Merchandise, TV money, influence, social media. Its why utd stick with Pogba, he's a money making machine.

Do you admire them for it? Do you think they have a healthier club ethos than us?

I am not knocking his ability but I don't think signing him would be the wisest of choices.

I'm just surprised by the reaction by some. I suppose we can all have our own thoughts on different players mate.

It's the modern way mate. I don't really like a lot about the modern game, but it's in my blood.

But we’ve achieved plenty without (comparatively speaking) selling our souls to the devil. Yes, we’re wadded and we know it but, by and large, I like our values more than certain other clubs I could mention.

Unbelievable haha

But true. You are too narrow minded mate. Think bigger picture to see how the club operate.

Can you imagine? Liverpool's big signing is a Greek full back no one's heard of and ours is Messi. Worth it for that alone.

Tsimikas is very good and someone we should have signed

If Messi wants the move, we're taking him.
Absolutely no way the club or pep would turn him down.

We have spent years building up to where we are, we will not ruin it on a short sighted signing. The risk is too high.

Not sure the club would look at it that way but you may be right mate. We all have our own opinions, I'm just a little bit shocked at people's opinions on the greatest player to ever lace up some boots.

Messi is (in my opinion) the best footballer that has ever lived. I just don’t see how either City or Messi benefit in this move. The press would slaughter both us and him. It would upset the equilibrium of our club’s dressing room too. Sign Messi, potentially lose KDB. We suit signing players that potentially could be the next Messi, not the ageing, diminishing star.
It would boil some piss though.

I think the dressing room would welcome the chance to play with the greatest player to ever live. Also I don't think KDB is someone who demands a move for a few extra quid.

I also think overall the press would be grateful that someone was able to bring Messi to the PL (not that we should care either way)

The club would benefit massively in terms of £££ from having Messi

Personally I'd pay him whatever budget we had available. It'll be worth it to know the best ever was a City player. In fact it'd be worth it just to bring back "Feed the GOAT"

Of course this is all a waste of bandwidth...
