Just makes you really angry at what could have been and what has been stopped. So frustrating that we have to carry on like this when we had buyers and a willing seller this time, and everything there ready to go, only to be held up and stopped by the fucking premier league. This summer should have been totally exciting. Fuck the lot of it.

Who would get the better deal if Messi went to Man City in exchange for Mahrez, Bernardo Silva and Jesus?

 

Barcelona. Now and in the future.

Definitely not now. Mahrez and Silva basically play the same position as Messi just far worse and Jesus is good but isn't a top striker

 

Mahrez and Silva could play anywhere behind the striker. Barcelona are in desperate need of players now. That would be 3 absolute quality players in return for one. It is better for Barcelona.

and even with their combined wages would still probably cost them less than Messi does now

 

Easily. Probably cost them half of Messi's wage.

Aye but Messi pays for himself commercially so the finance argument is moot.

 

This is a no brianer for any team. He is literally creator, finisher and playmaker all in one. He's irreplaceable.

If that's the kind of advice you give Ashley, I'm not surprised we don't sign anybody.

Have to admit, I've never really saw what everyone else has in him. That one 16 goal season at Valencia aside, I've always thought his reputation outweighs what he actually does.

 

Must be pretty good to have 20 odd caps for Spain? Seems a good coup for a newly promoted team

Messi pays for Messi, the club he goes to will see a small % boost as he’ll have his image rights sewn up tight. Blame beckham for starting that shite.

 

 

 

What about shirt sales? Increases in attendance?

 

Messi will clean up on shirt sales with his name on it as he does now. Attendances aren’t going to increase at the big clubs as they are already packed, that’s if people can go see him due to COVID. It’s a complete myth the extra attention will pay for him, that extra money, 80% if not more goes to him.

 

He could clear £100m a year off the back of a move imo.

Thinking about it further, Nike will get more than Man City for kit sales anyway wouldn’t they.

 

Probably the reason Man City are the only club likely to sign Messi then.

Dunno if i agree with this. Not exactly an expert in football finance but looking at direct sales is a bit if a false economy when it comes to financial impact of signing Messi.

 

Man City themselves would become even more marketable with Messi in their line up.

Allan going to Everton 25m plus. Rodrigo to Leeds done for 26m. Meanwhile we carrying on like we don’t have a pot to piss in.

 

It’s not as if we have taken a hiuge commercial hit either - ridiculous

It’s bizarre really. The club loses value every day he remains in charge. He won’t be able to get more than £150m for us in the championship

 

Yeah that’s the part I don’t get at all. Even a 5m loan fee for a good left back on loan for a year and even 7m loan fee for a striker like Batshauyi on loan would likely keep us up and save him 150m for a small outlay but it seems he would rather spend nothing and just risk 150m.

yeah but brewcy told us coronavirus has affected all the clubs, so nobody will be spending big.
