El Profesor 1,457 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 So, Marcelo Bechler says that Messi already decided his next club and it's Manchester City. Not only he wants to go to Manchester City, Messi also wants to leave for free, he understands that it´s his right to do so. Bechler has a really good pulse on everything related to Barcelona. He was one the who first broke the Neymar transfer to PSG and he was the first to break the news that Messi wanted to leave this summer. So, I guess it´s really happening. Has to be the biggest sports transfer of all time, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes sense because they are like the generic Bayern Munioh. I don't know if @Toinho has that on his side of the sphere. The shopping brand??

Tbf we all know the only thing that can get Pep even close to a semi (or beyond) is Messi. That also applies to Pep’s performances in the CL.

Think we would of won it this year if Pep just played our normal team and formation instead of trying to be too clever ..not sure how Messi is going to do in the Prem at 33 but it's going to be an interesting season if we can crowbar him away from Barca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could also happen is that City and Barça end up finding an agreement with City sending Gabriel Jesus, Eric Garcia and some cash to Barcelona for Messi. Koeman is said to be interested in Gabriel Jesus to replace Suárez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we keep Jesus, send Aguero instead ..they can have Garcia but Messi has a clause which expired in June but with Covid it might still be valid ..we have a great legal team so lets see, we might get him free with Barca getting nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that Koeman wants to build a hard-working team, with forwards that can press other teams and Jesus would really fit the bill. He and Griezmann together would be a real pain for opposing teams in the high press. Sure, City legal team is great but a good deal that pleases all sides is better than a long legal fight and I doubt Txiki, Soriano and Pep would like to be viewed as villains in Barcelona.

Devil-Dick Willie 3,253 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Messi has won everything he can at club level. He also has more money than he could spend in 10 lifetimes. If hes allowed to walk away and negotiate for his own contract with any club these are the things I'd be thinking of. 1. Legacy. Where can I go that will enhance my legacy as a player. Winning the Premier league or Bundesliga, or playing alongside Ronaldo at Juve are the only things that make sense here. 2. Comfort. Where can I go thats nice to play, nice to live. Not that shitty rainy little Island off the coast of France thats for sure. 3. My fans. Where would please my fans most. Staying at Uefalona or going back to Argentina are the big plays here 4. Fuck em all. Go play for Madrid, or Espanyol, play for Celtic cos why the fuck not? Move to Roma because you like their kit, play for Ajax cos it would be respectable for all 4 categories.

Spike 5,100 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 For me, it is the ultimate beauty of playing for world renowned Perth Glory, it even has the glory in the name in case you forget. The best part would be confusing all the Aussie boys about how much he loves mate, the boys would make the showers scarce when he enters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather we kept Jesus than have Messi for the 2-3 years he has left ..he only has one year left in his contract too so a straight 100m is fair with no players going to Barca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berserker 1,332 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Never though he'd leave except than perhaps for ending his career in Newells, it's just just hard to picture him in another shirt. He'd probably want to reunite with Pep at City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Chelsea are perhaps more of an option than I thought, they've got the dough and the pull of London is likely to be something to their advantage over Manchester City. It's just whether Messi sees Frank Lampard as having the nous to compete for the Champions League next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
