I think I’m going to be sick
Lionel Messi’s contract is obscene. No wonder they could go bankers.

Nothing surprises me these days. When something like one Bitcoin is worth $33,400 purely because of the hype then anything is possible when it comes to finance.

If you compare careers, he's not fit to lace Ronaldo's boots.

Re: I think I’m going to be sick
If I was supporting a team in the World Cup Final, in the 93rd minute and needing a goal to win, then I know which one I would have in my team and it wouldn't be Messi!Other way round, for me.

Re: I think I’m going to be sick
The madness has to be with the people who offered him this contract. It's why Barca should be shown no mercy when they eventually have to face up to the debts they've created. Football has to be strict and say you broke the rules, you pay the price.
As for Messi, I don't know what he's supposed to do. Whether he realises it is sickening or not, he's hardly likely to say NO, you are paying me too much. He'll have people who negotiate his contracts for him, with the simple instruction of get me what you can.

Re: I think I’m going to be sick
Always makes me smile when people say ‘Well Messi only stayed at one club, Ronaldo has done it in 3 countries’
Same people that moan there’s no loyalty in football anymore, use it to play down one of the greatest footballers ever

Re: I think I’m going to be sick
How much money do these people want, for crying out loud ?
It is sickening, but if that's the market, then so be it. Reap what you sow !!!!

Re: I think I’m going to be sick
Obscene it really puts me off football to be honest. I find myself watching more and more amateur footie these days. Paying to watch millionaires prance around diving and crying at every given moment is losing its appeal. 5k a week should be the cap and even thats way to much.

Re: I think I’m going to be sick
The fact that half that amount goes to the tax man and therefore out of the game is shocking. No wonder he tries not to pay it.

This is quite a good read about Spanish tax laws and footballers.
Also at the end it mentions Italy offering favourable tax rates starting last year to footballers which explains why Ronaldo upped and went to Juve.

Just this.
