Manchester United and Man City urged to make Lionel Messi transfer approach

No, Barca.

It would destroy whatever wage structure is in place and presumably the team would have to play around him. Not sure there are enough City fans out there to buy shirts with his name on the back to make it financially viable. Plus he's old (in footie terms) - we'd get a year out of him before he started making noises about wanting to finish his career back at Barca.

We would be mad to take on Messi for all sorts of reasons at this stage of his career.

Every time Barcelona suffer a major blip or Messi’s contract is on the horizon this emerges. Every time. I cannot believe he will leave Barcelona before he retires from football.

On the plus side Pep appears unable to win the CL without him - perhaps a years loan?

We await confirmation from the OS

I'm not buying it until he shows up in our shirt.

City apparently allegedly, might have, may be getting out the old abacus to see if they can afford Messie.

As they say if you have to ask the price you cannot afford him.

Every. Fecking. Time.

Every time Messi blinks it's the same old sh*t. Change the record (the media).

Messi is about 9 minutes in.
