Just constant whinging and bed wetting along with a load of anger Gives me a chuckle. Go and get yourself a bit sun ffs Just experienced the club’s best season in 20 years? Better sit on the internet all day and get increasingly furious about transfers you’ve imagined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 How does a selling club take us for all they can? Surely we have a figure that we are prepared to pay for any player and then that’s it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who struggle with that are the same ones that go to bits in a car dealership and pay the extra £300 for floor mats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I honestly can't blame any of these guys for taking nine figure annual salaries (or anything close to it). It's wealth on a complete different level from the already huge money in the game. But I have to imagine many in and around football are starting to follow these Saudi clubs out of sheer interest in what's happening. Doubt it means anything.

kingxlnc Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Crazy salaries never worked in China, USA, Russia or anywhere else. I don’t know what the objective is, it’ll never achieves the original aims, then they scrap it a few years later. Rinse and repeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think growing the game in the country and then getting a World Cup is the aim. But after today I'm a little worried another goal is the LIV model of attract enough talent to get the necessary leverage to take over the sport. Obviously much more difficult in football than golf for a lot of reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggy would be a superstar over there tbh. I'm assuming we'd probably sell him for £50m or something daft as well, so could work out well both ways.

Very rare people in any walk of life settle for what they currently have... Look at Messi who if he wanted could have stayed or signed for Barca on reduced wages and continued his legacy.

wormy Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I do wonder what certain thresholds would make me consider ultimate job satisfaction over being filthy rich. I really couldn't see myself saying £2m a year isn't enough, give me £20m. But then I'm not in their shoes and I don't have their lifestyle, longer retirement and sometimes wider family to support.

The Messi thing is more nuanced. I didn’t realise he owned a very expensive condo in Miami. Maybe a lifestyle choice.

Believe there is a Spanish/eu law that they can't give an employee a new contract that's less than 50% of the value of the previous one. That's what prevented him from staying before the PSG move IIRC. Edited June 8, 2023 by dcmk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After winning the Copa and the World Cup, leagues in Spain and France and multiple UCLs, what’s left? Yeah my example figures were more on Miggy's potential wage (Spotrac estimating about £42k pw). As far as Messi is concerned his fuck you money will obviously be on a different planet to Miggy's, I honestly think he's just doing what makes him happy at this stage which, because he's Messi, coincidentally results in money more often than not. Dude is 35, has won practically all there is to win and was seemingly happy to take a paycut for his boyhood team if he could. Who cares if he wants to take it easy his last few years.
