Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

There is a chance, but as Deep Pan (Chicago) is also asking, it does involve Garcia.

We have zero intention of paying anything for Messi.

Garcia also being out of contract next summer means we don't have maximum leverage, but it is certainly being proposed.

As things stand, Messi and Barcelona now want to control a fitting goodbye, whether it's a long one, I think is open to debate.

Getting his seven months wages off the payroll and whatever other bonuses he is entitled to must be a consideration alongside the acquisition of Garcia in Jan.

Perhaps if Barca don't make it out of Champs League group, it will be decided anyhow.

They certainly ain't winning La Liga.

I could understand the fitting goodbye for Barca & Messi if the fans were allowed to attend games for them to say goodbye to him. But facts are that likely won't be happening this season. It strikes me that Messi wants out now with his most recent quotes, hopefully we can sort something out to get him in the door in January, even Garcia and a low fee should push it over the line considering Barca will owe Messi a fortune if he sees his contract out there this season. Seems the only option for everyone to me is to let him go in January, especially now Bartomeu is out of the picture.

You're welcome. I will also accept your apologies - you people know who you are ;)

I had this perfect dream
-Un sueño me envolvió
This dream was me and you
-Tal vez estás aquí
I want all the world to see
-Un instinto me guiaba
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
Now my dream is slowly coming true

The wind is a gentle breeze
-Él me habló de ti
The bells are ringing out
-El canto vuela
They're calling us together
Guiding us forever
Wish my dream would never go away

Barcelona - It was the first time that we met
Barcelona - How can I forget
The moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away
Barcelona - La musica vibró
Barcelona - Y ella nos unió
And if God willing we will meet again, someday

Let the songs begin
-Déjalo nacer
Let the music play
-Ahhhhhhhh...
Make the voices sing
-Nace un gran amor
Start the celebration
-Ven a mi
And cry
-Grita
Come alive
-Vive
And shake the foundations from the skies
Ah, Ah, Shaking all our lives

What a tune lad!

No way it works without Garcia going the other way, payments to Messi Snr will make it feel like a transfer fee however, but I think (opinion only) there will be a token fee to Barca too as a face saver.

And I hear domino two starting to fall too

Things are taking shape.

Pep signs the extension and talks of unfinished business ie the CL.

Should Messi sign imo he would be used as that "extra something" in the bigger CL games, probably as a 2nd half sub.

You can just imagine it. Its 0-0 v Bayern in the final. A cagey affair where the door needs unlocking. Messi nips on on 75 minutes, sprinkles a bit of rock n roll, dances past 3 challenges and dinks it over Nueur to send us into ecstasy.

Haha, you think Messi would come to City to be on the bench?!?

Yeah, I can imagine he’s on the bench .

he’ll have more power than El Chapo if he signs, not a prayer he sits out, however, Barca don’t have our defence, we can afford his luxury with the amount of chances he’ll eat up!

 

[HelloCity]

Yeah Aguero and Messi would be getting on but we’d have Jesus, Torres, Sterling, Bernardo & Foden all available to us as well. All of them are at an absolutely brilliant age to compliment them in the squad. Who knows,Torres could even end up being a prolific centre forward.

What would be domino two that's starting to fall?

He'd be coming to help us bridge that gap between CL last 8 to CL winners.

That's it.

He'd have 1-2 seasons to do it.

At 34/35 he wouldn't be turning out against the Burnleys, Fulhams, Marseilles and CSKAs of the game.

He'd be used strategically and to make maximum impact where it counts, not to score the 6th in a 6-0 pumping of West Brom in a League Cup game.

Use your fucking head mate.
