Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[skyblues]

Has Raheem picked up an injury or something?

No but we just signed Torres. If Messi comes in the right wing spot is forever taken. Or he’ll play with KDB in midfield. But then Foden, Mahrez, Bernardo, Torres and Sterling would all be fighting over left and right wing.

He can terminate his own contract and leave for nothing.

All we'd need to do is give him a fat sign on fee and £300k in wage to make up for what he's making at Barca.

If as TH says big meeting on some yacht, details sorted, must be

Is he out of contract already, or would there be a fee involved?

It depends on how the legal teams interpret his clause.

Messi thinks he is a free agent. Barcelona thinks he is their player and 700 M are needed to get him.

Maybe Barça will come to terms with his decision and try to negociate an amicable fee later on instead of going in court.

£20 M sign on fee + £300k per week = the same as giving him £684k per week for the first year.

He'd be a free and it wouldn't totally fuck the wages.

IF he can leave on a free then a number of clubs are in play for this very reason.

Most of top clubs in Europe would think nothing of paying him 300k/week and giving him a hefty signing on fee.

With that being the case it comes down to a couple of other considerations

1) Will Messi and his agent leverage his offers against the competing clubs to get the best offer?

2) Will Messi's current Nike endorsements prevent him from considering a move to a club with a rival manufacturer?

3) Will Messi take into consideration his past relationships with Pep, Ferran and Txiki and decide those take precedent over 1 & 2.

Basically, there's any number of ways this could go

I'm assuming we have Bmers that live not too far from Ringway. Someone, get your arse down there. And don't leave til you see a Lear jet coming in from Northern Spain. We'll organise a rota of helpers to keep the lucky fella supplied with fresh flasks of tomato soup, and plentiful ham barms.

Fuck me did i set an alarm off in Paris with that?

Its all good fella, you can spend whatever the fuck you like for me and the rest of the footballing world can suck our big fat ones for all I care.

No, that was yet another French riot... over the weather or something.

According to Twitter @footballespana Manchester United are in pole position to sign should he leave Barcelona
City’s United, Pep vOle if that be the case he is only interested in money

Kelly Slater in surfing is known as the GOAT - 11 time world champion though he hasnt won it for a few years.

The "from England" part is all you need to know that it's fictional.

Maybe "transfer" means the Glazers are selling the club to him?
