Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

Five year contract at 34 years of age. That’s madness. He’s still the best in the world, but you’d think any other football club would give him two years with the option of another couple. I do think he will be playing at a high level until he’s in his late 30’s, but you still wouldn’t take the risk of offering him a 5 year contact.

Tebas looks the other way and employs a wholly different set of standards for Barcelona as always a likely outcome

Sorry my message sounded more pedantic then I meant it to!

Ha ha, he has properly played Barca for the desperete idiots they are, 5 years.

Ah well we could always snatch fake ronaldo from under PSGs noses for shits and giggles I suppose this bit is a joke

Is the 5 years just a workaround for the wages?
Play for 2 years but spread the wages over 5.

Is this where we close the thread?

It's been emotional

See you all in 5 years

5 years for a 34 year old on about 500k a week is absolutely CRAZY

Be a few in here unable to accept this news.

Can't believe there were some who thought he was coming here

Do we let the thread die now, delete or move to classics ? Hmmm
