes, Chelsea will be a fantastic team next season.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

The comments about his family, his wife and children suggests this is over.

Agree totally, although it could be seen as the default response, it almost reminds you he’s a human being after all.... the heart strings have clearly been snapped, however, gorilla glue can fix almost anything nowadays (:

bitter? Yeah, understand his decision? Certainly

 

[crazyg]

Deffo think if we're offering a billion he will be ours!

The Sheik just had a rummage in his sock drawer, and found all bar a couple of quid.

 

[I'm Blue]

Not sure how people still believe this is on.
This deal hasn’t progressed from day one.
For all the talk, statements and posturing we’ve gone round in circles.
I’d love to be wrong but I don’t see it happening, Not now at least, free next season maybe.
But next season is a long time and things change, they may change at Barca, in Messi’s head, his Family, many factors which could change from now till then.
