And when did we drop our interedt in KK. You have got yourself bent round the axle over an unknown source suggesting a PL team has bought Carlos

Didn’t say we had, but I can’t think of many PL teams other than us and maybe Tottenham who could/would spend this much on Carlos.

We’ll see. Hopefully it’s not us.

Of course we didn’t want to. Koulibaly is the only central defender in the world who would have a similar effect to our defence as Van Dijk had to Liverpool.

So we’re about to spend 60-70m on an unproven central defender? Perfect, just what we need, another Otamendi. Fucks sake.

I talk to fans of a club we are linked to just to see what the players are like and what the fans of that club thinks of them, One of the fans iv talked to said to me today that Diego agreed terms with a premier league club might not be us i take info off them with a pinch of salt as it could be wrong. Same with Napoli fans i had one saying he signed shirts as goodbye presents etc.

I hate drama in my day to day life. Can't be arsed with it and can't stand those who create it for themselves and others.

But this, this is what I crave. I'm a baby sipping milk from the teat of the summer transfer window. And I've got a pair of double Ds luring me in.

Ota played his part in the success. Decent player never moaned, gets far too much shit at times.
 
I am convinced and confident that we are still in for KK and Messi. If not we would have bought a cb and a cm. plenty available on the market. Why settle for second best? Wait it out and we will get these deals done.

I hope you really don't believe we will get Messi. Koulibaly maybe but we need to get our arses in gear on that one, less than month left.

Until the window shuts or Messi signs a new deal I will remain steadfast that he wants to move to city. I wld be happy with just Kk. The Team wld be instantly improved with his pace and power. Unless he turns out to be Mangala in disguise.

He does want City. Bartomeu won't sell. It seems fairly black and white to me.

You can’t trust a politician. Who knows what games he is playing. If it is as clear cut as you suggest why would Messi bother with the interview? Lots of games at play here but more importantly lots of money.

The entire transfer budget is now earmarked for Messi. Work is going on behind the scenes to settle with sponsors of Barca whose contracts were dependant on Messi being there. Defensive reinforcement plans have been shelved on the grounds that we'll work with what we've got because with Messi we will outscore everyone.

I made all this up but it's both feasible and appealing

Messi bothered with the interview because he couldn't just show up to training and act like nothing happened. He wanted to go, we all know that. Bartomeu said no, so unless we're hoping for a miracle and for him to suddenly change his mind, the deal is dead for this summer.
 
itisrising said:
Why would he when he wasn't prepared to meet at the table to begin with? He said he would not negotiate, that's not a negotiation tactic, that's a stance. If he wanted an offer he would've met City and seen what we would be prepared to offer.

Long way to go on this. €100 million can change a persons stance. Throw in a young slow physically and mentally weak Garcia to sweeten the deal. Also do we have any proof he point blank refused to meet with KAM? Very quiet from camp Barca.

How can it change his stance when he probably knew he could extract that from City to begin with and still refused to negotiate? From where I'm sitting, this deal is absolutely dead in the water. Messi has rejoined the side, absolutely no indication that Bartomeu would even be willing to change his stance and no links that City believe they can still get him. We all want Messi but the reality is that now isn't the time it'll happen.

Until a bid is submitted we can’t know how Bart will react. He is not the evil mastermind people like to believe. He is a politician with huge debts. All he wants is for this to go away and for himself to pocket a large fee and accept no blame.We are talking bout a 33 year old player who has asked to leave. 100 is an acceptable offer.

You're just setting yourself up for disappointment. If he wanted the money, he'd have agreed to negotiate. You do not bid on players that a team will not negotiate for. Messi will not happen. Bartomeu has explicitly said he will not sell him and the links ended once Messi had the interview and rejoined training. It's over.
