Okay so maybe Messi isn't *in his prime!* But if it's a 2 year contract, his age will be a prime number during it!

Like, all this Adidas, Apple stuff is good....and money is nice, but working under Neville would be a legit hit to his ego (and reputation) enough that it would genuinely give him second thoughts and point him to the KSA.

And then there’s all the skyscrapers bought with cash by Colombians in the 1980s

https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1666747008311328769?cxt=HHwWgoC8jdjkvKEuAAAA Guardian is saying we paid a £35m release clause which if true is way cheaper than I was expecting for him.

Who knows but it seems like Brighton where desperate for him to sign a new deal before the World Cup, at which point he was only a bit part player for Argentina and wasn't looking like he would be a major part of their tournament. This maybe explains the relatively low buyout clause (his stock obviously rose astronomically due to the WC) but from what I understand it wasn't a typical buyout clause and included some room for negotiations on the performance related clauses, which takes it up to 55m some of the outlets are reporting. All in all he is an absolute model pro that did all he could for us, so not disappointed at the fee or him leaving.

I didn't know this but apparently he was out of contract this summer, so I guess he had a lot of leverage in the negotiations last fall. Without the 35m release clause he might have left on a free.

Starting to look as though Declan Rice to Arsenal will be done soon, with fees from 90-100m being quoted. So that’s cool.

Is that actually being reported by anyone serious? I've not seen it outside of Arsenal posters so far. Actual journalists are saying West Ham want far more than Arsenal are willing to pay (so far)

Could well be true tbh but Neville gave them the perfect excuse by consistently sucking rear end. They’re bottom of their division. Worse than a team that plays on a baseball field. worse than Toronto under Premier League record breaker Bob Bradley

Guess Sullivan has already told everyone Rice is off, just a matter of how much by whom. Comedy answer would be Chelsea and cram another expensive player into their midfield.
