Went to Paris instead of Welcome to Messi Manchester

[Saul Goodman]

Yes we all want Stones, Mendy, and Otamendi gone. B

You what?!

Ya know, I was going to put a parenthetical in there just for you but I ultimately decided not to. Guess i shouldve

[Saul Goodman]

Yall already hate new fans and tourists at matches....just wait if this happens

When talking about the Otter you need to make sure he’s referred to as one of the greatest ever mate

[blues2win]

A not inconsiderable possibility that Bartomeu is forced out or chooses to resign. Messi then stays.

[lovecity8utd]

Allegedly asked for a transfer ......

[City64]

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

[salford city]

Wants to exercise a contract clause that expired on 10th June that he could leave for free immediately. Regardless that the season was extended, he would need our legal team to get that one through

[Blackadder]

He's coming. I feel it in my water. And I'm only halfway down a bottle of Tesco's Finest Chianti Classico.

Would he get in the starting XI though?

[ross.mcfc]

What kinda moves do we have to make this comply with FFP?

Silva, Sane, Bravo off the wage bill. Otamendi and Stones hopefully as well. I make that about 500k a week freed up. Torres and Ake won't bite too much into that and we have Garcia (maybe) and Foden to step up. We need a top-class CB before Messi so that will take up a chunk of what we have kicking about.

I wonder if selling Jesus to fund the wages for two/three years might be the easy-way around this. He's not the long-term replacement for Aguero. I'd love to know how to put a figure on just how much Messi in our side adds £££'s to the sponsorship/PR side of things.

Won't he be getting a basic salary of £50K a week with the Sheikh topping it up through the back door?

[Mase]

I thought FFP was being relaxed this summer because of COVID? Or now Messi is potentially on the move to City and Sancho isn’t going to the rags have they fucked that idea off?

[Sparklehorse]

How old is he?

[Wooders]

How old is he?

33 - still got 2 years of high level football at least

[Nickyboy]

Sure we'll have a really creative way of accounting for a £700m asset being added to the books free of charge

[PeterParker]

I would go with 3. He is still a beast.

[zuricity]

So let me get this right . We sign Messi and no one can go and watch him play ! Typical for City.

Let's be honest about this gents, his best years are behind him.
