January Transfer Window Its very quiet..or is it?

Don’t you think it’s possible if Messi was to join he may work slightly harder and run then he currently does?
It’s plausible that playing under a string of managers and a board he’s got little or no respect for has had an impact on his work ethic.

It’s also plausible that being at a new club that’s outside his comfort zone playing for a manger he respects and wants to play for May mean he’s inclined to put the yards in.

I can see why Messi signing has its risks it’s big wages for an older player but signing a 24 year old for big Money is just as risky when you consider he may bomb out and our track record of recouping fees is shocking.

Personally I think get him in.
Play him just off the striker in the middle and let him be free.
Play KDB 5 yards further back and see how it goes. Play Foden on the right and let him and Messi interchange during the match.

Great post. All I'd add is that it's a false choice between Messi and another young player. Signing Messi funds other signings be it in the summer or a year from now.

As above all of these concerns have been addressed multiple times by many posters in the messi thread and the summer It's Quiet thread. Very boring to have to keep going over the same tired old ground of "but he's old and expensive and doesn't run". It's all daft.

All of these issues are *easily* resolvable as has been explained on here multiple times by several posters. Read the board.

If we had had a forward line in 2011, including , Messi and Aguero, i would have been in dreamland, if we start the 2021 season with those two as starters, i am less convinced.
Your economic argument that Messi, will make us rich, will hardly be backed up by Barcelona, they have not a pot to piss in. He may help increase revenue, in the short term but will not make us rich.
You did not answer my question to you re your watching of Spanish football this season. You did like a post that suggested Messi will suddenly start running if he joins City, which made an idiot smile)
