Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[HelloCity]

Penny for his thoughts and other targets as we hopefully start to lift trophies over the next two months.

“It’s all about the Carabao Cup. Get me on the first flight to Manchester!”

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Also a reason why we should get our other deals done as early as possible.

Imagine if we could do Haaland/Grealish/Nuno/whoever a few days after the end of the season, and Messi sees all of that before he sits down to hear Laporta explain how they're signing Eric Garcia and Memphis Depay and how it can rejuvenate the squad.

To be fair, Garcia is a one-man team.

Certainly when it comes to conceding penalties, defending on the wrong side, running in treacle, being a physical danger to himself...

Barca as a competitive football club are finished for at least a decade and Garcia is a good fit.

Laporta is promising Haaland

Not financially possible

Well Laporta is a little liar then isn't he!

I doubt Barca are going to be able to afford Haaland but looking at the finances of the club that’s come out in the last few days they have budgeted to sign a big name player.
The banks know there’s less chance of them
Seeing the money back without Barca performing well on the pitch. So they will
Cut them some slack.

However I think haalands a step to far for them and Haaland will be looking at that team thinking it’s shit and it’s only getting worse especially when Messi’s goes.

Could be similar to the Messi talks though.
"This is our project"
"Bye"

Surely they could do that over the phone? Seems odd that they’ve both gone

Strikes me as typical showman Laporta move, Invite them over, make sure they are seen at the airport. Get it in the press.
Make the world see Barca are still a bit club going after top players.

I’m sure they could of spoke over Skype but il bet it’s Laporta that invited them.

City are going to have a lot of chances over the next two weeks to speak Haaland and his agent.
