Lionel Messi (11 Viewers)
- Thread starter JCK
- Start date
nobody knows who this guy is. 
Somehow i dont believe this 50 %, it could be applicable when there is an extention, but in Messis case the contract ended month ago, how the hell can league say he cant sign for less than 50 % of the old one then? Thats total bullshit for me.
Also if Barca were so desperate to keep, why they kept signing players who like Aguero, Depay and also tried Wijnaldum.
Aguero definitely gets 10 m + net and Depay probably gets around 5-6m. They knew they had problems with current wages, yet they got new players on fat contracts and cried they couldnt register Messi - something is wrong for me here. Wouldnt be suprised that it was all media drama to not show Messi as a money whore and defend club interest, but in the end they knew from the start that he wont renew.

It's still 11 v 11, but tbh I thought these days had gone after the rules were tightened up after Chelsea, and Man City to a lesser extent. Chelsea wanted signings like this but money couldn't buy the very top players back then. PSG have shown that when things take a turn for the worse it will always be the richest who benefit. Everything has worked out perfectly for them as money is no issue after the relaxing of FFP to aid other struggling clubs.
Football has always been dominated by the wealthiest teams but the kind of team they have been allowed to put together looks like something an 11 year old creates on a football sim with a cheat code. I'd like to see how that cretin Ceferin tries to justify this, but he's probably rolling in the oil money himself, and when he is ousted the damage is already done and it will be some other puppet in charge.
