Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[St.Pauli support]

So what now?
We sign Messi on Monday,
FIFA send an ITC saying the fuckin season ended on 23 August
and Messi is clearly out of contract, no prob,
Barca sue City at FIFA and we are happy to go that route, again.
Messi won't go to courtlike he said, we do.


Nah.

Really? I think you're under-estimating how good this lad could be

I think you are over estimating

 

[Bodicoteblue]

I don’t think it’s over but dont see Barça dealing with us, nor do I see us paying anything near what they’d want. I think he’ll leave but think PSG are possibly the more likely destination when it comes to the money expected.

Yeah but i think Messi wants to play for pep and the other familiar faces at City, and anyway Barça can’t dictate to him where he goes to. They can’t stop the player going where he wants.

I agree, don't understand how people cannot see how good he is now and how better he is going to get, he is comparable with Messi at the same age.

Even Pep couldn’t leave him out if he was half as good as Messi. Great player but not potentially the best ever!

Said it before, but does a loan make sense? He doesn't want to be there, Barca probably are wary of him being there, fling him to us for a year. Family don't have to move, he goes back when Barca have new board, we get our best shot at the CL and a year of Messi in a City shirt.

If he does well we can look at a freebie too for next year.

All I'm saying is that you're not exactly painting the full picture.

It's more akin to scrawling on a cell wall in shit, to be honest

Living in the past about what messi has done is fine, I will leave that for you. City will be looking to to the future as Khaldoon recently expressed very admirably Foden is an important part of that future.
I cannot understand how messi's past is of any benefit or concern to us as fans or City as a club.
If he signed none of his past achievements would help us win a single trophy.
I am as happy about him not coming to City as I was when CAS completely exonerated our club.
Clearly many , including you were very "excited" about a prospect which City actually didn't acknowledge and would have been all about an individual not a team.

Chill everyone he’s just doing a Delph

What, shit himself !

I mean it's not, is it? The only thing that would really end this is a contract renewal and I doubt that will be happening over the next month.

That being said, the only way this goes further is if we lodge a bid and I think it would have to be astronomical for Barca to accept.

The fact he’s staying without extending tells you everything.

My honest guess would be that his father/lawyers have said something like we believe you should be on a free but if it goes to court it would be 50/50.
