With City having absolutely no fans maybe he could fill one of the 50,000 empty seats at the Etihad

Think he’d be drooling about playing in midfield with Fred & Mctominay,we couldn’t compete for him

Even at 40, Messi could turn Maguire inside out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

setting a very high bar there.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think so.
Maguire is a very average defender coming from Manchester United standards.
Messi is the best of the best and it's been shown many times before that you do not need speed to beat the great Harry Maguire.

Best player in the world if blah blah

Worst player if blah blah

Something about Dundee Utd

Haven’t seen him play

Will Messi get in the City team ahead of Foden?

Hope he does join then hope he flops.

I can't stand City, all these great players and nobody really cares they haven't managed to make the jump to the same level as the historic clubs in the imagination of supporters.

It's like yeah they are good but do we really care, they don't have enough fans to make an impact.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

An impact on what? Our fanbase size? It has grown significantly already, particularly globally, and this absolutely would have an impact though. We’re fans though, not football owners seeing it as a business, so I’m not sure why anyone would remotely care about that anyway.

Apart from the fact he will be joining City, how excited are people about the prospect of Messi coming to the PL? He’s not at his peak but is still very good and in a side with KDB those two could be devastating.
================

I don't really approve of glory hunters, and the fact they are re-writing history with bought - purchased titles, I would be overjoyed to see him play in the premier league!
Even at this age, he is great to watch and he can still showcase his techniques!
Bring him on!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That’s not rewriting history.

I couldn't figure that one out either.

Nailed on that Lionel’s on his way to the Etihad now

Messi has gone past his peak now so not sure he makes them title favourites. Definitely improves them though there are still questions about whether he can do it on a cold, wet evening at Burnley.
