Lionel Messi - v7
- Thread starter Barcaman
- Start date
He absolutely is one of the top athletes in the world today in terms of marketing. Third most followed athlete on Instagram.
Not comparing sporting achievements obviously.

City experience is still fairly young.
If they can add couple of EPL titles and add such marketable name like Messi, it is still win for them, and even for Messi.
I don't know much.
But for me, when I think of Laporta I think of guy who put his faith in people and let him work. This is how he worked in his first time.
I would like to know who is his sidekick? Last election if he won it would have been Abidal, which is bad.
Can he get someone like Rijkaard or LVG as high profile advisors? I think that will help us tremednously.
This is what make or break for me with Laporta.
And I don't have problem with people against him, but the whole "plan" thing is a bit off. It is usually empty promises anyway and elections is long way to go for him to present a plan.
People want him to be going on same timeline as Font? who is unknown and need to make name for himself, so have to work extra year to compete.

Basketball isn't that big for MJ to be above them tbh. isn't it way behind cricket and football?

Dude we got it, you don't like Messi.
YOU HAVE ZERO PROVE OF WHAT KOEMAN said to Messi & what's Messi answer but you love to jump on garbage like that.
People asking Messi to talk against the board wtf ? since when players do that ? that would be the most garbage thing a pro player would do.

MJ still sells 10x the amount of shoes LBJ does 20 years in retirement. And I think he's more globally recognized than Lebron is, even today.
Not to mention is the standard for greatness in sports (admittedly, I'm biased).

Jordan is a cultural icon dawg.
His brand extends far beyond basketball into sports, fashion, music, film etc...
He has more reach than any athlete out there.
He honestly doesn't give a shit.
We just lost 8-2 and he's making out our sporting project is strong.

Well, obviously since Lebron is still a basketballer too. I was talking in terms of over Messi & CR7.
I think Schumacher would have been among those too if it wasn't for his unfortunate accident.
That makes Neymar the Kardashian of football.

Now we know why Jorge Messi bought a house in Milan. He'll earn millions with Leo's move and won't have to pay taxes for it by simply paying €100.000 to the Italian taxman.

I agree about Schumi.
I think Lewis Hamilton has a shout in there too, when he ends up winning 8. He's got a formidable engine, but his flair and aggression are legendary.
There is nothing cooler than being called a "F1 Pilot", by the way.
