VillanousOne Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Rashica had a 200 page thread despite not one single credible link, yet we are supposed to be 'in talks' with Callum Wilson and he doesn't even have a thread! Links to Wilson could be a load of old gash also, his agent casually trying to put pressure on Newcastle by leaking false links to us in the press as everyone knows we have money and are in the hunt for strikers.

An athlete who looks after himself has at least 3-4 years of playing at the highest level left in him. Yeah but with Wilson’s injury record that’s not the case.

An athlete who looks after himself has at least 3-4 years of playing at the highest level left in him. Precisely. So after the 4 year deal is up or nearing it's end, he's going to be 31 - 32 and have little resale value, if any. You end up letting all the players go on a free. I have to say I'm amazed at the figures being bandied around for Messi. Yes he's had an incredible season and been the best in the world for years now, but he's 33 now. How much longer can he seriously go on for at the top of his game? He could have a rapid decline if the legs go. Someone may be forking out £1bn for a single season, two tops from him. That kind of cash will buy you a lot of future Lionel Messi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benrahma now back in training, not being picked or played along with Watkins, it will be a mutual agreement by all as they are both on the move, the last thing the club want is for two valuable assets to get injured before being sold, I'm sure the players feel the same way, why should they risk a likely lucrative new pay packet.

They'll get 3 or 4 great seasons out of him, then send him to their US team and in the process more than make up for their outlay financially through commercial deals, exposure and shirt sales. 4 minutes ago, sidcow said: That kind of cash will buy you a lot of future Lionel Messi's. That kind of cash buys you exactly 0 future Messi's. He's too rare a talent. Ask Utd what a billion buys them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brings a lot of commercial value all them kit sales if he does go To Man City, the Etihad may have some fans in there. More Messi fans than Man City fans. Also, what ever club he goes to that club will be able to attract more lucrative sponsorships, due to having one of the worlds best players. and currently, he’s still is one of the world best players and will improve almost every team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why risk an asset at its peak price, gets injured then the price crashes. James Milner was playing the day before he moved, the transfer had been agreed. I just think Jacks personality would be the same and he’d want to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
