Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[nmc]

Sky yellow ticker. Messi agrees 2 yr contract with PSG

He can keep up his incredible stats against the 'cannon fodder' in that league and focus on the 6 big games PSG play in the league each season (against teams with a budget a tenth of theirs) And he can really focus on CL almost exclusively. It's a good move for a 34 year old - high profile from a media perspective and partial retirement from a footballing perspective. Maybe Messi can make his debut against the mighty Stade Brestois 29 in 10 days time... in their 15,000 capacity ground... and an annual wage bill of 9m a year - significantly less than Lionel will earn in a year....

Haha! This idea that Messi has to prove himself to anybody at 34 years of age after being the best player on the planet for the last 15 years is ludicrous.

I agree about him being the best player on the planet but does seem a shame to waste probably his last year as the best in the world playing in that league

Why is he wearing the number 30? Is that the amount of families he could pay for every week with his salary? What a fucking joke

 

[Heath Park]

So is he going to Paris after all?
I can't keep up with the soap opera.
Will there be an Omnibus on Sunday?

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

He doesn't. But if he doesn't win UCL with Paris his last years will go up in smoke. League 1 trophies don't have any coverage

PSG not Portsmouth FC.

Would love to play PSG again this season. Would be an amazing match, probably the best XI in the world and I think we could beat them. Imagine that !

As long as it’s not in the final when Pep plays Sterling as the holding midfielder

Becase Neymar has 10 and Messi didn't want to take it off him as per reports.

Took the easy option like the other money grabbing twats that go threw the door at that club....no matter what you think of Ronaldo least he's had the balls to push and test himself

Ronaldo left Madrid to join a team that won 9 titles in a row up until this year. That’s greater dominance than PSG had in the French league.

Of course, I'm gutted we aren't all in for him after years of trying to get him.
It seems mental to me we've finally got the chance to sign him and only 12 months after being willing to offer 100m yet we've decided it's not worth it.
I think he's going to PSG not because it's easy and the money on offer but it's the only offer on the table.

You didn't just compare serieA to league 1. Lol
