I know they were in a bit of financial trouble at the time and couldn't afford his wages but it would have been nice if he offered a reduction in salary to help the club out and show some loyalty after the years he had been there. PSG was 100% about money as is his latest move The rumours about him being somewhat dictated to by his dad do seem to ring true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG was 100% about money as is his latest move He did offer a reduction, to the maximum allowed which was half Ultimately Barca were in a financial shit show and struggled to even register other players at the time His PSG move was about doing what was best for his World Cup ambitions And his latest move will be partly motivated by money but the Saudi offer dwarfs it yet he didn't pick that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Does Messi have autism? I know there was talk but was it ever followed up? Makes his incredible talent even more so.

The offer for Messi is probably because they are bored waiting to spend money on players for us. Jeff Hendrick would be a cracking signing for 200m though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can be a help in some scenarios, I was listening to Beresford talk about how he thought Gazza was 'autistic' because on the field 'everything made sense' whereas off it he was a loose cannon.

Teslact Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) I can imagine the commentary now: Messi is waiting for the ball. Messi is still waiting for the ball. Messi has the ball and that is a world class restart after Miami go two zero down. Edited June 8, 2023 by Teslact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
