  1. A 200 million offer for a 33 year old is obscene, don’t forget on top of that would be his wages which would also be obscene.

    Signing Messi would promote city to the European elite gang though. Something I don’t think there anywhere near at the moment.Signing Messi would probably be more valuable to them then winning the European cup as regards building the brand. How much would they make back in sponsorship deals and shirt sales?

  3. Real Madrid appears to make 350 million in commercial activities. There's a lot of money to get there and having Messi on your side for sure will help a lot. I don't think money itself will be the biggest issue here, biggest challenge might be to fit it in with the financial fairplay rules. I also read something about a combined deal with New York City FC; 3 years (Man) City, then 2 years NY City.

    So,effectively it’s a 5 year contract contracted to the owners of Man City,who of course own New York City,and Melbourne City in Aus.I’m led to believe this leaving Barcelona on a ‘free’ agreement expired on 30th June,he had to tell them and go before then.But with the pandemic,who knew?

    Even if Man City get him,then proceed to claim a Champions League win,they’ll need to win at least 2 more to be classed as elite in Europe.Chelsea only won 1 at the height of their success,with an interim manager too.They aren’t elite.Barcelona will rue the day they got Koeman,dreadful coach.My club are still paying the price of his decisions 3 years ago.Hes’s an absolute tube.

    I hope Messi does come to the Premier League,fun to be had there.Straight in to my Fantasy team no danger lol
  5. Milner will be happy to welcome Messi to the Premier Leaugue
  6. Pato will be away from the site until Messi retires now.
