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

[RayCTID]

God I hope not.

Shite joke I don't think we won't go anywhere near him despite his change in sponsor

 

[kaz7]

Maybe he has a bit more about him and genuinely loves and respects his kids.

Its obviously of major importance to him hence him mentioning so publically in his interview.

What dont you get?

Every parents loves and respects their kids but if a new job comes up then they move and take them with them, it is not child abuse, i think he is using the family card, he must have known a week ago this was heading legal and he contacted us remember , wonder how the club feel being used again

I had to be persuaded to want him here every page and indeed every window, i said he will never leave barca , well hello, he won't leave till he is 34 ,but he wont,it wouldn't be worth upsetting the little angels for a short time,he will never leave

 

[sir baconface]

Ridiculed! Do me a fuckin favour.

I take it you’ve skipped the previous 1459 pages of fawning and dreaming. 3,800 including the other thread.

We should move on and preserve whatever dignity we have left.

 

[MarsLlama]

Tolm said neither want to join us.

All due respect, he's not the be all and end all. Mbappe is very unlikely but it doesn't sound right to me that Haaland will be happy to stay at Dortmund forever.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Think it's done. How much would City be prepared to bid for him, would it be enough for Bartomeu to accept and save face?
That's the only way he leaves now.

The landscape will have changed in 6 months time and if he is still there then he will never leave.

 

[City Raider]

Next move, start spending money and put out rumours on next targets.

If Bartomeu needs the money, force him out of hiding.

 

[Claytop]

So we assume he couldn’t have been bought out of the last year of his contract?

 

[Damanino]

I kind of hope Messi & Barca will fail in the group stage of CL in this season. That would be a much bigger failure than the 8-2 vs Bayern.
God I hope they get the group of death. Bayern-Barca-Inter-Monchengladback maybe..

 

[meltonblue]

Can’t see a bid going in now, Barca will stick to their guns regardless. More likely Bartomeu resigning.

 

[markbmcfc]

Don’t buy the idea it’s a final power play to get the fans on side. Where’s the logic in that? The fans hate Barto anyway, what are they gonna do turn up at his house rioting to let the best player ever leave the club in more of the shit? The idea that fans can force this through is madness. It might work the other way, but not to allow a player like him to leave.

City’s next play it’s to get a deal with him early January (Nowt barto can do about that) and negotiate with Barca a fee to take him then rather than next summer. If they still don’t budge we’ll probably go back next summer.

If he stinks the place out between now and January maybe Barca will want to do the deal.

 

[I'm Blue]

Shite joke I don't think we won't go anywhere near him despite his change in sponsor

Yeah I knew that, I doubt we’d go anywhere near him either, too much drama on and off the pitch.

 

[manimanc]

...maybe this is all part of the plan.
We bid, they accept, badda-bing, badda-bong, betty boo.

 

[Damanino]

So we assume he couldn’t have been bought out of the last year of his contract?

Of course not, thats not how it works otherwise Sane would have given us 6m pounds and leave to Bayern.

 

[Rammy Blue]

So we assume he couldn’t have been bought out of the last year of his contract?

Obviously true that no-one wants to open the floodgates by using this Webster ruling.

 

[Coatigan]

To everyone blaming Messi for "not having big enough balls" this isn't SimCity where you can just do whatever the hell you want. The more money you make, the more revenue that is attached to you has a direct correlation to just how tangled the legal and logistical web one has to untie to break away from that entity. If he'd have praised the club and in a week has an extension I'd speak differently but all in all I think he stepped through the hoops he could to try and make a move happen. If Barca let him ride it out and he's walking away free next late spring... I believe they are making a huge mistake based on who and pride.

I have no issue with him deciding to stay. My disgust is at the things he said about the club he loves, while saying he has no choice but to stay. shocking

 

[argyle]

So, who do we go for now then?

Still need a CB, LB and I'll keep banging the drum for us to get a new Defensive Midfielder.

A partnership of Gundogan and Rodri again will meltdown this forum more than Messi staying.

 

[jimmy blue shoes]

Can we still put an offer in for Miss Bum Bum?

We can still put an offer in for Lionel Messi!

 

[MarsLlama]

I kind of hope Messi & Barca will fail in the group stage of CL in this season. That would be a much bigger failure than the 8-2 vs Bayern.

That's impossible sadly but Benfica and Marseille may not be.

 

[shak]

Yes he has said the board are shit and he loves the club, but you don't say the shit about your family being distraught at the idea of moving if you are still trying to leverage a move.

The optimism on here is inspiring, but its just going to look awkward on October 6th when we haven't signed any of our remaining targets and Messi is still in Barcelona. Hopefully the board see this for what it is.

 

[Don Karleone]

There's 2 ways to win.

1) Go to court.

2) Get Bartomeu to find his conscience and honour the arrangment.

If those are genuinely the 2 ways to win, it's definitely over.

1) He won't go to court
2) Bartomeu doesn't have a conscience
3) Bartomeu doesn't know the meaning of the word honour.
