I personally can't see a deal getting over the line. I would love him at City and to be fair, I would love it if any PL club got him. It would be pretty special having him play in the PL week-in, week-out. IMO of course I reckon he would get twatted off the park a fair bit...

champers Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I see the horrendous City 3rd kit I previewed a few pages ago has now been confirmed by the Premier League; not all my predictions are skew whiff. As awful as it is, City fans can take solace from the fact that the Wolves away kit is even worse.

Bredbury Blue Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 There's a great article on The Athletic this week about City's kits. The crux of it was that City and our kit manufacturer (Nike before, Puma now) know exactly what's popular with City fans (traditional blue home kit, red and black stripes away kit), but that's what's popular with the over 30s, whereas the kit designers go for the kiddies market and the younger crowd with the 2nd and 3rd strips, consequently last season's kit below was a very popular seller. City's away kit for this season (the black one design based on Castlegate) is drawing loads of plaudits. So Champers, seems you and me are not the market they design kits for.

Maybe not as much as Maradona did but he still gets some rough treatment. Make no mistake he is a tough little <deleted>. I think most football fans would like to see him go to Juve and link up with Ronaldo. Doesn't look like it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate my lot are not title contenders so has little effect on me him playing for another team. Personally I think it would be a tragic shame if we never saw the worlds greatest footballer ever not to grace our league. Im happy to forgo a potential whipping for that to happen.

If Messi does come, it won't be that shirt that the supporters put his name on. The home kit is growing on me although definitely not one of my favourite home kits but the first away kit is nice. I reckon that'll be a big seller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
