Elm Park Kid Was chatting about this yesterday and it's debatable that any of the PL clubs in the CL would have the financial freedom to sign him - his wages are just too high to get within the rules.

Funnily enough, Spurs are probably the only PL club that could manage it as their new stadium will give them a high income and their wages are surprisingly low, especially if Kane goes. But . . . Messi . . .Spurs . . . . .Messi . . . .Spurs .. . .nope, just doesn't sound right

Given the state of European football finances it really is PSG or Barca for him - if Barca can get players off their books.


Except that Spurs' total debt comes out at about £1.77billion the highest in Europe followed by Barca.

FFP doesn't care about debt, just current income and outgoings.

NathStPaul Lionel Messi definitely leaving Barcelona.

Could definitely do with a more attacking options, might fit within the £8500 a week wage budget too. Well worth a look.



Has gone to PSG
