Wishlist Lionel Messi

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

WTF boys! Lets be realistic if Messi REALLY want to join.

NO club can pay 190£m for one player, with or without help from Adidas and Turkish Airlanes. I believe Adidas gonna earn maybe 25£m more a year with Messi in a Adidas team.. So if they will help i think they gonna give us around 60£m extra in the sponsor deal. Turkish aint even close.

BUT, I think if we came with a bid it would be around 110-130£m.

You believe Messi new kit will only sell about 25m??? WHAT?? Keep in mind they don't have Messi right now so the change isn't from Barca to Chelsea but from Nike to Adidas which means they now net ALL of the returns on Messi's Adidas kit. He will EASILY sell 50m in kit sales.

• Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets had to meet with Luis Enrique to change his mind not to take disciplinary action against Messi. https://twitter.com/RafaelH117/status/552498819502731264

Between 2009/10 to 2013/14 we averaged 875,000 shirt sales per year. At the expected price of £50 a shirt (and all other costs and complications removed) Messi would need to sell 1,000,000 shirts to make £50 million. I think the £25 million (500,000 shirts) over the course of 3/4 years is much more realistic.

I'm not sure what the number is but I would wager that Adidas would much rather have him in their kit than not. Ronaldo is and he sells the most Messi is second... I have a feeling if he signed with Chelsea he would be the Adidas poster boy.

I'm sorry, but this makes less than zero sense....Why in the world we go after the Argentinian Salah when we have the real thing right here?!

I know right? I've been screaming to the Salah thread, noone wants to listen

Anyways lolz at Luis Enrique, the guy is heading off a cliff on his own

But seriously if this was about to happen only Hazard transfer & sponsors can fund it, so let me think about it for a split second...... NO.

Sorry to be pessimistic but... Don't want this to happen...

Obviously Messi is terrific and all that... But for 200M or whatever we could adress all our squad needs/luxury signings and still have some left in the bank. Wouldn't make sense.

They've chosen Messi it seems.

I doubt that the next barcelona manager will be that successful,so next summer,there will be Messi to Chelsea part 2

I see Barca have adopted Chelsea's philosophy of dealing with managers.

The only way this happens is if its true that Adidas and Turkish Airlines are willing to foot some of the bill. Could you imagine either of those companies doing it for Pogba, Reus or Varane?

We don't have 200m to spend on anyone, this happens only if our sponsors help foot the bill.

Luis Enrique and Brendan Rodgers must be the dumbest coaches in European football.

To even think that Barcelona would choose you over Messi..........

BREAKING: Barcelona manager Luis Enrique will be sacked in the next few days. [Cadena COPE]

No one gets "sacked in the next few days" if he is to be sacked and Cadena COPE know about it then Luis also knows so there would be no reason to drag out the inevitable.
