Watching a programme on Aljezeera about Messi waiting to leave Barcelona took them 10 minutes to mention City as being one of the clubs that could afford him, it then changed to talking about FFP and how supprised they were that City were cleared by CAS on a technicality

Why are you surprised, its a Qatar based channel.

Thats true, but generally signing a pre contract doesn't effect loyalty payments.His loyalty bonus has been paid over the length of his contract so it’s a no.
I know, but the experts they had on were a British sports lawyer and a Sports finance expert from Sheffield University plus a Spanish journalist that reports on BarcelonaWhy are you surprised, its a Qatar based channel.

Massive risk to keep him, they could get 100 m for him or lose him for nothing.Also stupid not to keep him!
it happens this window, or it never happens. And not in a 'we don't want him next year' way, or at least not solely in that way. I think the landscape will be so different come the end of the window that it will be it, for messi.
Barca are trying to sign Depay and Gini for a combined €55m apparently, I can still see us offering around that figure plus Garcia for Messi. Then the chain starts, Gini to Barca - Thiago to Liverpool - Gundogan to Bayern and finally Aouar to City..... We can all hope!

Hes basically saying he won't sign a new contract under this board, which means his contract will have run out by the time any new president is in place, so letting the current board know they risk losing him for nothing.So he is staying and signing a new contract lol

Memphis Depay eh.
That should solve all their problems.
Be great for him, seeing as he's been playing for Barcelona, in his head, for years.
