The other day i asked weather this could be true and got slagged when just asking someones thought by Giles the voice (sir alan sugar) prick all i did was ask but it proves some of our so ccalled fans are full off shit but he does have an EMPIRE to run hahahahahahahahahahaha

you been on babelfish again? or just tennants extra strong?

By saying Messi isn't signing for City, I think that makes me more ITK than most so-called ITKs on here who seem to have a frightfully low success rate with their "insider knowledge".

by all means rush out and put money on this. i might. we'll probably win.

does that make us ITK in any way though? no, it just makes us better gamblers.

imagine this: you meet Garry Cook in a pub. or the groundsman in the story in the OP is actually Garry in groundsman drag. imagine, if you will, that this really happens, regardless of how absurd or surreal it sounds.

our saintly Garry hands YOU the Golden Napkin. it has all Garry's plans, targets, etc. he even tells you about a couple of done deals, but like most genie in a bottle stories there's a catch: the targets haven't actually signed on the dotted line yet, regardless of how much sunshine they've pumped up our saintly Garry's backside about how certain they are to join us. the net effect is this: even if you ARE Garry Cook, you're not "ITK" in the sense of being able to predict exactly who we'll sign, and if you're Cook you're very likely to be overconfident (if you're too much of a 'realist' you'd be in the wrong job, nobody does the impossible without believing they can and will).

so if Garry Cook, who has plenty of knowledge of our targets and presumably intimate knowledge of the state of all negotiations, isn't ITK in the sense of knowing exactly who we'll sign, well... who is? that depends.... do you believe in God?

so that, in effect, is why i think the type of attention whores* who attack ITKs (and even fake ITKs) so that they can look/feel clever are about as interesting as someone who jumps to his feet in a movie theater and reminds people that the stuff on screen is just a movie and not actually happening.


*not referring to you by this, LoveCity, i chose your post to launch my rant because both you and i are openly KFA, yet if City *is* targeting Messi i really do believe we have better odds of predicting the outcome than Garry Cook.

We've more chance of winning the boatrace, Ryder cup and Grand National than we have in signing Messi

Swalesie...

I don't mind at all, it's a punch-line to a very old joke, aka 'one and eight' in old money.

So after leaving the Balotelli thread where some dickhead is calling him gash and comparing him to Maccarone who was 2 divisions below him at his age I come across this gem.

Messi would flop in the premier league? PMSL. He scored 4 against arsenal but they aren't as good as chelsea so therefore he won't be able to score past blackpool and wba

Paul stop scratching your head mate, sabster has yet to make a sane post, he is after attention I think

I am sorry Silvestre was playing.

I don't have a magic ball but I have watched every game of Lionel's for the past 3 years andd he would struggle to make an impact in the prem IMO. Do you have a magic ball that says he will succeed? And by flop I mean not to Berbaflop's level but maybe 15-20 goals in a season

incredible to think that you have watched every Barcelona and Argentina home and away game for the last 3 years and still have time to follow City?

Because the matches are on at the same time.......

I was also told this last Sunday, I laughed out loud BUT this guy did tell me months before it happened that we were being bought by the arabs and going to be the richest club in the world, I laughed out loud at that one too!

poor post, you can read it from the man himself mr messi here...

lad is a consistant poster and always has something interesting to say. usually about cesc, rooney, or more recently oasis and tevez.. but no nothing about coming to city.

The lad clearly loves barca very much.. he doesnt rule out going to the premier league one day but has said numerous times Barca would have to force him out... and unless he shits in Sandro Rossells tapas wearing a real madrid shirt with Alcántara on the back .. i cant see that happening.. ever.

No being funny mate but <a class="postlink" href="http://twitter.com/OfficialMessi" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://twitter.com/OfficialMessi</a> is the official twitter
