[cleavers]

The media are now just making shit up!

No shit, they'd never do that.

Breaking News: No bid has been made for Messi.

Slow news day?

Breaking News: No bid has been made for Messi.

Slow news day?

Shit scared that were gonna be suing people who don't offer a retraction more like.

Good good. bring it on. Although it's very very unlikely he'd sign for us I feel. But no harm in trying. If they want us to ruin football by signing the world's best players then I guess we'll just have to oblige.

Stuck in work, so feel free to post updates as they happen. I need a good story ;)

*edit*

OS was quick to quash that one!


MANCHESTER CITY Football Club note with interest the reports circulating in the Spanish media that the club has made an offer to the Barcelona player Lionel Messi and that he has turned down the chance to join the club.

While acknowledging that Lionel Messi is a world-class player of the highest calibre, Manchester City would like to make it clear that the club has at no time made an approach to Mr Messi or his representatives.

...thats about right.

From what I gather the spanish paper who ran this story have already been warned, and any other media outlets who ran it as a story of their own have too...

Fact is City dont mind being in the news, but when its being association and reported as `another big name turns us down because we are City', thats when the legal team get involved...

No shit, they'd never do that.

I'm sayin compared to the Eto'o thing where we had actually been speaking to Barca.

The imagination of the media.

 

[DavidChubs]

Just a thought. Our statment says City 'has at no time made an approach to Mr Messi or his representatives'

It doesn't say that we haven't spoken to Barcelona about him.

 

[flb]

A quick response from the club,id say for FC Barcelona's benefit,Yaye Toure anybody?

 

[Balti]

oh god here we go

 

[bluetonium]

I think they should have added a big fat YET to the end of that statement.

City have also failed to deny that the club officially thinks Paul Scholes is a little prick, so there you go. Where's our yellow breaking news banner for that, Sky?

 

[Forzacitizens]

i feel the media have the potential to fuck up all our deals

You are aware Messi also plays for Barcelona, right?

 

[Ederson1000YardDrive]

Can't wait untill we actually buy somebody!

The media should be banned from making comments on transfers untill the window is actually open!

 

[BlueBoy85]

Well we have denied Messi but not Tevez.... does this mean we have bid for Tevez and might be getting him?

Yes but the whole City in talks with Barca thing is a number of weeks ago now, right?
