Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[DonAK]

The football world defines himself new. In 20 years players like braithwaite will get the money which messi has got. Football will die.

Sounds like you're already dying from being butthurt at Messi being in Paris while your man is stuck in Turin.

Messi said his camp fielded several calls after Barca's announcement, and another source confirmed that*Atletico Madrid, after signing Suarez last year, had sounded out a potential deal. They thought it was possible at €20m gross for the first year, which was what he would have earned at Barcelona next season

B-b-but top managers don't want Messi because he doesn't run/press enough

 

[DonAK]

The only athlete I've ever seen leave money on the table is Tom Brady and his wife's net worth is almost twice his.

You pay transcendental players whatever you want and can to keep them. The rest you keep in line.

And last I checked CR7 isn't even near what Messi got.




Had to hear for the last year how much Messi brought in revenue so people could people justify that moronic contract he got. Then it was "Messi is taking a paycut why are you complaining" , while his moronic wages just got deferred. The last one is Messi couldn't take a further "paycut" because of some magical Spanish law.

And people are telling me Messi hasn't a propaganda behind him.

Barto had to give him the money otherwise he would have probably left much earlier.

 

[malvolio]

That is my main complaint about Messi and his clan. Lad wants to be a billionaire just from salary alone (if he isn't already).

Should complain about every football player then. More than half our squad is overpayed.

Huge contract was part Barto being Barto, part Neymar leaving for PSG and big part Messi being top dog and bringing in huge money.

But hey, let's cry about Messi getting what other clubs would have payed him anyway

 

[DonAK]

Yeah, Messi's high salary ruined us when Ousmane Dembele is making 20m this season.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Personally I don't think he would have left , we just had a retard as a president who dished out huge contracts left and right , no matter who the player was.

Yeah probably the real reason, barto fucked us massive.

Dont forget

550m vs 20m lol

 

[Messigician]

Messi wage like paying a 150m transfer fee every season NOT sustainable

 

[Sailor Mars]

Barto was just a bad negotiator. That story about Barto and how negotiated with Dortmund for Dembele is enough to prove that.

Messi probably would have wanted to be the highest paid footballer in the world, but Barto for sure overpaid. I'd love to play him in Poker, he'd fold so early.

Anyway, stop dreaming about Messi's return after 2 years as it won't happen while the current board is here. So chances are high that we won't see him in a Barca kit ever again.

He is done playing for the club, I don’t think he will ever be back as a player anyways, even if he left on good terms or with a different president in office.

Just wanted to get him a proper send-off and we move forward.

 

[suckabov]

Wouldn't rule it out for him to return after 2 years once emotions have cooled down as I don't see him moving his family to the US. Even though it seems unlikely at the moment. A lot can happen until then, good or bad. I think his future also depends a lot on how Argentina will fare in the WC and how at home he will feel in Paris.

It's partly his wife being insanely rich and it's partly him being psychotic about winning. Messi loves winning as much as anybody but Brady/Jordan are pathological about it.
