Summer transfer thread

[LEGS]

Boah, think it was way late this year. Not sure.



We did back in 2009/10 I think. Rafa really wanted him and was supposedly ready to sell Xabi to get Gareth in.

We did try to sign Barry but Rafa clarified the Alonso myth he said he wanted to add Barry to the squad and not sell.

He did make regular digs at Valencia and towards the end of his time here about no squad depth.

The mind fuck teams will go through playing an already elite team like City but now plus Messi will get them more wins alone. Even with a leaky defense they will get 100 points. If that happens then if they didn’t win a treble or more would be a failure. Mahrez and Jesus will be sitting on that bench quite a bit more. The media soak-fest over a City-Messi-Pep team will be too much to deal with to stay sane.

Lionel Messi wants to join Manchester City from Barcelona, Sky Sports News can confirm.

Sky Sports News has been told by one source that Messi held a three-hour conversation with Pep Guardiola on the phone last week, as reported in Spain.

It is understood Messi and Guardiola want to renew their partnership as the club pursues an elusive Champions League trophy next season.

Actually happening, would be a shame if someone snapped him in half first game.

he won't stay injury free.

lets hope he dont get free kicks for being blocked in a tackle like he does in Spain.I still remember the free kick that lead up to barcas 3rd at the nou-camp.. all the commentators were cumming from goal he scored from the dead ball.
They neglect the fact Fabinho was running back towards his own penalty area with his back turned to Messi. Messi ran into him and fell over. The ref just saw Messi on the floor and that was enough to award the foul.

I wish klopp came out and said we're interested, just to piss the media off (we all know that it would be bullshit, maybe some fans in africa the ones you see comment on facebook, twitter etc all the time) would believe it, lol.

Ahhh bollox to it. Let him go there. Be all the sweeter when we win it again next year.

Ah, you're right, he did.

This. A thousand times this.

But I also quite like Kev's idea - just to fuck with them.

Would FFP allow them to buy Ake, Kouabaily and Messi in one window ?

Theyve already shown that they can get away with pretty much whatever they want so I cant imagine that would worry the arrogant cunts.
