Are you forgetting Stoke? Even prime Messi was too scared to ever play in the Britannia on a cold Tuesday night. What more proof do you need?

A lot of people say this but I’ve never seen anything to make me doubt his workrate. Not saying this as a Liverpool fan, but given we have been City’s main rivals for essentially a whole decade we would make the most sense for him in the PL (I say this knowing he probably prefers the idea of Arsenal). Right now is a rare time where we could possibly afford him, if Salah is moving to Saudi we would have that windfall and the money that was put up for Caicedo must still be there too. That should cover his signing fee and wage demands but the big question is how we make his wages work in the current wage structure.
