Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

Unlikely & I think the speculation is more Martinez goes to Barca & Messi to Inter which may soften the blow to the Barca natives.

booooo!!!!!! ;-)

I’d rather have him for free in a year, than north of 100m now

Or, sign him now for a £100m and generate £150m if income in the next 12 months. ;-)

Imagine if we sign him and no one can go to the ground to actually watch him play.

We will never know how good he actually is :)

Will save me from scrapping with the fella behind me after Messi misses a shot or missplaces a pass and all I hear is "FFS Messi"

Hahaha I can hear them now “I thought he was meant to be good“

If the financial projections support that, but I am not sure you have included his wages?

This whole "I'm more outside the club than in" is a clear indication he isn't serious about leaving and it's just the same recycled panto

None of those opinions sway me tbh.

And re Pep & tactics, I think he's got a few months to adapt or it's all over for him, the players will stop rating him & he will leave.

His team & tactics v Lyon was one of the biggest fuckups I've ever seen & imo wouldn't finish top 6 if repeated regularly during the season & was imo a result of him having no idea how to solve the problem.

If that happened & we'd just signed Messi, I think it would be a disaster.

He'd be great to watch, but it's a gamble we don't need imo.

The Messi family have Italian passports, and Italy recently introduced big tax breaks for Italians overseas to move to Italy. Apparently he and his father have both bought property in Milan very recently as well.

Ah I didn't know that. Well, that would make sense then. One last big payday.

Starting to have the same feeling as with the long running Ronaldinho saga.

Just wish the transfer window was over already tbh, I hate all this waiting around on rumours every summer.
