Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[skillman]

Bartomeu played Messi like a violin. Now based on recent rumours messi is even agreeing to move to Miami which is a big fuck you to the CFG as well as I am sure we would have given him 1-2 year at new York City same way as Pirlo, Lampard, Villa...

We need need to look for the future superstars tho, get Mbappe and Haaland ad let Messi rot in Barca haha. Hope they win nothing next season and there will be bust up with Koeman too.

Shows how much these so-called gentlemen’s agreements actually mean doesn’t it?

Typical City that one of the best players ever is set on joining us and a worldwide pandemic delays a clause in his contract allowing it to happen then you add a bellend President into the mix too. Perfect.

I reckon Pep never wanted him at city more our owner did..

I would say there is a lot of truth in that.

Messi is Barcelona, always will be, get over it.

We are MCFC, we are the future.

Bump.

Any news?

A large passenger ship sank after hitting an iceberg.

Oh and some footballer extended his contract at Barça.

Thought he hates Koeman ? Thought he was one on the major factors in his initial decision to go

There’s never been a decision to go. Only posturing, using whatever lever comes to hand at the time.

He’s a consummate poker player who knows how to stay on the gravy train he helped to create.

Pep was never going to be seen publically as the one who took Messi from his beloved Barca. Messi would have to leave and then Pep and City roll out the red carpet to give "Messi a home for just one season and just £5 a month donation"

That way Barca take all the hit and Pep is seen as giving Messi the best send off to his footballing career.

If the club knew that pep would stop Messi from joining would they have still hired pep?

hypothetical question.

On the basis of my opinion that Pep is more valuable to City than Messi would’ve been, I’d plump for yep.
