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

Correct.

Hey Tolmie, is this your own view? Or have you heard that Messi actually still wants to leave Barca this Summer and come to us?

 

[Chi-town blues]

I wasn't spot on when it mattered though, the final money shot. He was supposed to be on a plane tonight :(

I didn't expect to get that call a couple weeks back but I bet neither did City! Sounds like lots of politics in play.

Well you did your best and it’s not your fault. Some here act like as if you are calling the shots but infact you are just passing 2,3 hand info.

Messi literally said he wants out lol it’s just that he can’t leave

I have a feeling Barto won't give a flying fuck about the video, he only cares if Messi stays this season. He is out in March? so Messi leaving would technically not be during his reign.
Man is facing criminal charges, starts smear campaigns against players/staff all he cares about is that history books won't say Messi left during his tenure.

 

[Rhea Salvo]

Barca twitter only shared one sentence of the whole interview:
“I will give it my all. My love for Barça will never change.”

Barto probably would not let any other sentence to be put out there lol.

If Barcelona FC is a country, they’ll put China to shame on censorship.

Yeah I gathered that, but is this part of the game with that rat Barto, does Messi still think he’ll be able to join City?

Really hope Barca starts the season very bad, and gets an icredibly hard group of death in cl. Koeman then will find out what he just took over. Maybe some other players will be fed up and we can look at them..

 

[chesterbells]

mmm Well the window still has another month. I personally can’t see it happening.

Probably the best frame of mind to keep I reckon

I don’t know how much power a president holds at Barça - is he not answerable to a board? I cant see how they will be happy with this outcome-unless Barto has convinced them that Messi will come round and accept the situation

His best friend at Barca seems to be Suarez. They say you judge a man by the company he keeps.

I can’t believe they’ve gone for Koeman
He was bobbins at Southampton and Everton

I don't know either but feels like if they had reasonable people on the board we wouldn't be where we are now.

Breaking news Nathan Ake has put in a transfer request
He Signed because he thought he would be sat next too and playing with Messi however it’s now Gundogan

 

[sky tot]

I’ve barely contributed to this thread but I’ve been ever present since Messi put his transfer request in . It’s been great fun @tolmie's hairdoo has been a star .

Aguero is also his best friend...

He's close to Sergio too though right. That's good company.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Moving on from the whole Messi situation we are obviously in for Koulibaly but I’m interested to see who the third deal @BillyShears mentioned. There hasn’t been any real links with anyone else so it may be a little out of left field.

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

We all feel let down I get it
We signed the likes of Toure Silva and Aguero and Tevez reasonably easily and stress free
Now we have Messi and Koulibaly and Sanchez amongst others turning us down Or not happening
I wonder why don’t get me wrong I live Khaldoon and our execs I just feel disappointed again
Maybe it’s the beer
