Good point, this appears to be an insurmountable problem.

No. Easy to sort.... Give Messi 1..... Because he obviously is...( Don't know why nobody has thought of this before) and Kun 9.... That's your 10 sorted. Leave the rest of the minions to fight it out between them....

Brazilian twitter claiming city are in discussions with barca about a jesus/messi swap.

Dont want to be a fud, but not i'd like jesus to stay. Getting messi in on a free or even for a modest fee is great, but at the expense of jesus? ugh, not sure i feel ok with that.

What if we get Neymar as well?...;)

So assuming he signs do we arrange a friendly vs Stoke away as this has all people have talked about for years.
How would the stoke fans react I wonder?

Still don't get why messi used a fax. I realise he probably hasn't had to do this sort of thing since the 90's, but surely he has Internet?

Its always the littlest things that scupper these deals :(

Agreed how on earth can we be pay €150m then his wages and stay within FFP?

I wonder if Txiki has thought about that

No not really
I think that could be sorted out.
Maybe a change of number for Aguero
He could wear 100, maybe an extra 0 will keep him happy.

Do I sense sarcasm there ?

He can be fined two weeks wages for not turning up, roughly £2-3m

Or ~15 years of my wages.

Or ~75 minutes of current Bluemoon ad revenue.

Man City are weighing up offering Lionel Messi a long-term contract that would see him move to partner club NYCFC after three years in the Premier League

This is another unique thing that only City can offer him which could have a big influence on his choice. He can map out the rest of his career, a few seasons in England with a team capable of having a serious crack at the CL (which he craves to win again) then a seamless transition to a club based in one of the world's great cities.
