Wasn't this filthy tax dodger your avatar since the world cup? 

Yes, not sure what your point is though.

He absolutely isn't at PSG for the money, he was there for one very specific reason imo and it paid off a million-fold for him.

Yeah because it would be embarrassing for a fully grown adult to call people “dick suckers”. I hoped you would be younger given the way you talk; as the alternative is sad. Ah well. 

I called you Messi dick suckers to be fair. Which is not calling you dick suckers in the traditional sense but saying you suck Messis dick because you won’t accept anything said against him.

 

A subtle difference but a difference

Just thought it was funny - he's no longer your avatar and you're blasting the dude. Only in jest man. Nothing other than that.

Every time I see Tebas comments like these I wonder why the fuck the President of La Liga has anything at all to say about things like an individual club's transfers. Seems mental.

[Zero]

As a fan of a club, I do expect the most important player or the highest earner of the club, to respect the club and the fans, by putting the interest of the club in a very high (if not the highest) priority.   
I really don’t want to support him if he is obviously here just for his self interest. 
 

Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are all one of the greatest players in history. They are putting up great numbers in a farmer league, but that’s not enough to me. Ultimately it’s how much they respect your club that matters most.

 

PSG is a money ridden club for sure. It might justify why these players don’t respect the club. However, PSG fans definitely has the right to protest against them. Just like why we all hate Owen. Owen might be correct to put the clubs interest way below his international career, because he knows how shit our club and our owner were at that time. Still, I would just go and say fuck off you mudafucka SOB mercenaries

Might be controversial but I wouldn't put Neymar in as one of the greatest of all time. Had he stayed at Barca he probably would have made it.

Not controversial at all, he’s not even close.

As in.. nothing to do with succeeding with PSG?

[The Prophet]

It's mad how tribal folk get when it come to Messi or Ronaldo.

I think he'd like to have succeeded at PSG (i.e. won the Champions League) but they'd have needed a lot more than him to do that, at the elite level that team's a mess. But for me that move was always designed to allow him to keep playing at a high level but without having to put too much graft in. He'd disappointed at previous World Cups by turning up knackered and the entire point of the PSG move from the start was to allow him to half-arse it for 18 months and get himself in peak shape. Worked a bloody treat.

A lot of those clubs would require him to put a serious shift in domestically, some of them couldn't afford him unless he takes a huge cut and some of them simply wouldn't present a good enough opportunity for a CL (I don't give the Italian clubs a cat in hell's chance). He'll definitely have his eye on the World Cup next December as well. PSG is by far and away the biggest opportunity to be able to both win the CL and not put that much football in his legs before then (the only other would be Bayern but they have quite a strict wage policy I believe).

A bit like Michael Owen at Newcastle then?

[Wullie]

In a way if you like but the two situations are too different as to be incomparable. NUFC didn't have effectively unlimited resources to afford him half-arsing it, nor did we win a league title while Owen was here.

Nothing if you enjoy it and it’s consensual you do it ??
 

What I said was more a comment on their idolisation of Messi rather than the actual act.

There’s more the same between the situations than different. They are definitely parallels of each other.

 

PSG could afford it in Ligue 1 but in the champions league it wasn’t enough. Both not being at their best was detrimental to their teams

Was gonna say, I have some much worse examples 'love the art not the artist' than Messi like

Frankfurt signed Kolo Muani on a free just last summer man

 

Now they are going to get a £100 million for him in just a year. That is absolutely excellent work by their recruitment team and staff.

he turned us down iirc.

I really like the look of him, think he'd do great in the Prem.

Yeah, he's quality. Looked really good at Nantes.

 

Was surprised Frankfurt were able to get him as a free agent tbh.

 

His number for them this year are fantastic both in goals and assists. Really well rounded striker.

 

Amazing business for Frankfurt to make a £100 million on a player they signed for free in just a year. That's ridiculous.

Tells you the buying clubs' transfer operators are scared and confused too.

Can see them getting some decent signings in unfortunately. They'll be after big names too
