But people wanted to sign him after he hadn't played for 18 months with one of the most serious injuries you could get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah…but we can’t just currently outbid every other team on the planet. If we buy Messi for his transfer fee and pay him a higher wage than he currently gets as people suggest, that’s practically our entire FFP leeway gone.
