They can f**k off all the same, right enough. if it prevents City from winning the CL i'm all for it.

That said I have loved watching Messi for all these years and will still watch him when I can. The greatest football player I have ever seen and a few seasons back, when Xavi and Iniesta were still playing, the best club team I have ever witnessed. not sure how old you are, but i'd be placing my money on Sacchi's Milan if a time machine is every invent and they end up facing each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astronomical aye, but all of them combined will still be less than it would have cost to buy Messi outright, so I reckon they're fine with it. I'm not sure how they're avoiding breaching FFP rules, does this not cover wages too? Neymar, Messi and Mbappe (esp. when he signs a new deal) must all be on 300k+pw?

Antiochas III Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I actually have no problem with what PSG are doing. It's not like Barcelona haven't been financial doping for at least half a decade trying to remain at the top - while failing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Man City. If it was just some businessman pumping in the money it wouldn’t attract as much bad press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old enough to remember them and I'd say Guadiola's Barca was the best team I've ever seen. IMO Xavi and Iniesta are the best pairing in the history of the game. It would be a fascinating game to watch because that Milan side were incredibly structured and obdurate when not in possession while Barca lived to keep the ball. That Milan team had the best back 4 though - Tassoti, Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini. Woof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
