Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Tugay One Cup]

He's definitely leaving, isn't he?

Bartomeu is a useless twat and has been the focal point but it's not as if it's him purely at the center of all this. They've been playing PR games with Messi for a while now and it's pretty clear that they're using their presence in the media to blame him for his departure.

Bartomeu could leave tonight and there would still be people at the club who have conspired against Messi for their own benefit.

Oooooh, it's Manel's mum. That makes a whole lot more sense.

Yeah I didn't word that right, apologies!

Everyone knows the odds for him coming to city are going to go from 11/8 to 1/6 then 12-1

Let's not throw our caps in the air just yet

It would be an amazing statement of intent.

The unknown is whether City will seek to agree terms with Messi without barcelona's agreement.

Could City negotiate with Messi without the consent of barcelona on the basis that we believe he is contractually free of barcelona?

How could FIFA regard that as tapping up or an illegal approach if there's a legal basis to argue he is free at the time - even if it is subsequently determined that he is not!! Another minefield. I would if I were City try and do this with the Barcelona board's agreement even if it means paying a significant but small fee.

It’s never stopped Bayer, or the Dippers befor!

Why're people suddenly downbeat?

Messi has demanded ,alarm bells

Messi has demanded alarm bells where? To be fitted in the Tunnel Club if there's a chip pan fire in the kitchen?
