Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[FCBarca]

Well, I still can't see him coming to City though I really want him to be Blue!

Blaugrana, through & through

Blaugrana, through & through

He is indeed, that doesn't mean he'll never leave though.

 

[FCBarca]

He is indeed, that doesn't mean he'll never leave though.

I didn't imply he'd never leave, only that he's already blau/blue

It'll be Barcelona and then Newell's

What if our summer transfer was Sanchez, Isco, Messi. We'll win games 10 goals to 9.

Contrary to popular believe, if that was our transfer we'd beats teams on talent. However getting Messi will negate the need for either Isco or Sanchez.

GK; Gunn moves up to #2 and Challenges Bravo. Was better than Pickford less than 2 years ago. The talent is there.

RB: Maffeo vs Dihno battle it out for starter

LB: Zichenko vs Delph battle it out for Starter

CB: Stones, Kolarov, Otamendi, Fernando (if Kompany retires, if not Kompany as #4).

MF: Messi at one of the 8 positions next to Debryune, Silva at DM, Gundogan and Garcia as backups

FW: Sane, Sterling on the wings, Jesus and Aguero at Striker. Nolito as 5 th forward.

The above team would win the league with probably the best defensive record.

They'll do so not by tackling but by demoralizing the opposition with superior footballing talent at every position and controlling the ball with ease in every area of the pitch.

We shouldn't show a lack of Imagination. For what it's worth. We could choose not to buy anyone this year and still win the league. We'll just lack depth.

Zichenko haven't start any game as a LB.

Zichenko haven't start any game as a LB.

I know. I'm projecting based on talent.

 

[Tevez City]

I know. I'm projecting based on talent.

Based on his talent, he cant get games for PSV now.

 

[Dax777]

Based on his talent, he cant get games for PSV now.

Bernado Silva couldn't get games at Benfica at 19 either. Zichenko's talent projects well to playing Left back at City. He is currently having a hard time breaking in at AM for PSV.

These are 2 unrelated scenarios

Dax is right, if we signed Messi it would negate the need for any other forwards to come in.
