Messi's contract :mindblown:

[ThrobbingHood]

This is nonsense

The disrespect on Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Pique, Alves, Eto’o, Suárez, Neymar Henry, Puyol’s name. In recent years (since 2015), he’s definitely saved them from being average/mid table.

But from 08-15, he was surrounded by world class players. That’s not taking away from his individual achievements but that run wouldn’t have been possible without that team, including a great manager like Pep.

Xavi is the best central midfielder of all time, ffs

Messi entered the XI when Ronaldinho was the best player in the world and Eto’o was like 1a in best striker.

Messis contract is like 90m more and 6 years less than the one Mahomes signed.


I'm going off £ numbers.

And he doesn't have 6'5, 300 lbs lightning quick monsters gunning for his head like Mahomes.

His contract gotta be funded by their government or a drug cartel.. no way a single franchise can afford that..

He played his prime years with 7 World Cup/Euros winners (the Spanish ones mentioned in my previous post including Pedro and David Villa).

Take nothing away from Messi, he is objectively the GOAT, but anyone can see that team is not elite unless you surround him world class players. They haven’t won the champions league since Neymar and others left. Now look at Suarez, past his prime but is the top La Liga goal scorer.

Barcelona made 711 million euros last season, in a global pandemic.

Even after that MSN was the most dangerous trio in Europe and won the treble. In 2014-15. That team played together until 2018. Messi always had supporting cast. He's the GOAT still...but it wasn't until Neymar left that he really had to carry the team by himself. Its insanity how the mismanagement of ONE player really lead to so much insanity.

If Neymar stays, Messi and Suarez are happier, probably don't take as much money. They win more which means more money. They wouldn't still owe all that bread for Coutinho, GROSSLY overpay for Dembele etc.

All they had to do was say "...FC Barca will be YOUR team soon, Neymar."

Lol.. ok

The fact these teams dont have a true owner like American sports is what Im talking about bro..

 

[concise]

Why you think they released it? They trying to pin it on Messi after benefiting from his image for 15+ years.

Sounds like they should have just let him leave when he wanted to this past summer.

 

[MikelArteta]

[MikelArteta]

Guillem Balague was saying he brings in about 300m gross

I believe it. Hell I would travel to spain from canada to watch messi play in person.

 

[Houston911]

[Roid Jones]

Isn't Barca nearly $2 billion in debt?
