Messi might as well announce that he's staying now. Laporta has brought in another amigo for him.

I bet he got a great signing-on fee. If he does shit and is injured all the time next season, we can just release him for basically nothing. But I don't think Messi won't allow that. You've seen what he's like if the club treats one of the amigos like crap. I just don't see this signing...

I guess it's official. I mean, I guess I'll get behind it. But I can't say I'm happy about this. We're signing a 33-year-old player that's probably to please Messi.

I call bullshit on this. Man City wants Kane and Grealish.... and I heard they need to sell players first to get those players. I highly doubt they want to waste their budget on average players like Roberto.

Laporta's first stint was nowhere this bad. We have no clue how Laporta is going to sort this. Our net debt was only something like 150m euros when he first took over in 2003. Actually, when he left, he actually increased our net debt to 450m euros. He also increased our salary intake by a lot...

He was scared of pulling his hamstring ahead of his big move to Barcelona.

I don't even rate their manager. Their squad is good, but it's not a team that should be beating that City team. Pep completely messed up tonight. They finished 4th in the league with 67 points. It's not a coincidence. They're not that good. It reminds me back in 2012 when they won it. They...

It shows how bad this Champions League is this year if Chelsea won it. They're not even that good of a side.

5 teams. The top 4 and the team that wins the Europa gets an extra spot.

Ole showing his lack of experience. Didn't make a sub till the 100th minute. You could tell the Utd players were getting tired after the 75th minute. You can't fully press all game like that and expect your players to not get tired. Villarreal get Champions League from this. Well done to them!

I think Ronaldo will go back to Utd in any case. Messi could join City. Say if we get a really big fine and have no Champions League money next season, we probably can't afford to keep Messi in any case.

We'd be fucked without the Champions League money. Also, if they give us a 75m euro fine, that would put us one step closer to bankruptcy.

So.... we're replacing a 33-year-old Suarez with a 33-year-old Aguero. We're also replacing a 31-year-old Rakitic with a 31-year-old Gini. I'll let you decide which of those players is better.

Do they get a trophy for finishing 2nd?

Well.... you can say what you want about Bartomeu, he did all he could to keep Messi here another year. Laporta hasn't even spoken to Messi yet.

Not only that.... despite them being best friends, they also have no chemistry on the pitch whatsoever.

So special that they happily let him leave for nothing.

Nah. If you win the Champions League for the first time, it would only increase your hunger to win it more. The City owners will make sure of it. They've always back their managers.... and I don't see it ending anytime soon.

Laporta will see it as a win from getting Messi down from 1.2m a week to 500k a week. I've said all I needed to say about Laporta. But I don't have the same faith in Laporta as other people do.

I think Man City will be in for him if Messi decides to leave. I just think they're sitting back and being respectful. There is no way Pep misses the chance to sign Messi.
