How can they afford all this ?

Who cares, good on them

Exactly mate, not worth beating ourselves up over.

Like our noisy neighbours they’ve obviously been on the blower to Ocean Finance….

So Messi was a lifelong Barca fan and desperately wanted to play for HIS club.....until they couldn't pay his wages.

 

[J.G.Blue.]

He's alright I agree with you there but I don't think he's got what it takes to get to the next level with PSG.
Having said that their team picks itself and I'm sure they don't need teamtalks and tactics.
Give it Messi or Give it Neymar or Give it Mbappe.
Ouch.
Having said that sometimes a dreamteam front three don't always hit it off.
We had a lethal front line of Barry Conlon, Lee Bradbury and Craig Russell but they just didn't click when it mattered.

Im willing to bet thats the first time Messi & Barry Conlon names have ever been mentioned in the same conversation!

Well it seems psg were the only team infor him that could remotely afford his wages, we as a club have moved on from last summer and that is to our benefit.

We got grealish, sign Kane. We have the backbone of the generational talent in this country with raz, foden, stones and walker- over messi who never wanted to move clubs anyway.

Even though on paper psg are a fifa 21 team...there is not actual guarantee it will pan ou the way they want, like some have said that psg team didnt function well when the going got tough against us in last seasons CL.

If we meet them in the CL bring it on, we have the ability to knock them out again.

Ps - goodluck pochettino cos' if it even slightly stops functioning as the owners/players want then the rougb times will be inbound asap

Will be interesting to see how they set up. I think looking at the squad they need to set up a bit like Liverpool and just pack the midfield three with runners who can cover the spaces left by the full backs and wide men. Not sure Poch is the guy to knit it all together but we’ll see what happens.

PSG have overtaken the rags for followers on Instagram over 10m new followers alone yesterday lol

I do think there window has been a bit exaggerated how good it is by the free transfers. Would be interesting to see how inflated the signing fees were to truly see how good of a window it is.
The rest of the signings are good players, the keeper could become the best in the world but right now doesn't guarantee much. The rb fantastic going forward, is he great defensively? Winji and Ramos aren't as great as people make out just my opinion tho. Really its down to the front 3 blowing teams away for them to win the cl. Which tbh could happen.

All Messi fans around the world. Most of them will pack their bags after two years. But good marketing. Credit to them for pulling this off. It remains to be seen how they perform in field.

PSG paying him roughly £1m in wages per week.

No wonder he was crying.

As happy as a pools winner.

Press conference now wonder if someone ask how you going to comply with ffp when you predict a loss of 300m this year?

But of bullshit but
Fair play rules? Al-Khelaifi: Thanks for the question. I was waiting for it. For us, we apply the rules of fair play from day one. When we sign a player, it means we have the ability to do so legally. What Leo brings to the club is a huge thing.

 

[citytill1die84]

Says the numbers they'll earn in 3 days will shock everyone.

Stop thinking about the negatives and focus on the positives

 

[Blue Maverick]

Got to admit watching that press conference I’m gutted he’s not come to us

One day of shirt sales should cover it...

Didn't have the balls to come to the Premier League if you ask me and he's probably right, I don't think he'd have lasted. 50/50 that this bullshit all happens again next year but it ends with a return to Barca.

I think his friends were the major reason. Argentine players, neymar, Argentine coach.If we had aguero he would have without doubt been with us just like last year(provided that we were in race for him).

I don't think so. Maybe a London team because these 'superstars' think that's all there is, but there were too many obstacles. La Liga don't want to concede to PL, Barca don't want to concede to Pep/Txiki/Ferran, Qatar don't want to concede to UAE, PSG reps on UEFA & UEFA don't want to concede to City.

There was less than a 0% possibility of him coming to us.
