I hadn't paid too much attention to these rumours with the one article saying we'd pay Messi £800K per week (chortles) and the Pep rumour just a regurgitation of previous ones but....

Talkshite and others reporting that Pep has pulled out of Bayern's presser ahead of their game tomorrow on "personal grounds" leaving Jerome Boateng to field questions. Seems a bit odd to me, so perhaps there is more to this than it seams, unless anyone else knows if it's common to pull out of a presser?

Welcome pep...

Pep would be great for our new EDS coach and Messi could help us out when Silva is injured. More depth is always welcome

Messi would require a MASSIVE monetary outlay that, for a 28 yr old, probably isn't worth it....even if he would instantly generate a massive amount of money for the club through commercial deals and kit sales.

We'd sell out EVERY game if Messi was playing for us - away fans too.

Messi is not coming. Another rumour to get him a better contract.

Pep is another story, and would make me happy even though I back Pellegrini, generally speaking.

I think consistent motivation of our players is an issue at times, although our injury problems are also not going to help any manager, and I am sure he feels, but cannot say this aloud.
