superfrank8 23 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Seriously, I checked the instagram account, hes actually following us Chelsea FC on instagram.. bad thing is hes following city too. That would be a fucking nightmare if he goes to city.If hes coming, please god come to us!If he's following City and Chelsea then the most likely reason for me is that two of his very good friends Aguero and Fabregas are there..

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The following scene is a clear indication that he wishes to leave and is starting a bidding war between us and City. Totally not against this move at all but 200m just seems too much.120 to 150m would be a fair deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Hate Scouse 10,330 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 He follows Filipe and Tibo too..They both played for Athleti to be fair. Not unusual for players in the same league to mingle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobematabryant 400 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Although this is most likely bullshit, I would love Messi at Chelsea. I'd be happy if we had to pay more than 100m for him. He is worth all of it. But no way Barcelona are selling him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledg 644 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The point is he's following Chelsea from a few hours now. Dunno about City.Plus why Tibo and Luis too? They're neither argentinians or ex-Barca players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Try examining the situation as a whole. Messi has massive tax issues in Spain, so much so that he's now before a judge which is the first time a player in La Liga will be put before a judge for taxes(Real Madrid players Xabi Alonso and Iker Casillas and tennis star Rafa Nadal all settled out of court) he's already paid 50m in fines for his tax charges. He won't have that problem in England and will likely be protected better against such charges.His wife was seen with Fabregas and Cesc's girlfriend during the last international break in London. They are very good friends.Chelsea and Messi share the same sponsors in Adidas and Turkish Airlines, it would make perfect sense for both parties to be on the same side, no?(Messi and Chelsea, can only be good for business practices)The Director was fired for what? is Barca underachieving? or has the situation just become untenable? Seems like a weird day to just wake up and say "oh you know what, I haven't liked Chelsea on instagram yet." Then his wife says the same thing "Oh shit I haven't liked Chelsea on twitter yet!" and then finally Cesc's fiancee decides to like the notion that he is now following Chelsea. They are close, very close.I'm not dismissing it, if Messi is truly unhappy where could he go? London is the most realistic destination in all honesty and his best friend is here.You're right. Not denying any of that. But it's still not enough to say he's going to sign for us. But like someone else posted. I'm just trying to keep myself in check because it's almost too good to be true that we could actually sign Messi. Hell I'd probably keep dismissing all the news until I actually see him holding the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 They both played for Athleti to be fair. Not unusual for players in the same league to mingle.But why our players? Why not follow Alexis Sanchez? Or Ozil? Or Navas? Why only our players that played in La Liga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDY 1,290 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Pros- A new challenge. He has achieved everything at Barca & is at an age where it could be a last chance to play at a high level in another league. Won every trophy to win, is La Liga highest goalscorer, and Barca's highest goalscorer.- The tax issue in Spain- His wife loves Cesc's bird- The Adidas/Turkish Airlines connection- All these little social media teasesCons- Seems a little coordinated just to put pressure on Barca- Funding the transferHighly unlikely but if it did ever happen it would instantly propel us as one of the truly elite clubs in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Following things seems a warning shotAgainst this transferDeclined as a playerTransfer fee £200mTax issues which will take his attention awayTeam balanceNot really. Sometimes he just seems very unmotivated. The current Barca team is very average. There is no midfield and Messi often has to drop very deep and play as a midfielder and create chances for others because no one in the midfield does it.

Hell I'd probably keep dismissing all the news until I actually see him holding the shirt.Weird because I think its more popular to say it won't happen then it might. Most people will try to act like its a ludicrous rumour because to suggest there might be something to it means you know nothing about football to some.I for one think there are factors involved that make it plausible the least of which are him following Chelsea on Twitter or instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
