And?
Would KDB not walk into your team?
And with all due respect the standard of La Liga is poor.
Real and Barca are very ordinary by their standards , yet still hammer most of the teams around them with ease.

They’d try to do it if they think it would work financially with extra sponsors, world exposure, shirt sales etc. It would be a unique deal wouldn’t it? So it would not make any difference to our plans to sign another centre back etc. Some people who are against this seem to think the 300m that Messi might cost could otherwise be spent elsewhere but that won’t be the case.
We just might get to watch the greatest player ever linking up with KDB,Aguero and Foden etc.

Does that show how many times he just jogs about or how often opposing sides play through his position because he's missing ?
No one is saying he's not a fantastic player but you have to build a side around him to do his work for him and i'm not sure doing that for a 33 year old is a great thing for City to do.
I understand that, but if we have that sort of money available for special one off opportunities, I would like to see it spent on players who will be around longer than a couple of seasons, Mbappe would be the one for me, young, outstanding talent, and who's value is only going to increase.
Would I like to see Messi here? You would be an idiot not to. But I don't think signing him now is good and like I said before, he would only be joining us because he is pissed with the President of the club he loves.

Messi money is Messi money only, it isn't available for any other player. That is why ,as Tolmie explained buying Messi is outside any other transfer business.
LOL so the "Messi money" could not become "Mbappe money" if the latter was available?

People still banging on about the money, its been said I dont know how many times that this money is for Messi and Messi alone. Mbappe is clearly not on the table and probably never will be so why waste your time writing it.
This is a once in a lifetime deal, ADUG I imagine are very keen to get this done for all of the commercial aspects and on the pitch he would take us to a new level.

No.
OK , so if Messi stays, or we decide the deal is not right, what happens to the "Messi" money?
If Messi was stationed in Mahrez's position wide right our opponents would be way more worried to the extent they'd have an extra man on him. We'd have an overload somewhere else on the pitch.
I agree we'd have to adjust a bit to accommodate him but he'd cause havoc and all our attacking players would be in more space.
