Messi won’t leave. He’s just trying to get Bartomeu out.

This the last year of the Etihad deal as well.

The ultimate sponsorship proposal isn't it?

How would you like to have the most famous sportsman on the planet have your brand plastered all over him every week and feature in your commercials etc?

 

[razman]

Ahh the politics

 

[Neville Kneville]

All for a pay rise I reckon

' Jogs back to Koulibaly thread '

I give it a week before he signs a new, improved contract there.

Think about this scenario ...

Messi signs for United , are you gutted or think we have dodged a bullet ?

Assuming he doesn't agree to play for them for free because he grew up in Salford with a photo of Ralph Milne on his wall, I'd be laughing. He'd have a 5 year deal on £1m a week and by about October we'd all realise his legs had gone and they'd be trying to loan him to an Italian team in January.

Five years ago yes, but a 33 year old who's been playing top flight football for 16 years? No thanks

Yup, all political.. Back to koulibaly thread

If Messi is the answer, WTF is a question?

what present should the club buy our manager to cheer him up as he was down after last nights loss?

 

[manimanc]

Messi

I meant the team mentioned.

 

[FCBarca]

I give it a week before he signs a new, improved contract there.

No chance of that but in particular it fails to appreciate that this is not a negotiating tactic on salary but on regime change. Line in the sand moment
