Went to Paris instead of Welcome to Messi Manchester

[PrezIke]

Still can't believe this story.

And here's some more

[PrezIke]

Lots of bullshit speculation out there but a Catalan media source reportedly saying Pep and Messi spoke on the phone 2 days ago .........

Some perhaps, but the primary stories out there are quite real mate.

Messi wants out & wants to join City are being reported by even the likes of Sid Lowe.

We’ve all fuckin asked for Pep to remain as manager It’s on him!

[littlebig]

Yes his best years are behind him but he could still tear up the league, a frightening prospect for our rivals.

I’m a bit nervous about our change in policy of buying young players and not breaking our wage structure. Would also be concerned about squad being gutted to fit in the phenomenon that is Messi.

On the commercial side this could push us to a next level which could be potentially more attractive than the football / trophies side of things. Also the raising of prestige worldwide could be a tectonic shift.

All in all I would say go for it if he is willing.

That said I won’t be surprised if he works it out to stay at Barca.

Sometimes you have to make exceptions, and Messi is a once in a lifetime exception

And think of this - he rarely gets injured or misses games and he’s often kicked to shit each week .

Would you guys be happy to see Jesus, Bernardo, and/or Garcia go in order to get Messi for 2-3 seasons?

No. Garcia? Sure.

[dazby]

Imagine how this would impact how Sky projects City. Would we remain the bad guys? I seriously doubt it.

Could be great for the long term perception of the club.

[PeterParker]

Did anyone see the fat argie at Greggs yet?

[PeterParker]

Would you guys be happy to see Jesus, Bernardo, and/or Garcia go in order to get Messi for 2-3 seasons?

As things are moving on, might not be the case.
But yeah, I would swap Jesus with Messi at any time and hour.

We are on the point (long point) on getting one of the best players that ever were in this game. And most of all, a player that has something to point.

[Chopper]

Hope MLS doesn’t lure him away

[ruralblue]

Soon as he sinks his teeth into a Gregg's Sausage, bean and Cheese Bake he will have no regrets.

I'll gladly take him for two seasons, his wages will take care if themselves in revenue and sponsorship. Cannot see if troubling the wage structure as they will know it's not every day you get to play alongside the best in the world.

Why the fuck would Gabs want to go there? Different story if we are actively trying to sell hum

[blues2win]

The Chairman said in his interview that normally the Club profile is for 20-5 year olds but they would be flexible if the right opportunity arose. We all thought he was talking about Koulibaly but looks like he had Messi in mind as well.

I would not like to see Bernardo going under any circumstances.

[blues2win]

If Messi leaves it wont be for nothing but it wont be anywhere near for 700 million either. Neither Messi nor Barca want this dragged out in the Courts. Of course a player exchange as part of a deal is possible. Garcia and Angelino definite possibilities. I wonder about Mahrez since he basically plays in Messi’s position.
