Was Chippy spelling of ect. (etc.) predictive text?g180aj said:Sorry predictive text haha was meant to say etihadjohnmc said:g180aj said:we could easily get around ffp by getting ethics to sponsor him to make up his wages and reduce his wages. If he earns £250,000 a week that's £13mill basic plus bonuses say £3-4mill for goals trophies etc then ethics sign a sponsorship deal for £8mill that's around £25mill a year, he currently earns around £24mill a year from Barca allegedly.
What's ethics?
Simple economics. Lionel Messi would turn us into a club of world stature. The resulting growth in income from Sponsorship, match day income, Plus helping us win the Champions league, would help us become one of the biggest and best clubs in the world. Priceless.

So an extra 3 million a year is going to cover the messi deal? Chelsea have come out and said any deal for messi can't be done. Which is probably right, it's just impossible to spend the amount of money that is being branded about, with ffp still in place. Like I've said, the only way of getting messi is to come up with some dodgy deal.

If this is true, we would have a dictator on our hands if we sign him

He may be a great player but I smell a heap of trouble. We don't want someone who will wield all the power on and off the pitch. The beautiful game is a team game not about one individual. Like in any team one bad apple can spoil the rest. Whilst you only get a media perspective on someone which is the same for all public figures, I don't like the smell of this one. He only gets might vote if he offers to buy everyones season ticket for life out of his loose change.

Not at all. Part of the problem is that at Barca Messi is the King. If he doesn't play they don't win. Since Pep left, even while Pep was there at times, they were a one man team for all their pretty football. You took Messi out of the side and they were beatable. We aren't that and he'd be coming into a team where he could relax, enjoy his football, and play without the insane pressure in Barca.
No doubt he's a bit of a prima donna, but in a dressing room with Kun, Zaba, etc. at a club with Txiki, Ferran, Manuel, etc. He'd be fine.
I love the smell of it and would happily pay an extra £100 for my season ticket to see the best player on the planet and arguably of all time line up in a City shirt.Blackcrowes said:He may be a great player but I smell a heap of trouble.
