Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Stockport Blues]

What a player with the ball. Not sure how his walking without the ball fits in with our team ethos

Was about to say he literally doesn’t move out of possession has team mates running past him to press

Did the same under Guardiola, who wanted him to save his energy for attacking.

Fuck pressing. He can take a pen. Sign him up

When Dani Alves played there, he would constantly pass the ball to him to keep Messi in the game. He said this in an interview, when Pep questioned him about some “useless passes” he told him Messi gets disconnected from the game if he’s two minutes without touching the ball. With Koeman this happens a lot

He generates so much money he has greatly contributed to Barca's solid financial position I bet...

Barcelona fucked themselves when signing average players for fuck all. Liverpool signed two transformative players with the coutinho money. If Barca had done then when they sold Neymar they might’ve been a bit better off. They pay too much money to too many dossers

Based on watching that first half performance I think we might want to enquire what kiki musampa is up to.
Not seen him play for a while but that was shite, just walking around the pitch flapping like a penguin.
Takes a mean penalty though(sometimes)

Probably. But not really a better footballing opportunity though

Could they Really match our financial offer?

This is only feasible for us due to the fact that most of the €500m will be borne by other city group (or other clubs) with only the first 2/3 years specifically going through our books.

Do PSG own a club in America, or have a holding group with a host of clubs where it could be argued that he’s an ambassador for the holding club representing all the clubs not simply PSG?

I don’t doubt for the next 3 years they could match us but surely they couldn’t offer him a 8/10 year deal as we can only do so because of our structure???
