This is so ridiculous it isn’t even funny. Lawyers have a duty of the highest confidentiality, so of course that means they will immediately run off to the papers and tell them not only the conversations they had with the wealthiest clients on their books but also what advice they gave... thus ensuring they are never instructed again.

Replacing Jesus would be tough IMO. We are so lucky to have Jesus - seems to sit tight and wait for his chance without causing any fuss and when he gets that chance, works his balls off and for all the whinging is a pretty high calibre second choice striker. Before even considering the price, it could be a difficult sell to any very good strikers to say you will be second choice for a couple of years and even if they accept that, there are no guarantees that they will be as professional as Jesus has been when sat on the bench for long periods.Well if we ditch Jesus, we are then much more desperate for a cf than we are for Messi.
I'm not sure who we can guarantee to replace Jesus & for how much.
If they slag us off or put us down or try to make us look stupid then guaranteed clicks and hits.
Praise us and give us credit equals less hits and clicks.
IF we sign Messi I'm intrigued to see just how these one eyed, bitter, anti city nobheads in the press try to be negative with one of the best players of the generation.
It’s already started with them mate. By the time he gets here(if he does) he’s going to be a one footed,overhyped,past it mercenary according to our impartial press.
5,560 followers - not credible. And I think he's just taken that from The Athletic piece.... is that “according to Barca” ?

I think anything more than say £75m, being the c. £50m wages + £25m which Barca give us back for Garcia is getting too much. The above would have us amortise over a 3 year contract at £25m netted off in the first year against Garcia, Barca get to book the full £75m and amortise Garcia over a 5 year contract at £5m per year, so both parties win. Anything more than that and Barca would have to start buying someone else to not leave too much of a dent, assuming sponsor increases would be paying for Messi from a contractual perspective.
I don't think it will happen anyway.

I'd also be interested to see the stats for results per minutes played in games won by a single goal, away from home, in recent seasons, compared to Aguero.

Surely the solution will only be solved if Messi holds his nerve and buys out his remaining contract which will be the clearest indicator of his intentions.

Could be a chance for our world beating academy to produce a couple of gems. I know it pays its way selling players on but I’d love it to save us a few quid as well..Sorry mate. I just really don't want us to go into the new season with Kun as our only striker as it would bite us on the arse.
It'd be a dream to sign Leo but i don't want Gabby going the other way.
How much would it cost for him to buy his own contract out?Surely the solution will only be solved if Messi holds his nerve and buys out his remaining contract which will be the clearest indicator of his intentions.
You're right! The time limit confused me. I thought it meant you only had two years to terminate your contract. But it means you have to wait two years before you can.
I went on the same journey but in reverse lol!
