10 - Lionel Messi - v1

[kroki223]

Back to the interview with Messi in Képes sport. I've taken this newspaper in my hand, and I 've read the name of the author, who wrote this, and he wrote his name and the next text: by ********* It was a translation.

Did he any mistakes? I don't think so. I changed my opinion.

 

[Het_fenomeen_Messi]

there is no way that Leo was in Juvenil in 2003\2004

from wiki:

Messi played in Barcelona's junior Infantil B and Cadete B & A teams from 2000 to 2003 (scoring 37 goals in 30 matches in Cadete A). Season 2003–04 saw him on a record[29] five different teams: He started one match in Juvenil B (one goal) and got promoted to Juvenil A (14 matches, 21 goals). Later he debuted for FC Barcelona C team (Tercera División) on 29 November 2003 and for FC Barcelona B (Segunda División B) on 6 March 2004. He played for both teams during the season (eight matches, five goals and five games, zero goals, respectively).[30][31][32] Even before these two debuts, Messi made his official debut for the first-team on 16 November 2003 aged 16 years and 145 days, in a friendly match against Porto.[33][34]

I've just read that Messi's salary is 10 million Euros a season, almost 4 behinds the likes of Wayne Rooney and Yaya Toure. This surely can't be the case? Messi should be on twice the amount that they pull in.

And just for argument's sake, I could care less how much footballer's earn, just asking for the sake of asking.

 

[Barcaman]

Why would it matter if he earned less than them? City has a private owner who's a multi-billionaire and can spend without any control, while Barca are club owned by their fans.
Besides, they had to pay them those ridiculous wages as they wouldn't have joined them otherwise in the first place.

 

[AvocadoCake]

Wait till you here how much Eto'o earns...

Amen.

 

[xavisionary]

Why would it matter if he earned less? He's the best in the world at what he does by a country mile, so logic dictates he should earn the most money. He's still the richest by sponsorship, but on pure salary, it's crazy that a player like Toure - admittedly very good, but will be forgotten of in the next generation - earns 40% more a year than him.

 

[Alcantara]

I've just read that Messi's salary is 10 million Euros a season, almost 4 behinds the likes of Wayne Rooney and Yaya Toure.

I don't know about his salary but he is surely the best paid player in the world including wages, bonuses, sponsorships and endorsements.

Barça can't afford it we aren't City. Why is it that hard to understand? If you think it's only 'fair' for him to earn more, feel free to give him whatever you feel like.
Messi never complained about his wages so I don't see why fans should complain.

Messi's total income is quite high, it seems he wants some things more than making more money. He seems to be more interested in playing on a team that can pay for truly talented teammates, rather than maximizing his team salary.

Since Barca is approaching 500 million euros a year total revenue, there is no valid argument that Messi is worth less than 100M euros a year to the team. What other players earn is not relevant in his case, he is an entirely different level of entertainment commodity.

you gotta love Ray.

It's not that hard to understand, it's just puzzling. To me, it's like a tennis player winning Wimbledon but a quarter finalist getting the bigger pay check. I'm sure Leo cries every night on a big pile of money anyway.
