Good good. bring it on. Although it's very very unlikely he'd sign for us I feel. But no harm in trying. If they want us to ruin football by signing the world's best players then I guess we'll just have to oblige.
Stuck in work, so feel free to post updates as they happen. I need a good story ;)
*edit*
OS was quick to quash that one!
MANCHESTER CITY Football Club note with interest the reports circulating in the Spanish media that the club has made an offer to the Barcelona player Lionel Messi and that he has turned down the chance to join the club.
While acknowledging that Lionel Messi is a world-class player of the highest calibre, Manchester City would like to make it clear that the club has at no time made an approach to Mr Messi or his representatives.
mid this Messi staying, and we’re just letting the world know we never made an approach?
