Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[LucahArchie10]

What you have to remember is that there are different resources available depending on different players. As has been mentioned a number of times, Messi is a marketing phenomenon and will open up additional sponsorship income that wouldn't otherwise be there. Hence, it isn't a case that we could spend £400m on other players fees and wages because, if it were other players, we wouldn't have the £400m in the first place.

This would be a one-off deal for a one-off player. The tricky bit is ensuring that the rest of the team understand and buy into that point of view.

Absalute blob on.

In easy terms if this deal costs CFG 400m they will get back at least double
Add new fan base, sponsors & god knows what else oh maybe City get catapulted into orbit & leapfrog Liverpool, UTD & PSG in the highest turnover of football clubs

Well at least we can argue abut the pros and cons of signing Messi this Summer.

Imagine if we'd have lost at CAS. We'd probably be infighting now about whether to sell Foden or de Bruyne.

Exactly. And for people concerned he won't be peak Messi .....no he won't be absolute peak Messi but this isn't Rodney fucking Marsh we're talking about.
It's arguably the greatest player the game has ever seen. How did he reach such incredible heights? Sure he has supreme natural ability but also it's through incredible determination and devotion to his craft. To even imagine he's coming to City to ease off and have a bit of a holiday with his best mate is totally underestimating the pride he takes in what he does. He's just turned 33, not 43. If anything coming to City should give him a new lease of life and he can play with a big weight off his shoulders from carrying that club. To suggest the premier league will be too much for him is laughable.

Injuries are my only concern for him, anything else no way.

Rodney got a much bigger & angrier fans protest than Messi has tbf.

Most don’t pal, a small minority of blues sill pine for Moss side, cobbled back entrys covered in dogshite and rusty fridges, plumrose hotdogs, Smax and Derek Parlane, leave em to it!

Fucking freezing here in my tent in the fields around the Aerodrome. I've ran out of corned beef and red sauce barms, my flask of coffee has gone cold and the only GOAT I've seen was the one that ran off with my wank sock.

I have a feeling of déjà vu...

Q what does that mean?)

Don't know but I've seen that post somewhere before.

Hope so.... Advanced too much to go back

it’s the same with the Aguero 10 or Groundhog day references... It was funny the first post but after two days it’s just tedious and adds needless pages to a thread. Not everyone has been sat at home in their undies scratching their arses for 6 months so they are trying to look between doing work.

Barm?
