Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[fulabeer]

Apparently he earns something like 400k a week after tax so they're not wrong

Are they fuck. Messi is leaving (probably) because of Messi's wage.

Laporta press conference coming up. We might get more meat on the Messi bones.

Are they fuck. Messi is leaving (probably) because of Messi's wage.

If Messi played for free this year, Barcelona still can't afford to register him.

 

[Phil Mitchell Foden]

Because we support Manchester City FC and not Harry Kane's Feelings FC and want what's best for City.

100%

Fuck Harold and Levy.

Griezmann refused to leave. He's one of Barca's highest earners.

I'm not saying he's the only reason, but they're not wrong in the sense that him staying has played a role in Messi leaving.

A deal like this would take months to complete even on a free transfer, we have three weeks left in this window. I'll be amazed if Messi kicks a ball before next January

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Yeah, could be the reason why City aren’t falling for it this time and fully focusing on Kane.

? - top rate of income tax in France is 45%, same as here.

 

[hihosilva]

City have been linked with Messi since Sheik Mansour took over the club. 12 months ago we were balls deep in for him so what has changed?

Are we?

Months?
Do you live in a cave?

 

[markbmcfc]

Just get NYCFC to sign him and loan him to us.

Can you imagine the frothing.

Barca and Real are rejecting this CVC deal in Spain. Vote going to all clubs in top 2 tiers. From what I can see CVC have tried this deal with Germany and Italy and not got it over the line. Barca and Real are commited to Super League and the deal apparently kills that. Stinks of Barca and Real giving up some of their one-sided TV rights and Super League ambitions unfortunately with the backdrop of Tebas wanting to stick the knife in to the big boys backed up by the other clubs.

At first I thought the money would allow Real to bankroll Mbappe and maybe say a Salah. Galactico signings back on the table etc. And likewise, Barca can get Messi on the books. But they won't sacrifice SUper League for ANYTHING

I agree I think the Super League is their no1 priority. IMHO

El chiringuito looks sensational

This is how we all feel logging into the Messi thread;)

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Are we?

I’m not sure, I was just suggesting that could be City’s thinking.

 

[BlueRockape]

Delooney says Messie to PSG so that's that ; )

He’s a free agent so he can sign for any club outside of the transfer window.

Decided to film a short video on this before heading out for the day if anyone fancies a watch. I think I'm being more than reasonable!
