Messi

Neymar, Messi and Mbappe pissing around in that league is quite funny 

[StanSP]

Pretty much confirmed.

Can't wait to watch that front 3

Add Di Maria to that, they can afford to play all 4 of them in that league without negative consequences. 

[don_danbury]

such a shame to see his last years in that joke of a league. 

[RowlattsFox]

I wonder if Moises Kean is still hopeful of a move to PSG 

They'll clear up in France I'm sure but really hope they crash and burn in the champions League. 

 

Wonder if Poch is brave enough to regularly sub one of the front 3. Not going to be much tracking back.

I don't know why but I find this really creepy.  

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

It just looks so wrong seeing him in a different kit

[BlueSi13]

Why don't PSG just drop the pretence and play the league with their reserves?  What's the point?

 

In all seriousness though, three of arguably of the best attacking players in the world languishing in the 5th best league in Europe.  It's essentially self-imposed, albeit highlight profitable, exile from the world game.

Just trying to copy that Man City title video from last season, which was 10 time better.

 

Says it all they flew through the club shop first, it's not really about the football is it 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Massively overrated in my humble opinion and he will again get lots of goals in a piss poor league

[Koke]

PSG are a joke of a club..

If he loved Barca so much just play for free? He's been paid hundreds of millions in the last few years, he doesn't need the cash. 

 

But now he's gone for another payday in an even easier league than he was in before. 

 

In a couple of years time "I love PSG but they cannot afford me anymore, my only option is to go to Saudi".

He couldnt even do that they would have still been over the cap for him to register to play they needed some of the top earners to take a pay cut. That's why the likes of Umtiti is getting slated by their fans.

 

Not shocked that Arguero has now got 'an injury' that will keep him out for a couple of months. The fact they cant actually register him to play until they clear some of the wage bill might actually be the real reason.

He's almost certainly taken a sizeable paycut to go to PSG.

 

Regardless I think the best player in the world is more than entitled to get paid for it. It's Barcelona's mess that has led to all this, no Messi's.

It looked like crocodile tears to me on his leaving Barcelona press conference

Half a million a week post tax is a pay cut?  

[HEGGSY]

Messi overrated?

You mean the league they didn't win last year?

[David Guiza]

RE the above - it's seemingly dictated in Spanish Law that any new contract must be at least 50% of the previous one. Hence, the initial 50% agreed deal was in fact the lowest he could have agreed to.

I don't particularly like the bloke, outside of football, as he'll seemingly meet and greet any old dictator for some cash, but I think this one is genuinely out of his hands.

Considering he was on well over a million a week at Barcelona, yes.
