Why’s Graelish getting dropped for many? He’d play where they plan for Kane…

I'll take him in a heartbeat even if the cost is absurd. He's that great.
Oh wow, all signs seemed like they were pointing to him staying. They're in huge trouble financially, maybe they've decided it's just not worth it.
Arsenal
They could have sold him last summer to City for 100m, in fact he told them he wants to leave and they kept him. 100m fee plus 50m+ saved on a wages would have bought them Haaland.
Absolute mess.
Will end up at City or PSG.
Sancho, Varane, Messi plus Ronaldo possibly on the market.
Thank the heavens and the merciful footballing gods
Barca saying Messi wants to stay and pointing at 'spanish' league... I just don't believe this is genuine.
Not being able to register Messi due to wage cap feels like a proper for a club who wasted ton of money on useless players, each one costed +100m like Griezmann, Coutinho and Dembele without any benefit from them, just to end up not being able to register Messi.
They're a club in which every thing was run wrong and it was bound to bite them in the arse one day.

Helps make it harder for them to go broke but they'll be horrible on the pitch for a bit. Griezmann, Dembele, Aguero, Memphis all on huge deals in their attack now and not necessarily good or healthy options. Messi played a big part in their revenue but also carried them on the field for ages now. My guess is they're about to go through a Milan style plummet and it's not going to be a quick revive. Lucky for them they have De Jong and Pedri I guess, but they're fecked IMO.
Barcelona’s commitment to the Super League now is a bit more rational. Literally cannot keep Messi without it.
Yes and have you read it?
If City go after him, they will shit the bed.... mark my words. I can see them imploding in a couple of years!
People abuse Barca but seems our fans wouldn't mind driving us off cliff either.
I am absolutely willing to be quoted to the hilt here but he will shit it in the premier league, won't know what's hit him.
This is Barca also playing their card to try and sway at La Liga giving them leeway…..
Given the odds above, staying at Barca would still be my bet.

Likely a bluff though.
City or PSG bound.
Would suit PSG a lot more.

He’s a bit of a greedy wee bastard anyway if he wouldn’t take a pay cut at 34 after all the club done for him…
Yeah I meant which position would he play at. He replaces our current first choice for the position obviously. Would be striker position only in our system.
I have. Did you not understand it? Messi is gone.
PSG, he'll go play with Neymar and a few other friends, win a few more trophies and earn a huge payday to end his career in Europe before going back to Argentina/MLS. Messi will never play in the premier league.
Ole sign him up please. Just imagine:
Cavani
Sancho Bruno Messi
Who gives a feck about the rest of the team?Sancho Bruno Messi
Woody's parting gift.
In reality it's either PSG or back home surely.

If he ends up at City, it just makes any titles they win even more irrelevant. Not that their 10 fans will care
Chelsea is paying 120m for Lukaku + wage in Covid time. Roman is past that stage but this might just be too tempting for him, and City can always do their paying under the table trick, so that’s 3.
We would instantly become favourites for the league. With Messi the only tactic you need is to pass to him.
That's insane. Feels like brinkmanship from Barca towards La Liga.
La Liga to cave on their policy in 3.....2......1.....

It's not me who's struggling to understand it
exactly what I am thinking. I can see him Grealish and the rest of the Man City crew... underperforming this year. You cant buy teamwork and unity .. or throw cash at a team. just my thoughts.
It has to be a bluff, but it's a really desperate and obvious one....
Must be called.
Barcelona simply refusing to sell players to get in line with the rules...
Meanwhile La Liga selling 11% of revenue for 40 years! to CVC. Worst deal in history?
Crazy times.

Erm Phil Jones to next club will beat that
Doubt anyone can afford him.
His fanbois kept telling me that he was doing nothing wrong by asking for huge wages at Barcelona, pushing them to the brink of financial ruin.
They said that if Barca don't pay, there will be several clubs to pay even more.
PSG or the MLS. Can’t see City being in for him (well I fecking hope not)
- Adidas will step in and cover his wages
- His shirt sales will pay for his wages
- He generates enough revenue to cover his and Pogba's wages
