I’d be very disappointed if he took that. Sure, it’s an absurd amount of money but still.Sky sports saying a £320m deal to go to Saudi is on the table
I wouldn't. He's won everything and has nothing left to prove. I'd b***r off too at the age of 35 if they offered me that amount of money for a couple of years. Sets you up for life and you can do a lot of good with it afterward.I’d be very disappointed if he took that. Sure, it’s an absurd amount of money but still.
I just think it’s a pretty rubbish way to bow out. “Oh I went to play Sunday League in the desert but it’s alright cos they paid me enough dosh to buy my own country. Balls to winning the Champions League one last time”.I wouldn't. He's won everything and has nothing left to prove.

You’d still get our more clueless fans calling him ****.Can’t we get him in for the play offs? He’d be well up for it.
He is not going to win the Champions League with PSG or even Barcelona if he goes back there. There are too many other squads much stronger than them two. He'd most likely have to play on to Stanley Matthews retirement age to have a chance at those clubs.I just think it’s a pretty rubbish way to bow out. “Oh I went to play Sunday League in the desert but it’s alright cos they paid me enough dosh to buy my own country.

Mind you joining PSG wasn’t much different.
Nail on the head I think.Mind you joining PSG wasn’t much different.
Well I didn’t say I wanted him to join one of those clubs. Napoli (obvious spiritual connection), Inter, Bayern Munich, Arsenal. Maybe even go back to Newell’s Old Boys or something.He is not going to win the Champions League with PSG or even Barcelona if he goes back there.

I only mentioned Barca as that seems to be the only club with an interest. For the others, I think without an Arab owner, its a non starter, he costs a fortune.Well I didn’t say I wanted him to join one of those clubs.

Imagine he went to Arsenal and helped them win the title next season. What a way to bow out for his legacy.
But yeah, they’d only be able to afford a pitiful £250/300k a week I expect. Non-starter.
“Sets you up for life”I wouldn't. He's won everything and has nothing left to prove. I'd b***r off too at the age of 35 if they offered me that amount of money for a couple of years. Sets you up for life and you can do a lot of good with it afterward.
He does, but that’s his choice. He could go and play for Rotherham if he really wanted.I only mentioned Barca as that seems to be the only club with an interest. For the others, I think without an Arab owner, its a non starter, he costs a fortune.
Are you suggesting Messi isn't "set up for life"I wouldn't. He's won everything and has nothing left to prove. I'd b***r off too at the age of 35 if they offered me that amount of money for a couple of years. Sets you up for life and you can do a lot of good with it afterward.
I reckon he's probably got enough to get by on already like.I wouldn't. He's won everything and has nothing left to prove. I'd b***r off too at the age of 35 if they offered me that amount of money for a couple of years. Sets you up for life and you can do a lot of good with it afterward.
As much as I love the guy, he's always been about the money. From his horrific bonus scheme at Barca to the tax dodging. Great footballer, possibly the greatest, but really greedyI’d be very disappointed if he took that. Sure, it’s an absurd amount of money but still.
