allani Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I wonder how many Villa shirts we would sell in Argentina alone this summer if Messi signed. I mean basically we'd have their two most important players at the club within 8 months of them winning the World Cup together. We'd sell more shirts in a week than Messi's wages for the season would cost us..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact your post is the first time I’ve read the word “Pessi” anywhere. But as I said in the bit of my post that you didn’t quote, I’m not sure I want the circus that comes with it. The income jump would be immense and it would pay for his salary, no doubt. We’ve got a good thing going here in its own right, do we need a superstar name to make a name for ourselves?

TomC Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 If he stays in Europe, he's going to a Champions League club. Otherwise, he's going to a retirement league. It's as simple as that. Maybe, maybe if we had somehow snuck into the CL, we could have dreamt that Emi's influence might have brought him here. But a club that's in the conference or not in Europe at all? Forget about it.

Correct. Whatever the deal is with Castore is what we get from shirt sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure fanatics would reap the shirt sale rewards. I'm sure that Chris Heck will find a way of getting us the money. Maybe not from the direct sales but if we are in danger of suddenly selling a LOT of shirts then I suspect that someone will be on the phone to someone else negotiating on whatever deal we have signed and getting them to agree to new and improved terms.

lapal_fan Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Headline: Aston Villa Set to Sensationally Secure Lionel Messi's Signature Date: May 24, 2023 In a shocking turn of events, Aston Villa Football Club has emerged as the frontrunner to acquire the services of footballing legend Lionel Messi once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) expires. The Argentine maestro, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, has reportedly turned down offers from Middle Eastern clubs as well as lucrative offers from Major League Soccer (MLS) teams, opting instead for a move to the English Premier League. Rumors surrounding Messi's future have been rife since his departure from Barcelona in 2021, and it seems the football world is about to witness another seismic shift. Despite his impressive stint at PSG, where Messi showcased his exceptional skills, it appears that the allure of playing in the world's most competitive league has captured his attention. Aston Villa, under the ownership of ambitious billionaire Nassef Sawiris, has been making significant strides in recent years, and this potential signing would undoubtedly cement their status as a force to be reckoned with in English football. The Birmingham-based club has long been associated with a rich history and passionate fanbase, and the addition of Lionel Messi would propel them into the upper echelons of the Premier League. Sources close to the negotiations suggest that Aston Villa's project, spearheaded by manager Dean Smith, played a pivotal role in Messi's decision. The club's long-term vision, commitment to nurturing young talent, and plans for further investment have reportedly impressed the 35-year-old superstar. This unexpected move would see Messi join a talented squad that already boasts promising talents such as Jack Grealish, Ollie Watkins, and Emi Martinez. The prospect of witnessing the mesmerizing link-up play between Messi and Grealish is sure to excite fans and pundits alike. While some may question the financial implications of such a blockbuster transfer, it is worth noting that Aston Villa has shown considerable financial strength in recent years. Moreover, their willingness to invest in the squad and provide the necessary resources for success is evident through their previous acquisitions. As the football world braces itself for this groundbreaking transfer, Aston Villa's rivals and fans across England are left astounded by the audacity of their potential capture. Lionel Messi's arrival at Villa Park would undoubtedly shake up the Premier League, injecting even more excitement into an already fiercely competitive season. Only time will tell if this unprecedented move comes to fruition, but one thing is for certain: Aston Villa, Lionel Messi, and the entire football fraternity eagerly await the moment when the Argentine genius steps foot onto the hallowed grounds of Villa Park.
