Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[MarsLlama]

A moment of silence for all the fake City fan wums who were actually undercover from RedCafé who were gullible and stupid enough to think there was any chance Messi was staying at Barcelona. How wrong they were.

He has disgraced barcelona far more by doing this, than if he'd taken them to court. Spineless from him, embarrassing for them. He has turned Barcelona into a total fucking joke, with that statement. Love ir no love, he has fucked them, and himself bigtime

 

[Gray]

It's over.

Thank God for that, let’s get on with improving our squad.

 

[Corky]

It is called doing the copacabanana - South American star player pretends he is signing for City to get a better deal somewhere else. There is a pitfall as Robinho found out when his bluff was called by Real M and he was forced to sign for us- but Sanchez did it twice and Kaka used us to get his Madrid move. Said this days ago, and also that it would be a toxic signing if it did happen as the money is stupid and it would disrupt the whole squad.

Relieved now.

A gambler would lump on tonight that he still signs for us as it could make you a bit of money.

I'm not a gambler though, I just hope Pep knew this was coming when he spoke to him or he will feel like a complete idiot.

would much prefer if you just banned anyone who says “close the thread” from the transfer forum mate...they are a certain type ;-)

Ha, yeah it's a pet hate of mine.

not sure what more he can do. he's gone on strike, tried to terminate his contract, flown his agent over for talks. the only option he has left is the nuclear option - court. Which you can't expect him to do.

Maybe, but you also could expect him to do it if he for sure thought he'd win. That he won't tells me he doesn't think he will. It also tells me that the "I really, really want to leave" line might not be 100% genuine. Seems like maybe a ploy we've seen before, just at higher stakes.

Kill the thread, forget it ever happened...

His silence on all this was deafening and spoke volumes. The EXACT reason I said the other day, give his a deadline and leave him to it and push ahead with other priorities. I really do not like him on a human level. Another YaYa. Move on City and don't ever give him the time of day again.
