Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Joycee Banercheck]

MANCHESTER CITY Football Club note with interest the reports circulating in the Spanish media that the club has made an offer to the Barcelona player Lionel Messi and that he has turned down the chance to join the club.

While acknowledging that Lionel Messi is a world-class player of the highest calibre, Manchester City would like to make it clear that the club has at no time made an approach to Mr Messi or his representatives.

The media are now just making shit up!

There's a first ;o)

Re: Messi !

They need to be careful issuing denials cos if they don't issue a denial the press will say it must be true. They'll be issuing denials non stop throughout summer!

Re: Messi !

Don't let that stop the press-english or spanish from reporting it- I noticed The Telegraph reporting about Messi in the same article rehashed the story about us making a bid for Raul, which City just came out last week and said it was bullshit.

Re: Messi !

Sounds like the Tevez deal may be on then...

We haven't denied it yet!

 

[pulled off at HT]

Do you ever get the feeling the club are going to be doing quite a lot of this in the close season. The media storm will continue apace methinks....

Just noticed there's two threads about this. Sorry for repeating myself, but

"I noticed The Telegraph reporting about Messi in the same article rehashed the story about us making a bid for Raul, which City just came out last week and said it was bullshit."

I thought the Telegraph was supposed to be one of the "good" english papers.
