He looks like a enormous weight has lifted from his shoulders over the last month, maybe he has made his decision about next year?

Saw a bit of Sevilla vs Barca yesterday and Messi still has that burst of speed. Reading some posts here you would think he lost all of his pace.
If it’s true that signing Messi won’t effect our other transfer business like signing a striker, midfielder etc then its a no brainer to bring him in.

That sounds...amazing. Imagine telling stories years from now of watching games with those players? Imagine a game with all 8 of them at once?????No chance Aguero is going over to play in MLS at 32. Not when he’ll have the likes of Barca, Juve, PSG willing to give him 2 yrs.
I honestly think we could keep Messi, Haaland, Aguero and Jesus happy but would involve shipping out Mahrez and Messi sometimes playing from the right.
jesus/Sterling/foden can all play left side
Sterling/Foden/Bernardo/Messi can all play right side.
Id say that’s enough cover

I count 7? Presuming our normal setup, that's Eddie, Dias, Stones & Cancelo as well. Which of the 7 you name play LB and which DM?That sounds...amazing. Imagine telling stories years from now of watching games with those players? Imagine a game with all 8 of them at once?????

No he hasn't run harder it's just that the rest of the team seem to be more forgiving that he only ever walks.Anyone else think Leo has looked happier at Barcelona recently? Could be reading too much into things but he has ran harder and looked ecstatic to be scoring for them etc when he didn’t earlier in the season?

You clearly didn’t watch then.
If an English side signs Haaland, they win the next 3 or 4 titles at least. I want that side to be us.
Now if going after Messi means we miss the bus on Haaland, that would be criminal in my book. Even more so if Messi drags this whole saga out over the whole of the summer window, which I think he will, before miraculously mending bridges with Barcelona and agreeing a new deal there.
If we sign Haaland then nothing else matters and I’d be happy to go for Messi on top as, even though I personally don’t think it is a good idea, I’m not arrogant enough to think I know better than the club and signing Haaland, after winning the title so well this season would generate so much boiled piss amongst the hateful 8 and their media chums that it would make the next few months enjoyable and wonderful to behold.
From a footballing viewpoint signing the hottest young striker since Aguero - as Aguero comes to the end of his powers - must be the number one priority and as long as any pursuit of Messi does not interfere with that I’m all good.
I guess the ultimate fantasy is City win 3 or 4 trophies this season, announce a good few sponsorship deals over the summer and autumn, AND sign Messi and Haaland, thus sowing up England for the new few years as well as almost guaranteeing a couple of the next few Champs Leagues.
To be a fan or a member of the leadership teams at the red scum clubs would to be living a nightmare and I would love it.
Don't think it can drag out over the summer, not with Messi then ending up at Barcelona. His contract runs out in June. Either he signs a new one before that, or he's unemployed and signs elsewhere. I doubt he'd want to stretch it out.
Big claim on any English side with Haaland winnning the next 3 or 4 titles, bit of a stretch i would say.
Both would be magic. I just have a feeling Haaland might be a push, and with bug money and others competing, Messi reportedly 'wanting' to come might make that a more likely outcome.

For me anyone who is against the signing of Messi coming to city on a free transfer , the greatest to ever play the game and is still currently the best player in the world needs to give there head a wobble or is just on the wind up , they’ve got to be. He’d transform our club on and off the pitch. Who cares what he might or might not get paid leave that to the people in charge of the finances and lets just enjoy the privilege of watching him Light up the etihad week in week out with his magic and hopefully fans back in the stadium to see it
