Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

actually, there is something in your word

Eh?

It would be quite funny to watch the meltdown in the media if we managed to win the treble this season & then Messi was signed the day after the chumps league final :-)

I do wonder if he'll stay in Europe. I actually reckon he's off to Saudi Arabia next.

Don’t want him. Yeah, laugh at me but I don’t. He alters the dynamic and we have it good right now. Would be our version of Utd signing Ronaldo. He’d also destroy the wage structure. In the past, sure, but not now. Saudi Arabia for Messi.

Not a good end to a highly successful career but PSG are in a mess at the minute and you can't completely blame him for what he had done.

Sounds like it. £400m for ONE SEASON though??? WTAF! The world's gone fuckin mad! \0/

Any fucker daft enough to even think we may be interested in him please go and see Matron, as you need your fucking bumps feeling plus your medication.

I wanted Messi on City when he signed with PSG. I actually think it could have happened if City hadn't signed Grealish a couple of days prior.

Now, I don't think it's a good move for either side. If City wins the treble, there's nothing to gain for Messi. Anything other than winning every single trophy available would be seen as a let down.

And on City's perspective, they need to accomodate a lot of things to make Messi comfortable. At this stage of his career you need to build the team around not giving Messi the slightest of defensive obligations. If you provide that defensive liberty, with the ball on his feet Messi is still, by far, the best player in the World. Nobody can create a chance out of thin air like him. But is it worth it? City is fine as it is and I don't think it's worth it to mess with team chemistry by accomodating an outsider in the wrong end of 35.

The GOAT does look good on baby blue, though.

Maybe if City falls short on the CL again, there might be a case for him joining the team.

As soon as I saw the story about him and psg today I knew some daft fucker would bump it and start planning their Messi tattoos.

I don't think he fits in City, but make no mistake about it, just about every other team in Europe would benefit greatly from having the GOAT on its squad.

There's this perception that Messi is doing bad at Paris because the team sucks, but he has arguably been their best player. Mbappe, the suppossed best player in the World, is 10 years younger and hasn't been able to perfrom better than Messi on that dysfunctional team.
