lolz...its funny when I see post like this, incase you dnt kno, the same player that you said have passed his prime and his 33 is currently the most decisive player in Europe and the best playmaker you can ever get in the inflated overhyped transfer market..

For a player who has never played outside Spain? That's Gamble of the highest order!

So other players become second fiddle. Let him play alone as the team, since he will be earning wages equivalent of 10 players. Non sense. This will kill the moral of other players. Other players might team up against him, since the glory of the club will be attributed to him just like Barca. See what happened to Man U when they signed Pogba, the same fate might befall man city[quote author=WriterNig post=93414357]https://i2.wp.com/technosports.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/messi.jpg?fit=800%2C418&ssl=1

wait oo only for one player?? chinekeme

Yes I know and also since he had faced all top teams in EPL and his records against them are amazing...it may be a good gamble for city

He deserves it

City will get back the money in it first season for sure , na we dey worry for here

Waste of money...on the sporting aspect..

Is it your money?

Dalil8:
Massive risk for the club, paying too much for a 33yr old.

That is his real age, 33 is still young. You'll be shocked by the real age of some players. Besides, the name MESSI will make the club money. But above all he's currently still among the best I the world.
I say the club will be very lucky to land him.

jelel6:
Obviously. I also only watch if they play a good team in UCL. And CR7 is not in my top 10 exciting players to watch anyways.

He can be exciting to watch atimes though. He's not entertaining cos his game is simply about goal scoring unlike Messi that plays with so much flair.

einsteine:
If you had read the post, you will see that he is to spend two or three years of the contract playing in the MLS with Manchester City's US club, New York City FC

still not of much difference from stand, mls under city for 3 seasons when he decide for any league of choice with being tied.

Now we know the real GOAT

Let them pay the £ 750 M as far as we offload GOATS, WE THANK GOD... WE NEED YOUNG BLOOD

Dat Money No Too Much? He Reach To Buy 3 To 4 Players Oo.

paulolee:

how many English teams has he faced? 3 or 4 I guess. Then he is expected to play in a high pace league against 19 teams at age 33 years?

Lol. Well done sir!

The way pep is sucking money from mancity owners like mumu still no champions league trophy they have not learn their leasons of over spending.
Thats why i pick klop over pep when in comes to club management and high metal German football

mastermaestro:
Why are you weeping so hard? Don't let envy kill you o. I wish you would expend more energy pursuing your goals in life instead of cry foul over a man whose one leg has brought him enormous success and fame.

What's this one yarning like an emotional woman now.

If you have nothing to contribute, don't waste someone's time na.

Messi has declined. If you have counter argument, lay it forward or keep quiet sir.

Those saying Messi is passed is prime plus measure ur club aand tell me which player is half as good as messi

Exactly. Unfortunately for him. The euphoria from a goal only last a few moments and there can only be so many goals in a match.

Lol. Well done sir!

he has faced man.u, chelsea, Liverpool, city, arsenal, Tottenham n even liecester and have scored against all in the highest level...mayb his age can be a factor but leo isnt new to EPL teams..

Ee reach to buy a whole team

paulolee:
you can say its a waste from the sporting aspect because of his age but i think city knows more than you do and they do see alot of gains and advantages in that deal
you dnt have any idea about how EPL and city fans are hoping to see messi play in EPL and city wants to cash out on that and also city have soo much cash to spend on bringing messi,
lastly having messi in this city squad would give them a big shot in winning all cups in England and the UCL...i jus pray he moves this season..

No doubt a player like messi will boost man city and the premier league at large....so in the business sense,it seems a good deal but not in the sporting aspect..he have just few years left to play at the top level.

charlesm91:
don’t twist the narrative. Ronaldo fans say this because y’all Barca liked to brag about loyalty in football when there’s no such thing as true loyalty and simply business. That’s the reason Ronaldo fans are calling Messi out now cos y’all bragged he could never leave cos he’s loyal and the club saved him when he was young.

Thank u very much...messi fans are bloody hypocrites and can quickly change mouth... thats y they are the worst set of fans in the world...they started the cr7 messi rivalry when they said cr7 is not on messi's level ...just imagine those mo.rons .. cos balon dor was 4.1 ..... when ronaldo uped his game and levelled 5.5 with more ... they started screaming assist , when they saw he was good at that , they started labelling him mr new challenge cos messi dint want to leave barca...now the narrative has change and they hv changed mouth again like Nigerian politicians

Am in short of words this is absolutely crazy

paulolee:
i was forced to explain to ur fellow cr7 fan, take ur time and go through it..and mind you being decisive isnt jus abt scoring goals, a midfielder or playmaker can be decisive without scoring goals, a goalkeeper can save all penalties in a final shootout and be tagged decisive without scoring....i hope u learn bro
messi is called an elba man, what abt cr7 dts called tapnaldo, penaldo??

U posted crap and people are liking the crap...being decisive is also being effective... ronaldo won 3 of the last CL titles ...goals decide games and not asssists ... if ur assist is not converted to goals, then that assist is crap... ronaldo has scored more decisive goals than messi in the CL i the past 5 seasons ... the only game messi has been decisive in the past 5 years in the game against chelsea over 2 legs... and that was I think 2019

Lol. EPL is not like any other European league. If he plays in the EPL, his greatest test will not come from the teams you just mentioned. They will come from teams like Watford, wolves, and many others.

Secondly, the EPL Is a fast pace league. If he was younger, it would have been better. But leaving a slow pace league to go play in a fast pace league at old Age? Well, let's see how it turns out

thats where you are getting it wrong, being decisive isnt jus abt goals, cr7 score two goals against lyon but still didn't qualify, would you still say he was decisve against lyon??
secondly messi is more of a playmaker and more influential im games than cr7 messi easily decides the outcome of games by giving assist even without scoring....i think you should check the meaning of decisve before throwing tantrums like a kid and insulting those that know football more than you do...

Dickeyrider:
No mind the mumu sanchez01. Ronaldo is decisive upfront with goals but got dumped by Ajax and Lyon.


Mr champions league can't even take juve to semi finals in 2 years yet they call him influencial in big games

U guys are very dumb ooo...oh my goodness... so tell me how messi has been decisive in the last 5 yrs .. are u serious.... ronaldo won the CL 3 consecutive times within the same period and scored decisive goals... even against Atletico in juve ...he scored decisive goals...pls tell me the decisive goals messi has scored in the past 5 years apart from Chelsea in 2018.... and I will mention 10 games ronado was decisive in the past 5 yrs

ojaysam25:

Even the business....man city can never make bk that cash... 750m is just a quarter away from hitting a billion...as if man city dint hv sponsors b4...will the sponsors automatically quadruple their deals during this pandemic because of a player that is nearing end of his career... they talk like as if clubs dint mk bad investments... was sanchez deal not a bad investment?? So as bales deal at madrid... how many extra jerseys would they sell coss of messi...or will the number of seats increase??

Joke of the year

...being a biased fan shouldn't make u sound foolish... how can u say a player that hasnt won crucial games is the past 5 years is more decisive than the one that has scored winning goals... what is the meaning of decisive?? In football, it simply means goals...goals that decide games... against man u , he scored decisive goals but dint against Liverpool... ronaldi did against Atletico twice, bayern 2ice, Wolfsburg, dorrmund , shalke, juventus twice, roma he scored goals that decided the games...not winning 6.0 ... im talking about one goal difference gamesor 2 goals at most... messi only did it against man u and Chelsea in the past 2 seasons...and group games are not really decisive unlike knockout games
