We are perceived as a magic money pot by other clubs. Barca will threaten a prolonged legal dispute unless they are happy with Messi's fee. His contract status is unclear. Barca are in huge debt and will not let their biggest asset go on the cheap. They will take us for all they can.

Never answered the question. It has been pointed out several times on here that any Messi fees are from a separate budget

If we get Messi we won't need a defence.

Bayern Munich say "please keep thinking like that".

This thread is slipping down the charts, lol.

Apparently we have been communicating indirectly through Napoli via KK's agent. After Jorginho there's bad blood between us and Napoli. ADL is like Levy a nightmare to negotiate with. Personally I don't think KK is worth it and we should look elsewhere.

Interesting approach if true, given it was Jorginho’s agent who was complicit in the double dealing with Chelsea, having repeatedly assured City that his client only wanted us - even when he was in a Milan having a medical to join Chelsea. For all we berate ADL - and he is a twat - the situation with Jorginho only came about because Jorginho's agent was a pathological liar and strung us along whilst he secured an alternative offer.

I think it's simplistic to blame it all on the agent, there was a good article at the time in goal that covered the variety of factors in play:

Jorginho transfer: How Chelsea hijacked Man City's £50m deal for midfielder | Goal.com

Jorginho was all set to join Manchester City from Napoli for £50 million during the summer but the Premier League champions claim the midfielder was then "bullied" into moving to Chelsea

I won’t go into it here - it’s not appropriate but someone inside the club told me that they held Jorginho’s agent largely responsible for what unfolded and shared some details that don't reflect well on him or his client.

Different agents for both players I'd hope.

Thank the Lord for Jorginho's agent

If we get Messi, it will be harder to play hardball with Napoli, since they know that we will have enough money to get Messi, so he will demand his 80 untill end of the window (5 september?)

If we get Messi, I think Napoli can go f*ck themselves for more money.
