Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[McfcBibby]

The longer this goes on, the more convinced I am that this’ll happen. All the signs are there, no contract renewal, silence from the city camp and Pep constantly talking about the “player with personality” to win games by themselves and score every penalty

I reckon this was all sorted last summer, but because of the Barca situation we have had to be patient little bit like Sanchez. I also think Aguero will sign a new contract and the two will form one of the most lethal partnerships ever seen in PL (Pure speculation on my account by the way)

FWIW I think he stays with Barca and Aguero joins him in the summer. I hope it’s the other way round but not convinced.

Still don't want Messi?

We'd f***ing with the lot with him and this City team.

If there’s any **** still thinking Messi wouldn’t be the best player in our side having watched his performance yesterday then they don’t deserve to watch football as they simply don’t understand it.

Pressing with two pedestrians up front? Not gonna happen I'm afraid. If Messi comes, the need for a new forward that can both score and press hard to compensate for Messi's low workrate would become even more urgent

I've never come across anyone on this forum saying Messi would not be the best player in our side.
I've never seen anyone saying that DeBruyne, Aguero ,Sterling etc. would be better in our team than Messi should he ever arrive.

We’d have one of the most technically gifted teams of all time if he does sign. Imagine seeing Bernardo, Cancelo and Messi all working together on the right side. Get the ball off them if you can.

Last summer was THE time to get him. Now with Sergio probably leaving, I don't think he'll come.

Maybe its better for us. Buying players who are "close to retiring" wouldn't benefit us in the long run.

I think we also have half an eye on the "short run" as well.

Then you’ve not been reading this thread.

Yes please and just in time for crowds back in the ground.

Takes the club commercially onto a different level once again and he will score 30 a season in a team like ours virtually guaranteeing us success.
