Ah gotcha
Ballbag's said Messi is all agreed to sign a new contract.
So what number will City give him?
So what number will City give him?
I'm not sure he'd be as good outside his Barca comfort zone.
Yes, yes it is.
I'd settle for him never writing anything again.
I can't see what he gets out of leaving Barca. It would be like, say, Giggs leaving United at the same age. He might toy with the idea, but he knows where his heart lies.
Won't happen. Not this summer, not any summer.
I don't like the bloke, but I'd find a new sense of disdain if he decided to go and chase the money and join City. Swapping Barca, for all their faults, for City would be mental.
He would be phenomenal.
Especially at a club like City.
He would be like Silva (at his best) on steroids.
I don't think so personally. I know all logic says he would be. He's never been as good for Argentina imo. There are a lot of easy games in La Liga which he thrives in.
He'd find it frustrating at times, but his quality would no doubt shine through eventually.
Messi is the best player in the whole universe, he could do it in any league. Simple as that.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he'd suddenly turn into Lingard, just that I don't think he'd find it as easy as he does in Spain. Just my opinion.
Fair enough thats your opinion.
However Messi can do the impossible with and without the ball, literally a magician, I could go on and on. A pure genius.
Yeah, because Messi always struggle vs English teams in the CL.
Oh wait, he doesn't.
He'd rip up the Prem.
Yap. He's had his most impressive and easiest games vs English opposition.
He's crushed every single English team he's faced (except Chelsea and he was still very good in that game)
He would make mincemeat of the cannon fodder in this league.
I don't understand United fans saying this. He's shown us first hand what he can do. Twice. In the biggest final in club football.
City signing Messi would make it a one horse and dull race, it would be a shame to see.
Don't understand why Balague feels the need to defend the Spanish clubs especially when it verses the English teams. He is employed by the British media and is an Espanyol fan.
I know this sound weird but good players get more protection in the CL than in England. I don't think the CL is a great reflection of how well a player will perform in the UK. Plus we weren't a physical side. He may struggle more against more aggressive tackling.
Having said that i think he would be unbelievable in the league. Ha ha.
But seriously... He has not long signed one yeah?
He signs a new one every year and Neymar is now earning more than him.
And yet he sticks up for Liverpool in the Coutinho saga, the guy seriously is messed up in the head.
Technically isn't signed yet.

Says there an agreement was made but he didn't put pen to paper yet.
He studied in Liverpool and has a soft spot for the Scousers.
Ah right
Saves Danny Rose googling him at least.
He's not been involved much at Celta anyway to be fair. Bit odd for Spurs to go for him.All the more reason to hate him then.
Messi would drive PL defenses mad until some desperate manager from some low table team orders an execution tackle & good riddance.
You're right, it does sound weird. The guy scored against Rio, Vidic and Van der Sar... scientists analyzed Messi and said his decision and dribble skill is one of the fastest among all the players due to his low center of gravity. Put simply, Messi will decelerate, anticipate and accelerate with the ball in a speed that no one else in the world will catch up. Do you really think this guy will struggle in the EPL that much? Sure, some players will try to break his legs. But he will anticipate it. His motion is at another level, at least, scientifically speaking.
