Ballon d`or winner 2015

Congratulations Lionel you little genius :-)

Well that will be his last if he joins us, the media and the establishment won't allow him to get anywhere near selection for anymore!!

No, they definitely do. I can't find a link for their pdf file but I used it last time this discussion came up. Exactly the same as our direct debit scheme, interest free payment once every 10 months.

They've also just announced they're set to have season ticket prices frozen for a 5th consecutive year next season:

I'd be very surprised if we had a freeze this summer. And we used to deride the scum for shitting on their support for the £.

And they do, but we're just as bad now, if not becoming worse.

And repeat. Zzzzzz

yet another hat-trick today for barca, staggering!!!

If he does come, it'll only take a defeat to someone like Stoke and two games without a goal and some on here will be saying he was a waste of money and calling for the EDS lads to get a game.

Messi will want to retire in Argentina surely, so if we spend such a huge sum of money we might expect to have him for what, 3 years until he's 32? He's 29 in June.

Can we recoup the expense in that time from him being here? Or does the money not really matter?

If I was making the decisions at Barca, I'd be heavily leaning to selling him as now is the time to cash in if they need money to reinvest. They have an ageing squad in other positions that need to be addressed.

Why would Messi want to retire in Argentina? He never played in Argentina, he's been at Barcelona since he was 13. Moreover why should anyone pay £200m to release from contract plus £1m/wk wages for a 29 year old is beyond me.

You can buy 6 really good players or 2 Neymars with that money. As the article already says Barcelona can cope without him, so can any club.

Totally wrong thread so apologies mods but -

You seem to be the expert on United season tickets (although it's a shame you can't find this proof) so I'll give you that, however:

1. Perhaps their freeze is because a) they were too dear in the first place, b) they're crap and not worth what they charge, c) have they not struggled to sell them in recent seasons?
2. How many £299 & £380 (?) season tickets out of the 72,000 (?) seats do they sell?

Let's not forget the mandatory cup schemes, and season tickets being suspended if you don't comply:
