Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

I’d assume this whole transfer is far further down the line than we are led to believe, consequently Bartomeu knows full well he’s fucked it all up anyway so just being petty now.

I got sent the Bruce Lee quote "be like water" when I asked what was going on. I get the feeling everyone at City has gamed this out to the last detail.

What about the rest of the plane?

you dont really want any other parts of the plane to touch anything

I'm not cracking open a single bottle until the landing gear touches down at Manchester airport and we are sure he hasn't been kidnapped by the Paper Boy.

Slight edit.

This doesn’t have the feel of buttering somebody up to have them extend their contract to say the least. If you were to take the extension rumors seriously that is

Exactly this. Even the stories being pushed by the pro Barca/ Barto media since last week tell a whole lot by themselves.

If this is the best attempt at getting him to stay, it would be akin to walking up to Margot Robbie at a bar and shouting "oi slag, nosh me off for a Fosters."

And, from what I'm told, that's not the way things are done.

Ever heard of irony ?

We all have on this forum when it’s appropriate- but why are you doing it now? What was the point?

All the flapping over how we will pay for him.... ? 1) Our Board are no bodies fools - they clearly have a plan and it has been in place for some time - its not just been drawn on the back of a fag packet. 2) Having been legged over by UEFA twice I think we just might have gone to the lengths of testing whether our plan to cover Messi's transfer and wages is FFP compliant - we will expect a shit storm and very close scrutiny. Tabas for one will go running to UEFA as will Barca to know where we got the money from and is it compliant etc... and that's before the Hateful 8,9, or is it 19? start kicking off like a load of jealous teenagers. City will have this in hand and we will be compliant - but that doesn't mean there won't be noise, it doesn't mean there wont be made up stories and allegations and calls for investigations and bans etc.... its just a pity that us blues cant stick together a bit more and enjoy this and be confident in those that steer the ship that we are honest, respect the law and comply with the rules...

All so true. Everything we do is under a microscope - unlike rags & Chelski etc. But City know this

I didn't expect you to like Fosters so much.

This all day long - everything being done behind closed doors, nothing coming out in public. They will have a playbook that covers every potential twist and turn.

If this is serious Barca are not going to know what’s happening to them

I’m a sucker for it.
