Just stop, mate. You’re making yourself look a lot dafter than you are. If it was just one last pay day his options in Qatar, China, Japan etc would be endless. Not to mention another year at Barca would earn him 100m. He wants City because he wants to compete and he’s very comfortable working with Pep and the Barca boys in the boardroom. I’m sure he’ll want to prove himself outside of Spain too. It’s pretty much that simple.Lineker was a big brand at Barca, most kids had his shin pads of all things, much less at Spurs. Anyone who wants a Messi iconic shirt will still get a Barecelona one, that is the brand.
The deals are all done for next season and fans are mostly locked out, no chance of recouping much, and he could be finished by 2021/22.
Of course it is his last big payday, he is 33 and he will be seeking as much as possible, more than Barca were going to give him. Don't get taken in by the hype like you did for David Haye, look how that turned out.
No don’t sully the thread with references to LittlepoolEven if we sign Messi we will still probably lose out to the Dippers for the title.
They have JORDAN THE LORD HENDERSON.
Rag friend ?Just had one rag friend telling me Messi is coming for Pep and not for City. I asked him if Messi scored for us will that not be counted then ?
What would this mean in the case for Messi transfer ? think it is fairly obvious he will still want to come no matter what happens but would it make the transfer easier to negotiate if this happened?
