Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[JoshH7611]

Their team is going off the rails. I've watched them in the Champions League over the last 2 seasons and that 8-2 defeat was coming. Their side needed overhauling. They tried to be fair but the expensive players they bought were not playing against bayern, indeed one was playing against them!

Against Bayern Munich I recall Vidal and Busqets playing alongside Messi. We know Messi doesn't run so it's suicidal to play Vidal and Busqets behind him. They must be as old as Messi. That should be a warning to City. I think City have got the running power in guys like Foden, De Bruyne and Bernardo so that does not really worry me. We are much better able to integrate Messi that Barcelona are. At the back they've got Pique and Alba too. In front of Messi that night there was Suarez and his speed has gone so it's clear that Barcelona's senior players have grown old and the renewal process has failed. They tried certainly. And the players they bought like Griezmann and Coutinho are top players. Perhaps this can be good for them because they can get more out of the squad they have?

I think City fans should be a little concerned about this. If we are to get the best out of Messi, we cannot just plonk him the side and hope it works. Thankfully we have Guardiola and industrious players like Foden, Jesus and Bernardo

Yeah, we are We are extremely worried we could have the best player ever in our starting 11 infront of KDB.

I don't think I'm over analyzing anything, simply wondering what makes his dad such an important figure in this saga. How could he be expected to solve anything that club, player, league representatives and lawyers don't? And if he is the key in this negotiations, why wasn't he involved from the beginning?

Because Lionel gets his Daddy to do everything for him. Tough life he has.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

You laugh but these are the moments you remember and look back on with a smile. As a forum it’s all about making daft memories

 

[lancs blue]

I bet he slept most of the flight so no jet lag, straight to business

I can never sleep on a plane, if he's like me the meeting will be tomorrow.

Newspaper to their columnist these days: pick any number between 500 Million to 1 Billion and we will report it as Messi transfer package

Never forget the Silva to United thread back in 2010 Classic.

I suspect the planes you travel on are a tad different to the one he and his boy use

He’s heard Deansgate on a Friday night is the place to be. Wants everything sorted so as not to spoil his welcome to Manchester party for his boy

 

[dcye]

If that had happened he would have been told "no" but then as he's been at the club for 20 years he may have twigged by now that Barca is a member-owned club not a limited company.

This post had me pissing myself hahaha

Did you see that thing? It looks like it would either rub your back and sing you lullabies or it would have high class sex workers on hand to pump you full of cocaine.

Either way, I reckon he's ready.

I'll have you know I've flown first class a couple of times, not when I was paying for it of course.

How often to get to lie flat on a plane? I’ve done it 5 times in my life and it’s now ruined normal flying for me for life.

fucking hell these journlalists, there's a global pandemic! let the man breathe

But you are patently talking shite. Why would receiving a small percentage of shares be worse than taking a higher salary (which would then destroy our wage structure) in terms of team morale?

No player puts in even close to his levels of goals and assists and we are talking about the greatest player to ever play the game of football. Morale will only go up if he signs, not down.

You haven't even come close to making a cogent point as to why it would be a bad idea yet. That is why everyone else seems to be simply ignoring your posts on the matter.

I can see why giving Messi shares in CFG is pretty prudent in the long term growth of the organisation. Look at Micheal Jordan, who became the first billionaire athlete long after he retired, having Messi assist in the growth of the North American and South American side of the CFG will be beneficial for him and City. What’s Messi’s potential earnings compared to Jordan’s in the future?

I read somewhere he was calling Tixi to pick him up as soon as he landed.

edit. sorry, a Taxi.
