Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[SebastianBlue]

My first question to Messi would be.....

Lionel..............(Long pause for breath,clear my throat)

Is it a Muffin or a Barm ?

Messi’s response...

 

[SiMCFC]

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'

In real life though, you don't just give £50m away to be nice, sounds easy saying it but as a business it sounds ridiculous, that is his wages.

Fuck Barca and what they think, do you think at any point they thought 'lets pay City what they want for E.Garcia', did they fuck.

a) a bit far south
b) a stealth LearJet? Unlikely even for City

It's just reached near Nantes in France...heading North...

Edit: and it's being followed by a Cessna from the same out of nowhere near Gibralter

Daily Fail going in to full on panic mode.

"City face a bill for £629,000 000,and FIFA sanctions if Court rules in Barcelona favor,if we sign him base on him being a free agent.

I despise that RAG.

Are they not aware that FFP is relaxed this season ?

 

[FCBarca]

Is he a wizard at posting reliable info?

Reliable in terms of accuracy of already disseminated info but not a source for a scoop of any kind - it's effectively a one stop account for Barca news/rumours

I like Hagrid and follow

If Messi does sign for us, put money on Raz getting a Balon D'Or or PL player of the year, he would score an unbelievable amount of goals with Kev and Messi providing the assists

Anyone not wanting Messi needs their head testing. As bad as Merson!

He is not only an extremely special footballer, but he will catapult the club to new levels off the pitch as well. We aren't just a football club, we are a business, a global brand. Bringing Messi to City would do wonders for our brand globally. We will acquire 20m fans minimum overnight just because of Messi and it will put the club firmly on the map alongside Europe's elite.

We will have to wait and see how this plays out, if they do honour this grace period within his contract, then he could potentially walk away for nothing. I personally think that this grace period should be honoured. Yes i understand that a specific date in June had been written into the contract, but going through a global pandemic will have changed matters. Most companies now have been allowed grace periods to issue their company accounts annually, so why can't Messi have this grace period to have the option to cancel his contract? After all, the season (CL) only finished on Sunday.

If we do sign Messi, there will be no more "City are a lickle club" jibe who nobody cares about... City will have pulled off the most amazing transfer in football history that will have the world gushing or seething. That lickle ickllleeee City will be the talk of the land.

Sheikh Mansour when he bought the club didn't envisage his dream would be to sign the likes of Bony, Nolito, Jo, Rodwell, Scott Sinclair etc. They have bought the club for days like this... to bring the worlds most famous sports star to the Stade De Etihad, the Theatre of the Arab Kings.

This is Khaldoon's calling card, this is his big moment. Bring us Messi and propel this wonderful football club to a completely different stratosphere.
