Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[bobmcfc]

So he comes to us he wanted it all along and wants to try himself in Prem and play for Pep again

If he doesn’t he his a shithouse who could only do it at one club

perfectly summarized

His dads hopped on his private jet, flown across the world only to get folded like a cheap deck chair within an hour.

That is a fair point and true. My point is that they are under no pressure to start cashing in.

Of course like most clubs they can't afford 100m transfers this window but that revenue alone is enough to keep them afloat.

I’m not saying they have to cash in but from messi’s standpoint why stay. His last few years at the top will he spent playing with sub par players and for a team that can not compete with the best

Lionel spat his dummy out, daddy came over to pick up the pieces.

Why would he want to stay and play in such a shit side?

This latest "I'm staying" bollocks just doesnt sound right imo.

Money?
Power?
Another club not being able to afford him?

Who knows.

He already has those things mate.

It doesn't add up. At all.

Fact he's mates with Suarez is a bit of a red flag

They have over 200m pounds higher revenue than us. They are paying out crazy amount of wages (over 100m pounds more than anybody else) but they are not in deep shit.

Obviously these numbers are pre-covid but with that revenue there is always flexibility.

In the last year and a bit, they issued bonds 4 times. They completely destroyed their wage structure, now they're clearing out but Messi and Greizman make astronomical amounts.

They must be knackered.

Its a hard life being a footie player.

Maybe Ezzy is right. I'd laugh if he was right and we ended up signing all of the 6 players he said.

 

[lazerblue]

its just bogging us down, move on and forget it, the season starts in just over a week ffs, we dont want to start with all this wrangling goin on it'll just be a distraction, we cant afford a slow start

We'd have to sign them last week if you're holding out for him being right.

I imagine they’ve moved on to swingball pro now

 

[FCBarca]

I do wonder whether he has offered something to Messi that he can't refuse, so maybe it's not so much against his will..

No chance. Leo won't even meet Bartomeu

Rock & a hard place

Suarez is currently leading 1274-96.

You've absolutely nailed it. The 8-2 defeat and not winning La Liga plus personal issues between himself and Bartomeu upset him and in a fit of pique he decides he wants out and there's his old boss at man City ( a club that's been courting him for years) ready and willing to take him. Then reality kicks in, in the form of Bartomeu playing hardball, and Messi caves in like a spoilt child.
