Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[BufordUSABlue]

Personally I wouldnt have gone anywhere near Ramos but the other 3 are brilliant signings......We dont need a keeper but Donnarumma is excellent.

Wijnaldum would get into our squad and Messi is the GOAT so of course he would.

All for zero in trasfer fees (though it doesnt mention any signing on fees - not sure if there would be any?)

People righting it off because of Poch but he seems a decent manager and and decent person as well - i was happy when he didnt go to utd as it was rumoured at one point.

Other than the Poch ending, i would agree with you here.

I seem to remember the 'decent person' Poch having plenty to say about City and our spending when he was at Spuds !

Mbappe Neymar Messi that is the best front three in football. Its better than MSN. If they stay fit those three they'll carry that PSG team to the champions league no doubt.

Put down the PS4 lad.

Absolutely baffling that we gave PSG a free run. Truly baffling.

Couldn't be anymore pressure on Harold now if we actually complete the signing. 150 mil fee and the whole world knows we snubbed Messi for him.

You wanted to pay him a million a week after tax , us the most investigated football club in the world ?

Sky news reporting it as a done deal now:

The six-time Ballon d'Or winner had two other options after leaving Barcelona last week, but has chosen to move to the French club on a deal worth £25m per year after tax, plus bonuses.

So pre tax that’s 50 million per year PLUS bonus’s - I can see why we stayed clear of that shit - don’t care who you are or how good you are.

Probably the wife who made the decision for him a la Dani Alves..

if we could afford it last year hen we would have afforded it this year....

Dont think this is about the money/numbers. Its a choice between Kane and Messi - we clearly have been chasing Kane for months...we seemingly wont change our stance on this....which is a shame

Soon as the greedy dwarf signs I'm off for a celebration wank, in a bucket.

Even Barca with MSN for 3 years, with a prime Messi, didn’t make it past the Quarters in 2 of the 3 seasons, winning it the other. It doesn’t make them invincible.

PSG and Barca have interests in Qatar.

Politically it could have kicked off between them and the UAE had he signed for us. With the countries building their relationships back up. It makes sense why we haven't bothered.

Guess the only mystery now with both Messi and his dad in Barca is why his plane flew to Argentina this morning? Maybe the whole extended family are coming over for the big unveiling

Those fans waiting at De Gaulle today are in for a longer wait than expected then!

According to 'Orange Jordan' (legend in his own mind) on TS this morning, it is 1.1Million a week gross, so roughly 750K after tax Kaz. Personally, i wouldn't get out of bed in the morning for such a pittance but hey ho, its not like he needs money or anything like that is it? Hence why he joined the circus that is PSG and the easiest league in Europe, which they still managed to lose to the mighty Lille last season (along with the French 'Super' Cup as well!!)
