You know some poor sod has just logged in the first in a couple of days, saw a 6 page thread on Messi and if not keeled over, probably ripped their c##ks before realising it’s nonsense. We have a lot to answer for Haven't been in On-Topic for a few days. It's still nice we are in talks with Messi though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 He’s won everything there is to win so why not finish off his playing career in europe with the founding fathers of league football - He owes a big debt to William McGregor as well as Martinez 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happening. If he’s about to announce a club then why aren’t there any strong rumours about which one? Because only one club in world football is this good at transfer secrecy. He will be unveiled without warning just like Ings was. Also explains why we needed to get Young off the books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi being transitioned to RB in his dotage? but we use our LB as our attacking FB. Maybe we'll go back to Slippy G's strategy of using the FB's for attacking width and have midfielders cover defensively. He was ahead of his time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a like for like exchange, just Young was an obvious high earner to cull. That said, if we could shift Digne then we could cover Messi's wages twice over.
