Messing in Action

[Donavan Ried]

Lol

Just Like Brois trying to renegotiate his Bexit deal

 

[Halmeister]

I'd take that Aguero story with a pinch of salt for the time being.

 

[ctlovesred]

I think Poch will have a devil of a time keeping the egos in line in that super team. Messi is accustomed to control and history. Will be like a soap opera

 

[Dreambeliever]

Heh good point. This is definitely not what Aguero signed up for.

Apparently wants out already

 

[SummerOnions]

Apparently wants out already

Wow where did you read that?

 

[Modo]

If we're mad at City for their financial shenanigans, imagine how mad the French teams are at PSG. Those poor teams don't have a chance.

 

[Halmeister]

And yet Lille won the league this season

 

[MomoWASright]

And yet Lille won the league this season

Just like city will this season

 

[Hansern]

PSG have signed Donnarumma, Gini and Ramos on a free. 60 mill for Hakimi, and now possibly a monster contract to Messi.
Talk about a big fuck you to FFP.

Good thing their Owner and chairman is on every board possible in UEFA etc.

 

[Modo]

And yet Lille won the league this season

Lol, that's true, can't believe I forgot that.
Still, it's just like us or Leicester winning the league. PSG have won 7 out of the last 9 championships.
Safe to say that if they really want it, they'll win it.

 

[Woland]

Yeah they just didn't want it last year

They'll walk it this year like

Probably wanted the CL more.

Taps nose.

I'm sure those crocodile tears dried up once he heard he was netting 35m a year or whatever it was.

 

[Modo]

Normally I'd feel sorry for the guy, but no one forced him to leave. If he really wanted to stay at Barca he could have taken a pay cut.

Was it Redondo who played for free at Milan after an injury?

Never heard that before.

Never heard that before.

Got it slightly wrong, still pretty cool.

Come on.

This is on the club, not Messi. They're the ones that handed out absurd contracts to players who wouldn't even get half of that anywhere else in the world.

He agreed a 50% pay cut. Why should he play for free when you've got other guys there in the dressing room that won't budge?

He did?
Well, that's a nice gesture. Too bad he caused problems last season too.

 

[Best Believe It]

No he couldn't. Even if he'd agreed to play for free Barcelona still couldn't have registered him. The mistake was letting his contract run out, because essentially they were trying to sign him on a free. Their wages as a proportion of income would have had to have been 70% in order to sign him on a free without paying him any wages. With him off the payroll wages are 95% of income.

 

[Best Believe It]

To add, Barcelona are fucked, and this has been on the cards since they sold Neymar.

He did

 

[StevieM]

The only thing sad about Barca’s demise, is that it’s one less club we can rinse some cash out of when we need to sell someone good to fund a few decent signings.

Equally PSG snapping up the likes of Messi means they’re less likely to be interested in getting fleeced as well.

 

[Best Believe It]

 

[SummerOnions]

So why are we not talking about Messi leaving was essentially caused by corner taken quickly?

We beat them so bad they almost literally collapsed

 

[Holle]

Exactly.

From €2.5m a week to a mere €1.25m a week.

No wonder they were fucked
