What have crabs got to do with this ?

Because it’s a barmacle!

Alas, beaten to the gag again.

No yours was slightly different.

I get what you're saying but when Pep managed Messi he was a model professional and a great teammate - it helps winning most of the time to be fair - Regarding Kev, I believe Kev wants to win everything and finish his own career as a multiple CL winner so he would know signing Messi would help achieve that so would be happy.

Say we do pull this off I can see it only being a 2 year deal and I could see Pep also extending an extra year. Either way it would be worth the risk because even at 33 his presence alone would create space and opportunities for others to shine - he also looks to have natural fitness and plays most games. Very exciting times, just imagine how signing him could impact the likes of Torres and Foden.

Foden is possibly bashing one out as I type this.

What’s happening with the transfer window this season, is it extended?

Where are all these Spanish sources talking about PSG that you lot are mentioning on here? All of the credible tier 1 Catalan sources are saying City

rumour is Pep has agreed to a 2 year extension so 3 season from this point. Messi is after a 3 year deal according to some reports so.... I’ve no doubt Messi signing would bring positives and not all negatives but I do question which outweighs the other? It’s a huge risk but can understand why any club would be daft not to sign him if they can. Just see us baulking at the money involved and PSG waltzing in and just paying it. Although I think any other club would need to shift players to accommodate the money it’d take, we don't have that issue.

Plenty of time then, but not sure if I can deal with a month and a half’s speculation about this, my head is spinning already!

Yeah but not for those reasons, it'll be because he caught a nice fish.

I think if this is genuinely viable then it’d be wrapped up very quickly. No buying club would want time to lapse giving others the chance to raise the funds and gazump the deal.
