a) Have won something
b) Qualified for CL.
c) Established ourselves in the sky 4.
Only then do we stand a chance of getting him. He will not want to be accused of going for the money he will want the move to win silverware.
Minimum 3 -4 years away.
or he could actually say "i,ve won CL and would like a new challenge with my mates carlos and pablo".....why can this not be the case.........
BringBackSwales said:Probably almost certainly not going to happen but we have more chance of getting him than the scum and who would have thought that a year ago when we were in danger of imploding under thaksin? Let's not be embarrassed if our owners do try, just revel in the fact that it IS possible and even if not now then next year or the year after that

I hope youre not being serious! Why on earth would the worlds greatest player leave the worlds greatest team, and move from the city of Barcelona to Manchester (as much as I love it, it doesnt have the same appeal to most)? It is never going to happen.

They're not in the same class. I know people keep on forgetting to acknowledge this, but they are not in the same class as Messi, Kaka and Ronaldo. You think of it there are usually 3 top players every 2 or 3 years or so. Those players are untouchable when it comes to 99% of English clubs. Not even Chelsea can get them, they tried and failed, (for Goofy), but they tried and failed after winning a couple of Premier Leagues, which gave them a bit of credibility.

Well why did Ronaldo join Madrid, if thats your theory? Oh thats right, its been his boyhood dream. DO you think Messi;s boyhood dream after fulfilling his ambitions with Barca was to play at Man City? No, it wasn't. He could though, if this is believable, join another team capable of winning the CL, just like Ronaldinho has, just like Ronaldo has and just like Shevchenko thought he could do. Come on mate, it will be cringe-worthy if we try to get him and then definitely fail.
