Messi about to earn 40M net a year, with our taxes, that's probably 80M gross a year :dead:

PSG's current wage bill is 300M gross and about to see a 25% increase in one signing :wow:
Salute to PSG for massively contributing to our healthcare system :salute:

They're gonna make it all up in jersey sales. Gonna be the hottest ticket in town (which it probably for the most part was already). All the negative feedback on their Jumpman home jerseys won't mean a thing once Messi is on the back of it.

This and Ligue 1 will also benefit as a whole. When Ibra signed and PSG were playing away, stadiums were at full capacity just to see him play.

As a matter of fact, I'll try to catch some shytty PSG cup match just to see him :francis:. Pretty sure tickets will be sold out for the season by mid-August if it's official on Monday :francis:

No they won't , this is one of football biggest myths that clubs make the money back on shirt sales when signing a big player for ridiculous money

The shirt manufacturers dont pay the clubs loads of money for them to wear their shirts and then give all the money the shirts sales make to the club.
The shirt manufacturers like Adidas or Nike or whoever take the majority of the money and the club if they are lucky get between 7.5% to 15% of the money generated

I think Liverpool's new Nike deal is something like 20% which is one of the best deals going, so if they sell for let's say 80 quid a top, liverpool get £16 for every shirt they sell, the rest goes to Nike

If PSG does land Messi, Pochettino is being set up for the bottle job of all bottle jobs :mjgrin:
For all the money they spent they had a horribly built team. Let's see if Ramos, Hakimi and Gini can cover all the holes they have.

Di Maria, Sarabia, Draxler, Icardi :hhh: mediocre defense besides Marquinhos.

It's funny, a certain club hired an executive from Barca during this era. :mjlol:

More curious what happens to Mbappe now.

He gone. I can't see them letting him walk for free.

As long as they stop City, we're good. I don't think City has the speed to stop them. Liverpool of a few years ago might be the blueprint to beat these brehs.

100%

After all of these years the PSG brass still haven’t learned how to put together a “team”. It’s like their ultimate goal every transfer window is to be the team that 10 year-olds spam with in FIFA.
