 ffs, and the worse thing about it is that the club that are paying him this will recoup most of it from the poorer sections of the world through shirt sales and sticking his image of food goods! | |||

"Well, you have to blame the audiences, the fans without them that would not happen.

"How do they justify this There are people starving for bread in countries were one wees wages would do miracles and one man gets this each we for kicking a football ffs " I love how he was so upset he could not seal a deal with Barca, but the tiny c**t could have stayed... If he took a pay cut... He's obviously not loyal to the club, just to money. As for the wages, well, its a business at the end of the day, if as a business it can afford to pay him, then it is what it is. If they didn't pay Messi that money, where would the money go? Into the chairmans pockets probably. I believe Messi gives alot to charities as well. | |||

"I'm not going to decry the point that it's obscene money. It is disgusting. It's just that footballers come from poor backgrounds and there's a sense, in the media and parliament, that how dare they earn that kind of money. I'd be very surprised if Boris' annual earnings were much different. Off shore accounts and consultancy contracts for access to power (anyone see the Cameron docs?). They believe they are entitled to it by birthright. How dare a poor kid from Argentina join their ranks. Banker's bonuses is where the real crimes lie. They fuck us all over. Entire nations in fact. Rant over, sorry, as you were. "No, very good points, I agree | |||

"I wonder how many on here would message him if he’s on Fab? Anyone want to fuck a GOAT? ??" Unfortunately you're joking but in reality you're right.

"There's a lot you have to factor in. No transfer fee to pay to the outward club, so the player is getting that money instead of a club. You could then argue it's going out of the game but that a different discussion. It's one of the 2 best players in the world, so high price is justifiable. They have a short career so deserve big money. If the money wasn't going to players, it'd be going to the owner, the top 1%, do they really need more money? It should be sustainable, if ffp rules were actually abided by, the money paid to the players should be generated by the club, then it's no problem, the club is paying for their asset using it's own money. Murky when it comes to psg though so that arguement is out of the window. " They have a short careera so deserve big money? Man two weeks worth is enough | |||

"How do they justify this There are people starving for bread in countries were one wees wages would do miracles and one man gets this each we for kicking a football ffs " It's justified in the amount the sport generates, the Premier league alone is the biggest charitable body in the UK, and the case is similar in most other countries. Football is a sport that stems right from the field on council estates and school pitches. Very similar to boxing in that regard. They have lower and working class roots, but somehow football gets a really bad rep? One footballer alone managed to shame the government into helping poorer kids eat during school holidays. Do you understand how much money shirts with messis name on generate? Or Ronaldo, Beckham back in the day, Cantona, Rooney? It makes their wages look like pittance. And huge chunks of the money generated goes into charity, society, youth football, schools, sports colleges grants etc. That game of kicking a ball about is more important and beneficial to society from walking age onwards than any other. | |||

Not that much money, I can't see it "If you generated billions you wouldnt feel you deserved to earn millions? Of course you would. And you can say, I'd rather it went to better places, but if it didn't go to you, would it go to better places anyway? Most likely not, at least if it goes to you you have the choice to direct it to where you want it to go, much like Messi does with his money | |||

Would the best prime minister we've had deserve over half a million pounds a week! No they would not Tell you what though, if prime ministers were paid that much, they wouldn't be so corruptible, it's why putin is untouchable and why trump didn't give a fuck what he did, they have fuck you money Did you seriously just say Putin is not corrupt..?? No, I said he is incorruptible, he is corrupt, but through his own choice, not because someone richer can pay him to do what they want. What..?? He is incorruptible but corrupt..!! But because he chooses to be corrupt he isn’t influenced by his paymasters… Right… What's confusing you? There's a difference between being corrupt and corruptible, yes? Where did you get lost? Better example, let's take Elon musk vs some not so rich eccentric person, people can use far more easily use their money to corrupt the ideals of the poorer one but would have a much harder (if not impossible) time using money to corrupt musk? You have confused me now " Ffs lol | |||

"It’s strange to think that he, a footballer, gets paid more than the UK Prime Minister, who has the heavy burden of trying to run a Country and all that entails. Messi is one of the best ever in history to do what he does, Boris isn't even the best in his own party I think that is besides the point. Would the best prime minister we've had deserve over half a million pounds a week! No they would not Tell you what though, if prime ministers were paid that much, they wouldn't be so corruptible, it's why putin is untouchable and why trump didn't give a fuck what he did, they have fuck you money I take it you don't believe he deserves to be paid over half a million pounds each week then Who, Boris? No, he's shit. Of course politicians earn far far more than is disclosed in dodgy deals and backhanders. I'm talking about the football player not Boris
Yes, he does, because he generates far more. If you're the best, you deserve to be paid as if you're the best. Simple
Not that much money, I can't see it
If you generated billions you wouldnt feel you deserved to earn millions? Of course you would. And you can say, I'd rather it went to better places, but if it didn't go to you, would it go to better places anyway? Most likely not, at least if it goes to you you have the choice to direct it to where you want it to go, much like Messi does with his money "No I wouldn't feel I deserved 560 thousand pounds a week and I don't believe money goes to good causes as some say it does. | |||

How on earth can you be incorruptible, your words(that means you can’t be corrupted) and be corrupt ( your words)at the same time. The confusion lies in on place only.. | |||

If that is true I don't think they deserve it either, when our nurses get paid peanuts."Is that the fault of people that earn more? No. These are entirely different things, athletes and musicians are paid based on what they generate in their industry and field. Their money isn't even in the same pool of money as nurses, do you think nurses would suddenly be paid more because elton John's never existed? No. They are paid to do a job and accept the wage that comes with the job. Should it be more, yes, but to think that one set of people earning more based on their profile and expertise has any impact on someone being paid to do a job is foolish. | |||

And the teams community support is dead. When I was in school tqs ground is built on the side of the school I went to and we would talk to the players and watch them train almost weekly | |||

See, what stands out for me is the lack of local pride the local kids have in that situation. Not willing to put the hard graft and work in to better and improve themselves to be able to make the team. The kids are too soft and quit too easily now a days. | |||

"How do they justify this There are people starving for bread in countries were one wees wages would do miracles and one man gets this each we for kicking a football ffs " I used to think this but when I realised that a lot of these footballers have no childhood and sign to clubs as young as 7. That's dedicating their lives to the sport, dealing with the backlash if they make an error. Suffer sports injuries. Have their personal lives under a microscope and constantly harassed by the paparazzi. I wouldn't want that for any amount of money. | |||

"His tears at leaving Barcelona! Take less money and stay then .... knob " He could've played for free and Barcelona couldn't have kept him. They're a financial shit show and can't even register their new players. As far as his wage goes, it's an obscene about of money but with the sponsors and short sales, it'll be interesting to see how much money he brings into the club compared to his wage. | |||

Players get dumped by clubs every transfer window. And it is a job, so like any other why wouldn't they take the chance to compete at higher levels when given the chance? | |||
