We were targeting Bertrand about 3 years ago and he was also 28 at the time, one experienced, one youth/long term. Walker is 30, age shouldn't be paid too much mind when addressing crucial areas. Koulibaly was 29, even though we didn't get him.
Most modern full backs can't defend. Else you end up with a Wan Bissaka who is shite going forward.He can't defend

surely with no fans in the ground more people are watching the games on the telly, so the tv deal should stay the same or even go upIt will and when the next TV deals come up for renewal , the sh1t will hit the fan
Football finances have peaked for me.
I hate to admit it, but your post makes a lot of sense. Even so, we're talking Messi. I am still inclined to believe he's the exception.He will be 34 , coming to a new league, considerably more physical and more demanding.
Messi is without doubt the worlds best player but he is not superman, age stops for no one.
We don't want to become Messi FC and we would if he arrived, the Pep situation is also a major factor. At this moment it does not look good that Pep would want to extend or for that matter the club would want to either. Pep does not look in a good way at this time, his time with us may be coming to the end, that may change, but at this moment we have far more serious issues to attend to than thinking about signing a 34yr old in 12 months time.

We have plenty of players that can attack though, we could do with a few more who can defend properly, even if they don't offer much else. Stop the cross or win the ball, then give it to someone who can actually play. That's how I play anyway!
I know of a lot of people who have canceled, watching sport with no fans is not good.surely with no fans in the ground more people are watching the games on the telly, so the tv deal should stay the same or even go up
People simply won't have the money to keep paying for it, once this pandemic ends the payback in terms of tax increases etc will be huge.

One of the potential benefits of signing Messi is that the PL would also benefit so... suddenly we get ahem.. the rub of the green.
