You’d think he’d delay it until that so he’s not risking rowing back like that I think McGuires legal team were expecting the case to be delayed while they examined the evidence. I’d imagine that’s what Southgate was expecting as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Calling fans of all clubs, not just EPL, two questions: 1. Where do you think Messi will end up? 2. Can you come up with a cogent reason why he should join your club? I'll start, Messi should join Tottenham, because of the challenge of single handedly turning under achieving so called ' big club' into winners. Even the League Cup would be welcome.

Wolford6 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Bradford City, but he'll have to fight Ronaldo for a starting shirt. But he'll get a company van anyway. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Can Messi walk out ? Is under contract ? If there’s a get out clause is it valid here , what if Barca say ‘ hang on a second ‘ we don’t agree . We want the money in the exit clause ? If he gets out not many will be able to afford him you’d reckon . One thing is if he comes here he’ll find it a lot different to La Liga where so many teams just sit back and watch him play .

Messi has or had a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for nothing, that expired in June at season's end. But he is arguing that Covid 19 meant the season ended in July or August so the clause should be likewise extended. With no transfer fee ,hey even Everton could get him, but I doubt that Messi has reached the age where senility has gotten hold, so we can rule that out.

I think if Messi signed for Villa, I might scrape the train fare from Hastings to Witton, when the gates open to watch him. I Will not pay SkySports fees though!

Bleep1673 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 It won't happen, Villa do not have the money, they could've signed Tammy Abraham last season, as their top scorer, but refused to do so because his first name sounded like a sanitary product, and spent £100m on useless reserve team players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep1673 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Messi will go for a season to Man Utd, Man City, Italy, or Portugal, then back to Argentina, if not before.He won't go to Liverpool, because he won't get the game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerjon Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The BBC were going to be showing a tie this evening but owing to a Covid infection it has now been declared a walkover. Not sure they're going to be showing an alternative. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
