Dipsis_LTU_MC said:Why we need Messi? Are you so stupid? His release price is 250 milions. Mangala + Shaw + Barkley + Pogba + Suarez + Isco + Arturo Vidal + Thiago Silva = 250 milions. What would you choose: Mangala + Shaw + Barkley + Pogba + Suarez + Isco + Arturo Vidal + Thiago Silva or just Messi? If you choose just Messi, I will cut my hand off in front of all of you.

Mangala 35.5 million
Shaw 32 million
Barkley minimum 20 million
Pogba 60 million
Suarez 80 million
Isco 30 million
Vidal 35 million
T. Silva 30 million
that's 322.5 million, plus all the extra wages, which a conservative figure would be around an extra 46.8 million per season over a 5 year average contract comes to another 234 million and they have none of the marketing or exposure potential.
and that's being conservative with those figures, presuming every club will sell, every player will want to sign and that we can keep them all playing and happy.
Stop playing FIFA so much, it's a good game, but it's not real :)

Yes it's logical he will keep his image rights but the deal for him can still be viable through the extra sponsorship revenue alone. Our deals with Etihad and Nike are by no means the best out there. With the world's best footballer in your team then it's justifiable to get at least parity with the best sponsorship deals at Real Madrid, Man Utd and PSG, without falling foul of FFP. Shirt sales, a bigger stadium filled and extra TV exposure will also help.Scouse_Jimi said:In this alternate universe where you do manage to sign Messi - he'll keep his image rights as he currently does at Barca - why would he give up that amount of dosh playing for the most marketable team in the world...

Not forgetting to help fill out the 15k extra seats we will have soon, not that I think we will need much help but Messi would guarantee it.

Am sure a £120m offer would make them and him think!
