Messi.....

A music video and a proliferation of animated gifs would perhaps reduce some of the scepticism as to the veracity of this rumour.

I see he feigned illness today & missed the game, to avoid questions about the rumours on bluemoon.

Sunday Mirror exclusive with Simon Mullock renewing the rumours.

Still don't believe it will happen but it's probably the strongest the rumour has been.

£120 million deal c/w £800k wages. This is what I was told, not getting into any arguments on here as I've learnt not too. We shall see come January.

Kas I don't dispute your info,apart from the January bit .. no chance

I think Messi is the best player in the world without a doubt but even I wouldn't spend that much on a player who will be 30 by then.

Exploded oh my God it's happening

Age will be the only worry but if your going to spend that much then putting it on arguably the best player of all time reduces that risk. A couple of good years, league title/champions league title and the spend would be justified. Add to that seeing Messi in a City shirt would be an unbelievable sight.

The thing with Messi is that he'll be better than Silva was in his prime when he's 35 if he has to become that sort of player.

Even without his pace his finishing and passing is top notch.

I think the marketing and endorsements he'd bring to City would offset any transfer fee and then some. He's the best player of all time and it probably wouldn't cost us anything in the grand scheme if we paid 300m.

Still don't see it happening, but hard not to get excited about the thought.

If messi signs in January I might explode more than @BluePhil8 did when trump won the election
