Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[MerlinsBeard]

Am I in the minority hoping desperately that we sign him? Greatest of all-time for me and the final piece of the jigsaw. Also get the feeling he would prefer us but expecting money (PSG) will determine it.

I just think we should be doing all we can.

They aren't allowed to register him

Even for free?

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

He isn't. 200 I heard.

171 plus bonuses.

 

[PragueBlue]

Why?

They couldn't register him due to already having too high a wage bill. So he couldn't have played for them even without a wage.

Not buying that. If it was one pound a year I would. I know it's hypothetical but free costs nothing.

 

[WestGorton]

Sounds about right

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

Even for free?

In summary: They aren't allowed to register him because they pay Antoine Griezmann and Frenkie de Jong €1.29 million a week, in addition to the other people they overpay.

They can't register him for free or 1 pound a year. Their wage bill is already too high and so under their league rules, they couldn't register anybody, including Messi.

Not with Ramos and Messi. Trojan horses.

What's a frozen horse?

Daft rule if for free but football is daft
