Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

I think you underestimate what power 159m Instagram followers gives you.

I can see the headlines now - ‘what the stats don’t tell you - why Mason Greenwood has been better than Messi this season’

It largely depends on the exact wording of his contract.

You think?

Ain't happening people.

Rag

QED

It's done, now a matter of negotiating terms for his City arrival

I reckon so too. Just a question of whether City do it with barca's agreement and arrange a fee to smooth it over,and that probably depends on a reading of his contractual situation.

If I were City I'd try and reach an agreement with Barca if there's significant doubt over Messi's 'freedom of contract'

"Manchester City paying so much money for Lionel Messi is an absolute joke." Merson said.

"I thought he was out of his depth at Barcelona. He never once went out on the pitch and looked like he belonged there. I don't think he could handle it - and now he's going to City for about three times what Barcelona paid for him. Not for me.

"He'll be on the bench at City for a start, because you can't change a winning team. Who does he get in ahead of? No-one. They're all playing too well.

"Okay, he's had a good season in Barcelona. But there are only a few decent clubs there really, aren't there? It's not the Premier League.'

"I thought it was in Lira, Geoff, I really did"

"He's good, but he's not a top top top top top player."

Only bigger news in world football would be Harry Maguire signing for Olympiakos

The Albanians would never let that happen.

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.

No doubt he'll be called a rag for his first ever post - I understand it to be compulsory

This was what Merson said about KDB btw, just changed it to Messi!

The funniest part is that could be a real quote.

I hope not. Feck Barto, leave them on the hook with a free transfer

Let it burn
