Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[SINCS]

Veronica Brunati seems to be the main source of info at the moment

Messi will take a huge pay cut to Play under pep

Gabriel Jesus valued at 100m
And will go the other way

Messi determined to leave

She said earlier in the day ‘the numbers have been agreed’, she later said ‘the numbers have not been agreed’. Not enough consistency here.

I wonder how Ake feels when hearing this could happen? Last month he was relegated with Bourmouth and now he is at City and could be looking at sharing a dressing room with Messi.

SSN sums up everything thats wrong in sports media, they still think its Circa 1982 with oudated ideas about football. Shirt sales hasn't been relevant to funding a player for about 15 years ! Why dont we see if the local butcher will give us a meat selection for the raffle prize at half time, who knows he may even sponsor todays match ball!!

I've heard they're doing name cards in Mary D's. Every little helps.

True. Shirt sales impact mostly your bargaining power in negociating with your kit manufacturer and ofc the sponsors.

What is interesting here is City was considering changing their main sponsor deal. Since those deals are almost always longer than the 2 year contract supposedly offered to Messi, you would recoup some money.

And let's be honest, City is not buying Messi to recoup the money but to try and be even more successful.

It does seem odd though adding an identical escape clause to the one he's currently planning on using to get out of his current club. Once bitten, twice shy and all that? Anyway I suppose with a player like this there needs to be that huge element of trust. Maybe it's similar to the way City have let Guardiola's contract run down, trust.

It is Messi. If he asks for that clause, you give it to him. The older he gets, the less likely other teams will try to poach him anyway.

As you said, you managed to keep Guardiola longer than Bayern Munich. If you are competitive (and you are), Messi has no reason to leave.

That's a fake pic surely..













That's defo 1 off the snide Chinese shirts..

Nothing strange with a two year contract with option to leave after 1 year imo. just is there to protect Messi in case he has a torrid time, family can’t settle , we have a terrible season etc all of which are unlikely.

We are a fantastic club to play for hence why we rarely lose our key players .

Has Benjani landed at Manchester yet?

That silly fucker is probably offside and grinning like a loon.

I don't understand the release clause. On the face of it it is simple but then we have the Webster ruling where players can buy out the last year of their contract which would render such a clause useless?

 

[Shredmonkey]

All I know is, if the dippers and rags are this bitter over a rumour the meltdown should we sign him would be amazing.

 

[kippax4ever]

It would be like his current clause at Barça. Makes sense. Salir definitely means leaving in spanish.

It's a anagram salir/ liars..

You’re not wrong, if the people serving would have speeded up we’d have pissed ffp.

Suppose its will be harder to sell 697 pints off piss at the stadium.

They make exceptions for special players in the MSL.

Read that a five year contract is on the cards with Messi moving to NYC eventually.
