Haha. Love you mate. I can’t quite believe that NOW he’s free. After everything we’ve done to try and get him previously. I also think it’s a bit harsh for Pep to be so down on him for not moving last summer. Barto was always going to make it hard.

Come on mate, there's no way we're not making the phone call. I know that Pep's camp and others will be saying no, I get that. But there's no way we leave a player who generated billions of Euros in his time at Barca and is the most popular player in world football ever who we have been chasing for a decade and decide we're not talking to him. That's madness. There's no way we're run that badly because he hurt our feelings.

Not saying we'll get him, but cannot believe we're not in for him. Heavily belief that City and others will brief we're not. But you know as well as I do that Messi is a once in a lifetime player and it would catapult the CFG's commercial interests into the stratosphere, especially with a New York backend. Soriano and Berrada have probably been walking round with a permanent hard on since they found out.
 
I just cannot see the numbers adding up for him. Just on wage bill alone.
He is a marketing dream. I just don't think we are the best at marketing and self promotion. (Grealish didn't even get a piano FFS!)
Then there is the age thing. No matter how good the player, age catches them all. Ronaldo is an exception due to his complete attention to body and health.

I think it all made sense last year. Now. i just think we have moved on and it would no longer work. Grealish and Kane is the way forward. Yesterdays announcement if just a tantalising distraction to our bright future.

I still think there is a chance he stays there.

Y’know what. When you put it like that. I agree. Let’s see what happens. But let’s also hope that we don’t drop the Kane ball and not get Leo again!
 
What kind of Messi would we get if we got him? 34, hasn’t changed clubs, countries or cities since he was a teenager, his head and heart elsewhere? He’d come up with a few memorable moments for sure, but is that good enough? And if Pep continued to treat him as a special case who didn’t need to obey instructions what effect would that have on the team’s work ethic? Can’t see it happening.
