Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[doobyedoobye]

Bartomeu is seriously damaging the Barca brand

 

[FCBarca]

If there is any chance of a free transfer this summer through that option in the contract I want Messi & his lawyers to 100% try that route in the interest of City financials.

That is more important than the interest of Barca, and the separation of Messi and any relations they might want to salvage.

None

Didn't they have a 3 hour long telephone conversation the other day, surely it would have been discussed then

Also, the club have clearly briefed journos such as Jack Gaughan, sky news etc. Regarding the phone call + our key players not for sale etc . They haven't denied their interest.

So if Pep wanted to tell to stay at barca, then it wouldn't drag till this stage.

 

[Neville Kneville]

To be fair he must be a very rich clown

I don't think they get paid that much. Someone ask Phil Jones.

 

[DMA's]

If Barcelona are more than just a club then why don't they let their greatest ever player, and long time servent, go with their blessing. Imagine us doing this to David Silva or Aguero.

I’m not so sure we would be happy if aguero or David Silva where going to a direct rival in champs league tbh.

And Paris is a ray of fucking Sunshine.

last time i looked it wasn't on the Mediterranean,and pissed down there just as much as it does in Manchester.

Thats when it is not lit up most nights like a leaking Gas main by warring Gangs with all sorts of grievances.

He s a fucking peach that French bloke. What a knob head.

 

[razman]

None

Of course, city have to look at their interest. It's at a stage, where even the stubborn Barto should realize keep Messi, and u have a potentially underperforming / definitely unhappy player on a very heavy package

Unless of course Barto doesn't care and its all politics and PR

OT: But Paris is a magnificent city

It is but it has some very seedy and dangerous areas which have got worse over the last few years.

 

[SWP's back]

I'd be concerned about him running a bath tbh.

Haha. Tickled me that.

 

[citymad]

Didn't they have a 3 hour long telephone conversation the other day, surely it would have been discussed then

Not sure they would've had time between catching up on what's been going on with Corrie Street and Emmerdale Farm.

 

[FCBarca]

It is but it has some very seedy and dangerous areas which have got worse over the last few years.

It's dirty in many places too, no question. Not a place I would like to live but like NYC, a place I love to visit - theater, music, food, hidden neighborhoods. And a great city at night, more so than NYC for me

 

[Marvin]

One of these threads wouldn’t be complete without a pile-in on @Marvin for declaring that our putative target is too old.

I live to fight another day!

 

[SWP's back]

What a truly terrible take. Marvin your posts over the last two pages are an embarrassment.

...even by his standards.

 

[Astrozombie]

OT: But Paris is a magnificent city

Not really. Been shit since early 2000s and only gets worse and worse each year.

 

[SWP's back]

OT: But Paris is a magnificent city

It’s very much a shit hole.

 

[The perfect fumble]

It’s very much a shit hole.

Give me Mancunians over Parisians any day.

 

[FCBarca]

Give me Mancunians over Parisians any day.

Only talking about the city, even most of France don't like Parisians

 

[oggy 79]

Whats the latest or is it as you were

 

[hazmcfc]

All these journalists pulling the City shouldn't sign Messi card when they would eat shit to interview him if he gets here is hilarious.

 

[Marvin]

That's not necessarily true though is it.
Take the PSG years (the last 3).

He played 30 - 28 - 27 games respectively.
No doubt you will claim the 3 games he missed last season were all guaranteed hat tricks.

The downward trend in Neymar's goal output is the product of injury (ankle, and foot) plus the suspension of the French league due to Covid.
