Let's ask Oracle/Ifa or Google.

Messi in premiership would boost ratings and viewership

mansakhalifa:
I said it here:

He is going to come the EPL thinking that it is anything like what obtains over in Spain. But then, at some point, he is definitely going to realise that the EPL, on its own, is a different beast entirely. Untamable.

To be honest, considering his age and other factors, I do not see him doing any sort of magic in the Premier League.

The only advantage that can come out of such a transaction is purely of the financial kind. City will definitely make loads of bucks from g that guy for sure. Think about all the branding, sponsorships and merchandising that could possibly follow a player of that calibre to the Etihad to start with. They won't even have to stress themselves.

But on the field of play... sorry, I don't see him doing anything special cos the factors in the EPL will curb quite a number of his excesses.

Just my stray thoughts.

lol then you don't know Pep
Messi will dominate EPL under Pep
Imagine KDB sterling guodogan as team mates
hardly seen a player flop under Man city Pep
he knows how to bring out the best from players even at old age
kompany was balling till he left man city
Same with David silver
fernadinho is 35 but still balling under Pep
Messi will dominate EPL under Pep
tho I'm not his fan.
CR7 remains the GOAT

yes and also no

He will bring attention, cash and fellowship... Not just trophies.. Makes them a complete business..

For me I just want him to change team...

Anywhere he goes, I no mind

To be honest Messi coming to City is not a good idea!!! City have all the quality players to win champions league trophy

Football is not just about kicking the ball, it is a business and Messi brings good business wherever he goes

same thing EPL fans said against pep guadiorla

He will only bring sales of Jerseys not UCL title

For Your Card Redeem Please DM...Check my signature for more info and thanks

Other than a free transfer with reduced wages, spending overboard for aging Messi will be plain stupid... That's not what City needs to stay flying high. Messi is in his twilights.

Haaland is exactly what Pep needs in that team more than anything else... A KDB-Haaland partnership will simply paralyze EPL for 2 seasons straight!

LMS1:
Dear Man City Pls Do Not Put All Your Egg In One Basin.
This Messi That You Are Hyping Anyhow What If After g Him At 35 Years He Start Devoloping Cancer Or Knee Defraction Or Chicken Pox Or Eye Problem Or Psyco Issues Or Covid-19 Or Even Typhoid ?
Is That Not Gonna Be Your Downfall ?

Mad man.

Pep is a coach who got the right players he required...

Messi is a player. Different ball game entirely... EPL will finish him off!!!

Liar.. To surprise u, Harland may come and not play anytin.... That's football..

The options with Messi is more than Harland... Messi can basically do everything Pep wants, not only on the pitch, even for the club image and revenue... Messi will bring much..


Think!!!!!!!

Losers epl.... Messi dominated all. The rubbish epl team

Messi would be a great addition to any team he chooses to play for.... that is all for me...

Forget your stray thought, Messi will always dominate.

EPL this EPL that. Mshteew!!

ThierryJay:


Why not? They'd have the best quality player in the world to cement their already good quality. The article explains it very well, not from the biased angle of Messi haters.

The person you quoted is a staunch hater

Without goal scorers, I'm talking about the mold of Aguero and Costa of the past, nothing for City... Not even with Messi.

Football has moved on from big names! These days, players don't give a shit who you were! You either step up, or get put down... Simple!

City needs to move up the step of constant improvement. Haaland in that attack gives them a huge edge ahead of every other team.

Haaland, Aouar, and maybe Grealish into that pack... And, Pep would have gotten exactly what Ferguson had years ago.

Football is more than a single individual, however great or massive he was... I have no hate for Messi, but the truth must be said! He is past it!!!

Calm down oga... Don't allow your awe of Messi becloud judgements!

The guy is good, but he is no where near the sterling quality he was years ago. Age has taken its toll.

He will probably do well enough, but EPL defensive players will have no headaches neutralizing him. This is as clear as day.

Haters yapping about how he’s old and finished so he won’t perform. If he’s signed, he’s gonna fit in perfectly and also he’s gonna win them the epl and ucl cos he’s the greatest of all time and no one comes close

Like Ronaldo at Juventus, Messi will just be more or less a badge. Useful for international matches only.

They need it o. Anything that will throw spanner in thier wheel of progress is welcome

#england-is-not-a-dumping-ground#

���� ... person wey him football career no dey end small small like corona virus

I want him in England so that all the talk of him not playing in England will end...I see Messi wearing Aguero's shirt number in Mancity next season.

You need to focus on profit and not revenue.
It will cost a load of money to sign and pay Messi. Man City may have to break the bank to get Messi signed. Did you see the recent revelation of contract with Barcelona? Why do you think clubs tend to offload players to be able to balance the books?

Yes, he might see some increase in revenue due to additional merchandise, branding and publicity but then these might not be able to cover for the cost of having Messi in Barcelona.

Man City will most likely gain in publicity branding and social media influence while hoping to win additional trophies. But money wise, I doubt sincerely.

Yes!,for marketing reasons

Man city will be totally unplayable with Messi.
I'll be glad to see him proving the doubters wrong
