Yeah the two strikes and you are out stuff doesn't work with Messi. We went back for Laporte a second time, we can go back for Messi a third time. Also not sure how serious the 2016 talks were. Sam is only interpreting the situation from months back, which will have changed significantly an hour back.There is no way that we shouldn't be sniffing about. Messi wins you more than just matches. It gives you prominence and recognition. I'd argue that City would be chasing Messi more than they would Kane now.
He wants to play in the MLS and if he really wants an easy life there's always the BundesligaIf Abramovich isn't already working on a deal for Messi to go to Chelsea, he's not the oligarch I think he is.
London, Paris or Manchester.... which place has the greatest appeal?
Messi likes the easy life... French football will suit him down to the ground.
We need a departure for Kane, so whether Kane or Messi makes no difference as far as that goes.So we'd have to have a departure to bring Messi in anyway.
