But we don’t know how many potential sponsors are lurking in the background. We don’t just rely on Abu Dhabi based sponsors for our commercial income and I’m sure we’d be even less reliant on them if Messi signed. I also don’t think that simply comparing the revenues of Barca and Real Madrid debunk the idea that Messi’s commercial appeal is out there on its own. Sure, Ronaldo is very marketable but Messi is in another league altogether IMO.

Why is comparing Barca's commercial revenue to Real or Bayern or United or City not relevant. If Messi is another league you would see Barca's commercial revenue significantly higher. It is not. These are important data points.

As for our reliance on Abu Dhabi partners, it is something like 80% from memory - the vast majority. There is no evidence that we have a queue of potential sponsors "lurking" just waiting for us to sign Messi. Anyway lets leave it there.
 
They will be sniffing with or without Messi signing. Why would that make a difference? Is it illegal?
I have no idea, I would think in terms of the Premier league this is unique?

Beckham when he went to the MLS was given the promise of a franchise, that seemed to be ok with UEFA/FIFA.
 
Did you read the article in the athletic? Explains it pretty well. Right now were roughly 100-140m in FFP profit.
No I don't subscribe any longer but I disagree with that conclusion and suspect it is not including the likely spending this Summer (Koulibaly etc) and you can't look in one year view anyway.
 
how many times has he played against great premier league teams? A lot.

he’ll be fine

I don't get this whole "more physical" argument. Like opponent's haven't spent the last sixteen years trying to bully and intimidate him. I've seen the guy spit out his fucking tooth at half time for Christ's sake. He does not give a shit.
 
It’s done. Messi’s dad only follows two footballers on Instagram - Messi and Aguero. He must have followed Aguero to privately message him and ask him to remove the 10 from his name.

I’m off to get my number 10 Messi full kit.
Don't forget your tattoo mate.
