Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[big phil]

Can’t see him being happy rotating with Gundog tho.

 

[Claytop]

Is he any cop at taking pens?

 

[northwichblue]

The media wouldn't be happy.
They would soon find something too hammer us for, or dig some dirt up on Messi. We'd be hated even more

 

[Rammy Blue]

Is he any cop at taking pens?

Funnily enough he’s actually pretty shit at pens so he will fit right in.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

We aint got £50M for any single persons yearly salary.

Of course we have. We could pay him £50m a week if there is any indication he would join.

How money arrives in Messi's bank account is nobody's business.

We would never know. We could pay him on £500k a week and the rest is down to us.

Neymar found likewise at Paris.

He suddenly found £47m for being an ambassador for the World Cup.

 

[WestGorton]

The greatest ever. Please please please yes.

Try £95 million per year. Assuming he didn't want a pay rise to leave Barcelona.

No.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Yeah but we'd have to lure Xavi and Iniesta outta retirement, he's useless without those two....

The premise of my argument remains the same.

He can ask whatever he wants, the cash would find its way to him in whatever guise or or form.

What is shown in the club's books is a different story.

I'm sure Lionel is still hurting after being told to hand back millions in unpaid tax.

Messi, to a club such as ours, doesn't cost us anything.

It's a trophy asset that is a licence to print money.

We are supposedly searching for a new shirt sponsor?

I wonder how much someone would be prepared to pay to have their name on our shirts, in the guaranteed knowledge he would be wearing it.

That's £100m a year right there.
