If he somehow comes to City, I don't even know what I would do.

Has any oddsmaker set anything yet, I would assume we would be leading that.

 

Same old pantomime villain, Suarez.

 

In the last five minutes, five different journalists have reported that United, City, PSG, and Inter "are paying very close attention." No shit.

 

Maguire out of the England squad too.

 

The thing is depending on the fee and with his wages, how the hell do any of them pull that off and comply with FFP? Inter were having issues with Sanchez's wages, not sure what Messi's wages would do.

 

I tweeted this earlier because I am very funny

 

People are already starting to gather round the Barca offices to protest. Wow.

 

Erm, Luis Figo is calling it "another historical moment". Anyone old enough to remember Figo will know why that's hilarious after what he did.

 

For those of us that don’t remember, please elaborate

 

Luis Figo left Barcelona for Real Madrid back when he was considered one of the best players on the planet.

 

He switched from Barcelona to Madrid. It's what eventually led to the severed pig head incident.

 

I cannot wait for this doc

 

Koeman just here like what the fuck have I walked into haha

Just escalating all the time. Every 5 minutes there's another headline like this.

 

okay, but can we talk about the fact that in the year of our lord 2020 fax machines are still how this is done

 

Well, we are glad you asked! A burofax is a method of business communication, popular in Spain, that allows people to send a secure document that will be recognized in a court or by a third party.

In the United States, we have certified mail or notaries public. In Spain, they use burofax. It’s not necessarily a fax, though it can be. They’ve also added a new form of it as a secure electronic communication that requires a digital signature from the recipient.

It’s a very secure form of business communication, basically. Not just a fax. But that would be more fun if it were just a fax, and if you want to keep up the fax machine memes, I’m not going to stop you.

What is a burofax and why did Messi use one to tell Barcelona he wants out?

interesting

 

L M A O do it Becks

 

I would crease if Koeman somehow doesn't end up managing a game for Barca. For example, what if the next presidential candidate wants Xavi like he says he does?

 

I read some guy on Reddit saying that one of the candidates has already flat out said they'd fire him haha. Could end up back in Netherlands for the Euros really, with a fat payoff too no doubt.

 

Messi to City for G. Jesus + E. Garcia + Cash seems to be picking up steam.

 

Didn't expect to see a deal like that with a couple of players on top.

 

His release clause is 700m. I think they’re gonna wrangle a good bit out of whatever deal it ends up being

 

City is realistically the only team that he’d go to. PSG can afford him but I don’t see that happening when City have Pep.
