Have to say the none City supporters are out in full coming up with ingenious post to why Messi won’t come shouldn’t come. Keep it up and keep crying you jealous fcukers.

Messi is done at Barcelona. They've burnt the bridge with him now, they're now leaking things to the Spanish press to run him down and their president is just using Messi as a pawn in his game. No wonder he wants out, on top of how dismal on the pitch they're going to become for them, and their financial state. I for one can't wait to watch Barca crumble so see that Tebas dickhead lose his cash cow.

Of course there is a chance Messi could change his mind last minute, but I can't see it being done now. He's come to far. His interview when it happens may well be explosive, whenever he does it.

The tweet stating we advised him to do it with the Catalonian press and not the Argentinian press is telling for me. We almost have him now I feel.

That's just my opinion on what I'm reading from tolmie and the tweets and reports doing the rounds.

I believe it will happen too. Messi is the heart of Barcelona. He has to be given the freedom to do what he wants however this feels like it has a momentum and life of its own. Guardiola, Birgiristain, Soriano may feel obliged to their friend, and I think they will do whatever it takes.

Signing Messi will be a dream however I also believe at the same time that the capacity of the player is declining and people have to accept that. Sure their football club has made a lot of footballing mistakes but possibly because the whole team revolves around him as a player and hence other signings can not fully be integrated into the team? Messi has become larger than life but this cannot be so. At 25-30 anything with a player like this is possible. You make him your crown jewel but what happens now?

I think we may over-commit in signing him. However, whilst I think that Messi's talents are limited, imagine the impact on players and the team around him. They will and should feel completely compelled to do everything they can to win for him and deliver him titles. I started out as an arch-cynic of this deal but I think that this could get out of control and in achieving a dream we may do some damage? We have to be careful and be prepared to draw lines which we do not go past. Of course I haven't a clue what is going on
 
The media are setting us up to fail! Hate to say it but I don't think Messi would be coming here and when that happens the media would be bombarded with "City snubbed" articles. The club should control the narrative, right now these daily articles and tweets of "city and messi in advanced talks" just seems too deliberate. This all seems like the case of a disgruntled wife (messi) flirting with an old high school sweetheart (pep) just to get her husband's attention

Swapping Bernado, Jesus and Garcia along with a huge amount of cash is a no starter for me. The BBC just make things up to destabilise us, they are a disgraceful organisation.

BBC? Given the sheer scale of this transfer. It would be the biggest thing to ever happen in football their lack of coverage is truly amazing. None of their football writers want to contemplate City and Messi.
