Like others, I'm not entirely convinced this is done either. If I look at it from Barca's point of view, surely they now know that Messi is going to negotiating a free transfer in January so are they really prepared to lose £100m and wages on an unsettled player?

I'm not really expecting it to work, but from City's point of view I think it's a shot to nothing. After all we were probably half expecting to make a bid of around £100m anyway?

It seems madness to bid for the player now when we could get him for free, but that would be in 12 months time, and there's no guarantee we would get him ahead of a PSG etc

No but we get the chance to see how he plays in 2020. I bet he'll still score 20 plus next season. Who guarantees that. I used to be the lone voice arguing against signing Messi cos I thought he was too old but this would be a free transfer.

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.

They can refuse any fee we make though.. I’d love him this window but I personally wouldn't want a Messi a year older as the commercial draw diminishes for me. It wouldn’t be as bigger pull to sponsors.

And the club, clearly. Unless you seriously think it's coincidence that Pep, Txiki and Soriano all rocked up in Barcelona last week? Not to mention all the trusted sources who said he wanted to come to us.

You're talking out of your arse mate but I've heard your bollocks enough to know you fancy yourself over any mind in football.

Your deluded shite would be laughed off more often if you didn't spend so long waffling towards your point so much that most people paying attention switched off halfway through.

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

Foden is the most talented young player I have seen but have you seen the debut goal Messi scored aged 19. I think it was against Levante. He ran from the half way line and beat player after player. 33 year old Messi doesn't score that goal
