Who says he's in Barcelona?If Pep had to self-isolate for two weeks when he got back from Barcelona...
He wouldn't be in Barcelona. It really is that simple. He starts work at the Etihad in a couple of days.

At the time of the transfers Neymar and Mbappe were better players. Messi is the best player ever but not now. He is regarded with awe but those who argued that his decline was imminent were right. We have seen that decline, however he's still a great player and the players transfer request makes a deal feasible.Nah , not having that one bit.
This deal will eclipse all other transfers by a country mile In terms of business.
The cash generated around the greatest player in the history of this wonderful game is worthy of our huge investment , should it be realised.

The deal is also attractive for the economic and feel good factor associated with it. It would be a mission for every City player and fan for City to win trophies for Messi. It would entirely change the perception of our club across the world. The media, Klopp etc emphasise the cost but they forget that it works for barcelona in terms of revenue generation, and they don't have international clubs like the City Football Group.
Thread. Not much new really.
I’d imagine a quick ‘you sure you want to do this’ followed by an even quicker ‘si’ and then they’ll be moving condiments about discussing formations!
You don't half chat a whole load of shit Marv.
Lionel Messi is still the best player in the world by a considerable distance, and everyone who watches him regularly knows it.
Chatting shit about how "we have seen his decline" as he comes off a season where he broke the La Liga assist record and scored 26 league goals - becoming only the second person ever to get 20 goals and 20 assists in one season in the top 4 leagues is just fucking embarrassing.

May I ask if there is any info on who goes out because of Messi coming in? Surely there is a shortage of foreign spots and so far we haven't made sales of Otamendi, Zinchenko or whoever else is taking up an extra spot.
Ferran filled up David's spot, Aké is home grown, Bravo's spot probably going to Steffen, is it Sané's spot? But also Koulibaly could be coming.

I'd take Mbappe, Salah, Neymar ahead of Messi at the moment. Messi has declined. You can see that clearly in his gals return in La Liga. Is he still a great player yes, but undoubtedly he is not as effective as he was.You don't half chat a whole load of shit Marv.

Why would Couto take up a spot he’s 18?sales will be made. We have lpst silva bravo and sane, freeing up 3 spaces.
Brought in torres, steffen and ake (he is home grown but takes a slot anyway, for now, as we already have 4 HG incl.Carson). Couto also takes up a slot if he stays with the first team.
So a few will need to leave, for messi and a defender to come in. Garcia and angelino leaving make no difference to that.
Tolmie says in the other thread he will have an update this afternoon
