A Messi deal maybe unsustainable given City's current revenues but the Messi deal will be transformative. One can only talk in generality at the moment.

I think most of your fellow utd/liverpool fans hope for the same to.Can’t help but think this will end up with a new contract for messi at Barca

Is he lying on his left or right sideJorge has checked into a hotel and is currently asleep. The meeting will likely take place tomorrow.
IF he was to back out of a move and resign for Barca, his credibility would plummet.If they can't really work out a solution he will obviously renew.
If there is one question mark against Messi it's could he do it somewhere else?
He has flattered with Argentina.
If he does come to us, and is successful in the Premier at 33, he can be rightly called the greatest ever.

It still feels surreal. So surreal that I’m half expecting something to go wrong. If we get through this week with it still very much on, then it’s an inevitability imo.Just excited.

He talked a great amount of sense on the legalities of the CAS case but I don't think I have agreed with much of what I've read regarding his thoughts on football and most certainly not football finances.I didn’t see everything that was posted about this last night but I was surprised to see @projectriver getting involved. Make no mistake, his legal insight into our appeal at CAS was an invaluable source of info for many City fans and gave us some reassurance that we would prevail, and a lot of it panned out the way he thought it would.
However, I would respectfully disagree with him that City signing Messi would automatically see us back up before the beak and that this time UEFA won’t “fuck up” the investigation. Firstly, signing Messi doesn’t somehow mean that we fail FFP. If the club feel we can do the deal and stay within the parameters of FFP and we indeed do so while doing everything above board then we won’t be getting punished for breaching FFP because there will be nothing to punish us for. Secondly, while it could be claimed that UEFA fucked up parts of the last investigation, the fact is that once it got to CAS it turned out that they had little of note on us and what they did have was easily debunked so the investigation should never have gotten as far as it did anyway.
As you say, there will be a lot of noise from certain quarters if this goes through but they will need a lot more than noise to bring us down because I doubt that UEFA would have the stomach to go through all this again unless we had actually indeed breached FFP this time

Can’t help but laugh. This guy is fast becoming as big a nob head as Jim White. Just compare and contrast the excitement as he speaks about United’s next possible purchase and compare it to how the potential signing of Messi is being portrayed.
Just complete propaganda.
