Have you got a stiff neck?

of course I have ;-)

I can’t believe we are seriously debating wether we should swap Jesus for Messi or not.

Whilst I accept it leaves is a little light up front. Who would you trust at money time?!

 

[Chi-town blues]

Is it time for bouncy gifs or not ?

If Messi rolled up at the etihad I would gladly give you £100 Theo

Excellent!

When is Messi supposed to be making a statement, what time? Still get a feeling he will do a u turn.

No definate time,it said the coming days

Mahrez is the only player I could sacrifice for this deal to happen. We don’t have a young and hungry striker if we ship out Jesus, only Agüero who could perform another 2-3 years tops. Bernardo is a special special player and I would never let him go.

If the club let go of any of Jesus or Bernardo, I would be so pissed. And honestly I don’t care if it’s Messi. We have to think about the future as well.

Mahrez, Garcia, throw in Zinchenko

Watch this and tell me he's past it.

Nah. Just about the marketing ain’t it @Marvin

Barca have zero bargaining power here, they have to let him leave now and any fee will be as a sweetener on our part. we’re not about to allow key players to leave, they can demand whoever they want but doesn’t mean it’s happening, we turn around and say he’s not for sale they’re not exactly going to pull the plug on it are they?

They need to try and make the best of a terrible situation so you can understand them asking for players like Bernardo and Jesus but we’re not mugs, we’ll only entertain players that are expendable and given the praise Pep continually heaps on Jesus he is not expendable.

One of the reasons Messi wants out of Barca is because he’s sick of carrying a poor side, if he’s leaving he simply has to win big at his next club, there’s no alternative, he isn’t going to want to see us sacrifice key players that could jeopardise that happening to bring him here.

Of course they do. He’s contracted. His leave clause has gone. They can take it to court, drag it on, neither Messi plays nor do city have a sniff of were even interested.

Pep told by Messi that “money would not be a hindrance, I want to play for Man City”
