PSG want him. I can see why PSG is attractive to him. Money. CL football, and that side is very strong so he can win titles there and in many games they can do a Barca and overwhelm weaker league opponents despite carrying him.

Messi at City would get absolutely destroyed at places like Anfield. It would be humiliating. The first priority of modern club football is that you are physically able to put in the km and close your opponent down off the ball. Messi operates by conserving his energy so that he hovers waiting for the ball. He doesn't close people down.

Marketing extravaganza, footballing disaster. Stay well clear.
Exactly what people said of David Silva (physicality). It's insane how you actually think that Messi would be a liability and his best days are behind him. He is still the best footballer out there and he is winning the Ballon D'Or this season as well. You are making him sound like Mata. Even without the whole marketing side to him, he is a better footballer at 34 than any of our players. Also Messi has time and again done it versus physical sides from England or elsewhere. You don't need to be a Nigel De Jong to play and succeed in the PL.
 
And the more I contemplate it, the less worth it the hassle seems. At his age, & with where City are at, he's not our future, he would merely be the cherry on top.

£100m per year in wages is fuckin crazy! :-|
And a glazed slightly damaged cherry at that, with the stage this club is now at, we want a shiny , fresh , new cherry at the very top.
