Sam Lee seems to be claiming that we've offered him a worse deal than he's on at the moment because we want to sign Messi.
I like Sam, but that is hilarious bullshit.
As if we're gonna offer the player of the year a fucking pay cut.
Do you seriously believe we would be stupid enough to offer him less than what he's currently on?Whatever the case. he has rejected City's first deal so its not been great offer anyhow.
The Times reported that.
Messi potentially rocking up on £100m a year salary means cuts elsewhere. Potential sponsors etc won't cover more than third of that.
Football clubs are littered with stupid mistakes. We were stupid enough to blow £42m on Mangala, so yeah its possible.Do you seriously believe we would be stupid enough to offer him less than what he's currently on?
Exactly,so he will be 32 when his contract ends,and,lets be honest,he isn't naturally athletic.I was going to tell you to wash your mouth out but he is 30 in the Summer surprisingly.
I'd have to disagree with that, he's always looked like he's got plenty of speed & stamina both. Besides which he'd probably drop deeper as he gets older I'd have thought.Exactly,so he will be 32 when his contract ends,and,lets be honest,he isn't naturally athletic.
