Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[kupest]

So young girls have Lionel Messi on their bedroom walls? and not Grealish?>

Young girls outside England don't even know who Grealish is. Its a very small set of people you are talking about.

He does generate his own money.
To become the poster boy for football you have to be elite...Grealish isnt yet.
Every kid in the world that likes football know Messi around the world......you cannot say the same for Grealish.
And in terms of ability on the pitch........they are at completely different levels

At this time yes, but the likes of Grealish are the future.

And I still can't see how we could afford Grealish, Kane and Messi on the wage bill.

We would have to lose Bernardo, Sterling and probably one other.

It will be Messi. Messi is a singularity, he isn't bound by the regular laws of policy like any one else. If somebody thinks that we're going to turn down Lionel Messi in order to sign Harry Kane, I just don't know what to tell you. We've been chasing Messi for ten years. We've put three deals together for him. And now he's on the market we're acting like a spurned lover rather than a professional football club? I absolutely don't buy it.

To me that tells you all we need know. Chasing for ten years, and on the outside of it being used for a new contract each time. And here he is now at 34 without a club. His time to come here, for me, has been and gone. We seem to have pushed for Kane and he has responded to that positively. I feel it would be cruel to shelve him, making his situation poor at his club, just to sign someone who, as you say, has spurned us 3 times.

I think we would be weak to do that. Just my opinion, which by the tone of your message about the player I know you will 100% disagree with.

100m on wages for kane means we can cover his wages with that money....no purchase fee

So you would hang Kane out to dry? After he has basically gone on strike to join us?

It absolutely beggars belief for anybody to believe that Man City would not be in for Messi and I don't care what any journalist or ITK says about this. We are absolutely in for him. There's no possible way that the greatest and most marketable player in history comes up and we ignore him. No chance at all.

Half agree, depending on what you mean by in for him.

Would we look at it, absolutely. Would we choose to abandon an in progress big transfer where a player seems committed to the move to make it happen? doubt it. Would we push current players out to make room for him? don't think so.

Will be interesting.

As said, if Grealish is a success with us, they soon will, starting on Sunday

We would need to loose a couple of players to accomodate both Messi and Kane but only due to squad size - the wages bit.. don't worry - there will be some major companies falling overthemselves to throw money at us and Messi to be associated with him ;)

Agreed imo there's no room for Messi especially if we sign Kane which I think will happen.

And how many have we gained from Grealish and how many in the future?

Look at the abuse Grealish's girlfriend got this summer from other women, Grealish is a hot property, dare I say it and it is something I don't like but he is rapidly becoming Beckham MkII

Just stop please. Grealish is not the hot property you think he is. Messi is still the hottest property, not saying I want Messi though. Grealish is nothing outside England btw.

Grealish would have to have seasons like Messi has been having. Grealish is never going to be the GOAT. Messi has been doing it since he was 18 or so.
