What's that twat ballbag had to say about this?
What's his likeliest destination? City?
merge threads mods?
Ya definitely, there was even an article from a few days ago saying that City were already looking into the finances surrounding a potential move for Messi.
This is my take, he wants the president to resign. Everything I have read indicates that his young family is well settled in Barcelona and cannot see him moving his family elsewhere at this time.
Sign him up by giving him United shares. I mean heck, Woody's nailed that said of the biz. Messi can be owner and player! Feck me! 
Messi to Madrid for the laughs
Realistically though,its City or PSG.
You're right about Brady! I almost forgot the Glazers owned Tampa.
Can they afford him after they just got off the hook because of ffp
Probably crying right now
We would be stupid not to
Doesn't matter now that they were let off with a tiny fine.
I just think City is sadly the best suited club for him -
.Top League
.Still a challenge with City coming a distant 2nd last season and still are yet to win the CL
.Has worked and been successful with Pep and city is full of former Barca people.
.City are loaded.
.He would become their main man(Unlike at PSG)
United are just too risky a project imo for a 33 year old Messi.
Chelsea are going to get him aren’t they?
city have ended FFP, so why not?

Was just gonna say. It would be funniest thing in the world if he pulled a Figo.
He is not coming to United ffs 
Messi... or Pep?
That would be his nuclear threat if the board plays hardball and wants to take it to court I suppose.
Absolutely would happen, doubling his wage while officially quartering itAt Barca Messi had around 1 million euro a week.
Imagine if he goes to City and accept 300K...... (officially)....
I’m genuinely surprised you’re not more excited. Is it that crazy to think that united would sign him? In my mind you’re the next most likely destination after City, ahead of Paris.
Him and Pep fell out towards the end of Pep's reign at Barca.
Also, will Pep want a forward that doesn't press?
Muppet hat on.
Welcome Leo to Man Utd!

One of the handful of clubs who can pay his wages: Check
CL football: Check
Chance to play with Mason: Check (He's going to mentor Mason like Ronaldinho mentored him)
Konami links: Check
There have been quite a lot of indications that this was coming.
There had been zero leaks around our incoming transfers for the past few days. Our social media admin has been taking the piss by showing us goals of RVP and all. This has to end with us signing a huge player!
Also, if you look back, this deal was always coming. Woodward said that we can do things other teams can only dream of. That was when we had started negotiations with Messi and his dad. Knowing the speed at which we do our business, that negotiation is coming to an end now and is going to end up with Messi becoming our latest signing

Would be crazy from us not to try especially on a free.
Imagine PSG with Neymar, Mbappe and Messi. Playstation, surely.
United should do everything to get him. Yes I know he’s at the tail end of his career but it would lift the profile of the club hugely plus it would attract other players. At a time when United are in the spotlight for the wrong reasons this would be a welcome lift.
What did he do?
He is not leaving, yet.
I read this as an ultimatum, him or Barto.
If the board keeps him, his buddies like Suarez are also retained.
I think more will be clear end of the week.

Been reported for weeks that Inter's Chinese owners fancy him and were seeking investment to fund it. He also has some deals with Chinese companies like Weibo.
Sorry what? You didn’t know that?
Inter will be up there. Conte staying, so inter board would have promised some big buys.
allegedly told him that the days of him getting specially privileges at the club are over.
We can't get Sancho and someone thinks we can get Messi ?!
Taking his wages into account, I’d guess the line will be 2 long.
A couple of bank accounts in Dubai under a phony company registered in the Cayman's in name of his wife and voila!Absolutely would happen, doubling his wage while officially quartering it
If he goes, it has to be PSG to link up with his mate?
Neymar-Messi-Mbappe
ADM Back into midfield with Veratti and Marquinhos.
I can definitely see them going for it and reaping the rewards of a boost in profile. Not to mention the fact that he can sit out minor league games whenever he feels the need to.

Puyol with a somewhat cryptic tweet, translated with Google:
I don't think Messi would like to play for a guy like Conte to be honest
They will just throw another 10m at the rule book as some sort of a penalty. FFP means nothing to the rich clubs.
