Fair enough, but bringing Messi at this late stage of his career to City, plus with a massive salary could have negative impacts on all our other stars, so I would rather he did not come to be honest.

I think it’s a pr exercise and I doubt whether it will happen

Hopefully it will, now the club have rubbished it but I won’t hold my breath.

I'd welcome him if he was on regular wages. But, since that isn't happening, hard pass.

It is relentlessly tiresome and an utter fiction. The guy has spent his entire adult life living in Barcelona and has played for the club since the age of 13 (he is now 33). His family, including his three sons, are settled and happy, the weather is superb and he is wealthy beyond the dreams of Croesus........I can see no reason on earth that he would switch that for North East England.

But all the media want are the clicks....

Is he off to Newcastle then

Now THAT would be a good rumour to start....

I reckon Pep could turn this lad into a top player as a CF for us, thoughts

[Skoorb]

I think Pep could indeed mould him if given the chance. We will be in the market for a versatile, fast forward this summer.

 

[johnkelv]

The best result for all concerned, Messi stays, Kun goes to play with his mate on a free, and City buy a gun new young striker for next season.

Pickford ruled out of the upcoming international fixtures, so it looks like Everton will have their reserve keeper on duty for our FA Cup tie on Saturday.

I think you maybe right they are sacrificing him for Saturdays game in order that he does not travel, a top 4 is their priority

 

[johnkelv]

Based on his current form Kun will not be getting an extension with us, however I feel it unlikely he will go to Chelsea because he wants to play with his mate Messi on his way back to Argentina.

I would not think you could couple the names of Sergio Aguero and Danny Ings in the same breath but anyway....

Most City fans would be surprised at this link to Danny considering his age and injury record, maybe we are looking at him as a cheaper #2 striker, all will be revealed this northern summer window, but for sure Kun is on his bike.

Yes JK, age and injuries have caught up with him. Nothing good lasts forever.

Just hoping that the Sun is correct on the Messi saga
