Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[SWP's back]

Today is my birthday. The socks that the kids bought me were pretty nice but Messi to City might well beat them for presents.

Also I just want to point out that last season in a rough Barca team, Messi scored more goals than Aguero did for us and ALSO had just short of the amount of assists that KDB did.

If that's a decline then I'd be interested to know what Sergio and KDB have.

Happy birthday.

True - George Weah scored 3 of his 4 City goals v Gillingham in the 2 legs of the LC and there are parallels if he moved here. I could see it ending the same way though.

I can just imagine the reaction from the swamp, would be worth it for that alone.

To be fair, he was right about De Bruyne. A complete waste of money.

All very well saying they may want Jesus or Bernardo but surely neither will want to go!

Barca with no messi, no suarez, no pique, no neymar.

You’d really struggle to convince any of them to leave city (that has messi) to join barca (that doesnt).

And Yaya...

Surely we would have to wait for a CAS decision? Both sides think they are right over the contract clause issue. So to get him on a free would be a long wait would it not? And time is of the essence considering his age! We can’t sign him on a free if there’s a contractual dispute, surely? And if we could, what happens if Barca then win at CAS? How much are we liable for?

I still dont see how it affects us.

We will be signing Messi in good faith that his Club contract expired.Which legally it appears it has.

And i am 100% certain our Lawyers will have all angles covered with this one.

And even in a worst case scenario CAS would arbitrate a compromise based on his age etc.

Ain't happening people.

Are you f×××ing joking. It's a barm.;)

I've had it on good authority - Sergio, no less - that Jesus has chip muffins and a cup of tea for lunch and Messi has chip barms with a litre of sangria. Just another reason to hang on to what we've got!

I’ve heard that Messi has just changed his ringtone to blue moon, registered for the forum and got a guvnors tattoo on his calf. Huge if true.
