Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Missed it, when was that?

Its quiet thread.

Messi has demanded ,alarm bells

Not really Pep is probably the biggest factor were he to decide to come. For all he knows Pep could get sacked and Messi end up playing the last years of his career under Steve Bruce or Niel Warnock, always best to make sure.

Messi has demanded ,alarm bells

The best player in the world is demanding the best manager in the world to stay. That’s hardly cause for alarm bells.

Now if Messi was demanding David Moyes to replace Pep, that would cause alarm bells.

This ties in Kun and Pep as well, its huge if we have pulled this off.

My thoughts as well.

Just fail to believe it as it's the hope that kills you.

Koeman having quite an impact at Barcelona.

I am sure his interpersonal skills were part the reason Everton were glad to get rid of him.

Seems to have poured petrol on the flames at Barcelona.

I would think he`s had/has the full support of their top brass and probably the reason for bringing him in.

Massive?

How amazing this transfer would be, does anyone care about... you know, the practical stuff?

Shirt number? I would not let Messi take the no 10, that's Sergio's. He's the legend who made this club what it is.
Are we destroying our wage structure? How would this affect the other players? We need to be prepared to lose a key player if Messi joins us.

Messi is more than just a footballer

Messi is a commercial wet dream, Sponsors, Kit Manufacturers, noodle suppliers will all be climbing over themselves to be associated with Messi and City by proxy

Messi offers the city project something beyond money - messi offers instant Legitimacy - this is more than a financial transaction, this is the endgame.

All the practicality’s can be worked out later — this is an opportunity you simply don’t pass up on because he wants a different shirt number

This transcends football

Oh dear.

Quiet you old fart.

Messi might be a notch or two above Rodney Marsh tbf.

hehe he might indeed, however the rest of the team are also a notch or two above the rest of the team Rodders joined so my point still stands :)

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Without a shadow of doubt, messi is the greatest player ive ever seen imo and ive seen a few
But im not sure if I'd want him at city now, is it too late? The media circus will be in overdrive
I wouldn't want any of our current stars upsetting in anyway
I don't know my head is spinning
WOW!!
