Imagine the England team? They might actually be a joy to watch having 6 City 1st teamers lol

Why would he chose ten over 47?

Not sure if he would but read an article where he states the only other number he would choose is number 10

His grandad died at age 47 on the 10th of the month he died.

Didn't say what month just that those two numbers mean the most to him

Would the MLS salary cap allow a huge wage and a huge signing in fee?

I’m not clued up on the MLS but iirc the salary cap is, in truth, a salary budget that includes an annualised portion of the purchase price, agents fees, signing on bonus et al. I think there’s some room for adjustment but I didn’t think it would be adjustable enough to factor in a commitment for tens of £millions deferred and then passed forward into the MLS on top of the Messi high salary, signing on bonus, agents (Dads) fees, etc?

I’m not saying it can’t be done, I just don’t understand how it can be achieved under the MLS system.

If the MLS had even a sniff of getting Messi to play in their league then they would move heaven and earth and do everything in their power to make it happen. Full houses everywhere he plays. Would make Beckham going there look like Alex Buttner signing a contract extension

Is there two more unlikeable english players , rags and dippers aside

 

[LongsightM13]

Harry, Jack, John, Phil?

It's a return to yesteryear, when Jim and Dereks were doing the business in a City shirt.

Apt for an 80s YouTube soundtrack!

Pah, I’ll see your 80s synth pop and raise you WWI morale boosting tunes from 1918...

There will be a very strong English core to our team with Kane and Grealish added

I don’t see them as unlikeable, just players taking advantage of what they can get away with.

If they sign for us they will learn that the refrees won’t be as leanient anymore.

I accept that he’d be loved by the MLS but that doesn’t answer the question.

The point I was referring to was a statement that said that, if we got Messi, his huge signing on bonus and a portion of his huge wages could be deferred until he went to NYCFC and then paid to him through NYCFC.
My though was that the salary cap (which is in fact a control system that annualises all cost involved in purchasing / employing / rewarding players) could frustrate such an intention.

So, as loved as he would surely be in the MLS, could NYCFC pay him £150+million per annum (deferred salary & signing on fee + agents fee and actual salary & signing on fee + agents fee)?
Would the other clubs in the MLS drag the MLS through the courts if they ripped up the rules to allow NYCFC to pay whatever they wanted to Messi?

I kinda doubt it because, to my mind, it would be directly at odds with the salary cap system.
However, I’ll be delighted if someone who knows how the system would deal with such a situation could please explain.

Designated Player. Would only count for about £450k towards the salary cap system from what I understand

Has the tide changed completely from Haaland to Kane?

Imagine if we end up with someone like Ings haha
