Apparently we've offered to pay his outstanding tax bill.

YES! MESSI! GET IN!
What paper is that?
Football is officially eating itself.
About time I say.
Dare I guess that his release clause is NOT at £18 million
Can he play central midfield?
Needs to bulk up.
Needs to bulk up.
How are papers allowed to get away with that though? It's such an incredibly shit story, the fact it even made it to print is mind boggling
Following that story confirms we will be getting only Baines & Fellani...
No ones even getting remotely excited at the Messi rumours coz its just such obvious BS
My word. Isn't sports journalism the easiest job in the world???

I imagine sports journalism is pretty much like playing Madlibs
[Team] join the race to sign [Player] for [Fee]
[Team1] and [Team2] are set to miss out on [Player] as he favours a move to [Team3]
Etc.
But, but, why only if we fail to get Ronaldo. Cannot we have both? And while we're at it, Lewa, Bale and THiago wouldn't hurt.

Add another zero at the end at it will be closer.
£205m, IIRC.
Has to be the worst transfer story of all time?
Messi sounds like a done deal to be fair.
Messi has always wanted to play for David Moyes, he was always going to sign for us at some point
The best thing about this, is that the first paragraph suggests he's our second choice
Where do they get this shit? Seriously. Sunday always brings out the best muppet stories.
This is a tweet from yesterday I'll concede but I haven't seen this notion that he'll want a clause similar to the one in his Barcelona contract discussed anywhere 'round these parts.
It has been discussed heavily.
Yep. Three pages ago: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/transfer-twitter-thread.328302/page-310#post-13724221
If it's been tweeted by Graham Hunter, we've seen it and it's been discussed.
As if Ronaldo coming back wasn't silly enough, they had to go one step sillier...
Screw you guys. Screw you!
If we can pay £50m and give Rooney for Messi that will be some good bit of business, hopefully they make it happen.
Some Stoke-player would probably break one (or both) of his legs within 2 months of arriving in England. Messi would regret making a fool of Huth and Shawcross in the opening 20 mins
Don't want to give us Thiago ? We're taking Messi with us because we can.
feck Yeah.
feck Yeah.
Heavily as in a few posters saying "give him the clause"?
I think that's player power going a little bit too far. Don't see why clubs like Barcelona or United should consider that sort of thing. It puts pressure on managers to use players that they may feel are sub-optimal at a given moment to fit contract criteria. And can work in so many ways against the clubs. An unhappy player can just stop making an effort in order to be dropped and see his clause substantially lowered.
I am in favor of release clauses, but this is going a tad too far. This whole situation has been an embarrassment for Barça and I don't understand why other big clubs should want to follow suit. This is still a sport.
Ok then.
Left back spot sorted, we wouldn't play him on the wings or up front cause that would be too predictable and the likes of Stoke would be wise to that. Start him deep and watch him flourish.
Yeah, that. Or about 20 pages in the Thiago-thread.
Sorry, couldn't bother (and forgot about that thread), just judged the few posts below what Damien linked to and threw my two cents here.
There were a couple of rousing "We are Manchester United, we do not give in to terrorists' demands" speeches.
That's good to hear. I hope it's the dominating opinion.
Apparently, I was talking to Aiden McGeadys cousin here on holiday...he off to Sunderland. He seems full of shit but I wantcto he #itk go dammit!!
Combining the "twitter transfer thread" and the "I'm drunk" thread...impressive!
I think Welbeck has more to his all-round game than Messi to be honest, what with his physical stature etc. Pointless to waste money like that when we already have the talent here.
Better in the air too, Messi'd be shite with crosses.
He's good in the air too....he once out jumped Vidic and beat VDS to score a goal against us!
