Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

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.

I’m sorry mate, but you’re talking wet. A week before Anfield, Messi destroyed Liverpool single handedly. It’s not his fault his team bottled three goal lead.

cannot believe after all the hyoe last season about us signing messi when he was at Barca to suddenly not even making an attempt to get him when he isn’t even at a club well it’s just criminal .

ITK further up the thread has said we're talking to his camp. Until he signs for PSG it's all noise.

Really hope the comments about us not making an approach isn’t true.

From a competitive viewpoint I really don’t get how City could let PSG have a free run at signing him. As it stands we still don’t have a striker and this makes PSG ultimately much stronger despite who we end up with.

The Champs League is obviously the last jewel in the crown that Pep and the club are desperate for, so to just not be interested doesn’t make sense to me.

Last time PSG were considered a stronger opponent in CL we outclassed them over 2 legs. On 2 separate occasions. So yeah, we'll be fine.

another 6years of this.......the little guy could be playing into his 40s

Just wait for the Qatar won't sell to UAE discussions next year!

I think we would have talked to him already. Kane is probably still our main target and City have probably told Messi this.

 

[dublinblue12]

Didn't want him anyway

Why?

Are we not already one of the best club side's ever seen?

Are we not already a team full of high class international players.?

Our squad is the envy of the footballing world and that was even before Grealish and possibly Kane.

Is that not enough?

As I said in my post the CL is what Pep and the club are desperate for, and as things stand we still have no striker.

Last time PSG were considered a stronger opponent in CL we outclassed them over 2 legs. On 2 separate occasions. So yeah, we'll be fine.

We beat PSG without Messi so we’ll be fine beating them with Messi, not sure about your logic but appreciate the enthusiasm.
