Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

Not true, we have backed him all the way and at the last minute we pull out and leave him high and dry, we would be completely out of order.

It would damage the clubs reputation If we were in the same position anytime in the future.

A bit like Messi leaving us out to dry last year ?

He didn't emotionally destroy us @kaz7. That's a bit OTT. Hugely disappointed maybe, but he didn't turn us all into emotional wrecks.

The last bit was exactly us last summer lol, i am prone to exageration though !

He hasn't got too long to think about it or he'll be sat on his arse until January - or in money not earned terms ... about £8m.

In fairness, he's probably got £8m in his coin jars

 

[wolviedinho]

The whole Messi/Barca dance has concluded in a way that allows both parties to come out without blame. He was always leaving IMO. It has been staged managed to perfection.

 

[dobingsdobber]

Yes but people are using the line he's used us as a reason they don't want us to sign him, which as we don't know that's true, seems daft to me.

Fair point.However,would you agree that many people are convinced that this is the case and,believing this to be so,quite rightly register their opinion as to their opposition to signing him.

 

[bluemoon32]

Fcuk me, if you think we've boiled some piss with the Grealish transfer, wait and see what happens if we signed Messi

He hasn't got too long to think about it or he'll be sat on his arse until January - or in money not earned terms ... about £8m.

He is a free agent, so clubs can sign him anytime. The window doesn't apply now in this case. Though he would want to get this sorted to start playing since the league's are starting.

If I was City right now id say Levy here is 115m take it or leave it you have 48 hours to accept or reject. Gets rejected ? Cool

Messi hey here is a £115m signing on bonus + £300k wages you in? You have 48 hours to accept or reject. Then keep upping the figure until 1 accepts lol.

Why on earth would we pay Messi a £115m signing bonus ?

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Well, all I can say really is….crikey.

This is a 3 horse race.

PSG, City & Chelsea are the only clubs with the filthy moulah to afford him.

PSG have a weak league where he won't have to engage too much & Paris.
City have Guardiola and the most complete team out of the 3 (a chance to enjoy playing again, but the worst environment)
Chelsea are european champions and have London (both of which, weirdly, could count against them)
