Maran Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 serious bargain. he has just signed a new contract with barca on my save and his min release clause is 45m, so ill be putting a bid in for him in the summer:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silva_gunner Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Don't do it. If you want to make the game unrealistic then go ahead. (Just joking, you should jump at the oppurtunity) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockney Hammer Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 His minimum release clause on mine was 35 so i snapped him up! Couldnt say no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylenium Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 He would be a bargin at 250 million this guy is a match winner and has got a left foot like a traction engine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkoid Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 See to be honest. Get Ronaldinho for £5 - £8M. He will do the same job as Messi for about 4 seasons. Then pick up a regen using your scouting. I had ample opportunity to get Messi in my long term game but always shied away. I just was always atracted to other players usually regens. I got Ronaldinho for £6m and he had 3-4 unbelievable seasons for me. 25+ assists per season, 10+ goals, 7.30+ rating per season also. Defo better deal pound for pound.

LeeroyS Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Ronaldinho is 31 years old now, I don't really buy over 26 year old players and getting messi for 37m is a steal plus if he under performs i could probably ssell him for 60m+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkoid Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I don't really buy over 26 year old players... Why? How long do you play your game for? 10 Seasons? 15 Seasons? 20? More? I don;t understand this signing policy. My friend and I argue this point constantly. He tells me about all these youngsters he signs and he never signs anyone over a certain age blah blah blah... If a midfielder you get for £6M gets 15 goals a season, with 25 assists and a rating of 7.50 what the hell does it matter what age he is? It just doesn't make sense to me! :confused::confused::confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cenotaph Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 messi has a realease clause for 177 mill on my game And to Forkoid, i rarely sign players over 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeroyS Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 I dont know why i dont sign players over 26, its just a thing i have a habit of i guess. I have players in my team over 27 but they are players who have been at the club a long time like Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw252 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 messi only goes to clubs with worldwide reputations, in my experience. obviously if you're arsenal after 2-3 seasons then he should move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deemo Da Manager Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Messi told me at Liverpool to take a running Jump after winning Premiership back to back. He refused to enter into contract negoations.

Im guessing you played FM08. I had a habit of not signing players over 28, but FM09 is far better. Players don't decline drastically until around 32, depends on the certain player and position but you can get some great players for cheaper prices, not to mention the experience they have, shown in their awesome mental stats.

sambos Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Messi is good but he is no C. Ronaldo with 30+ goals a season. Have Messi on left wing and he usually scores 10-12 but gets alot of assists, so he is excellent but you can get a cheap regen that can get you lots of assists or Yuri Zhirkov who would be cheaper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Shakes- Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I tend not to sign over 16 year old, you get good value then Messi never leaves Barca in my game, he and Ronaldo are both 30+ and worth over £30 mil :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season if i have money as i'll be winning the premiship again and be at a bigger new ground Seriously? I got Messi in my first season. Barca came in with a bid for Alonso, so i thought hang on, this could work in my favour. £40,000,000 (Databased £150,000,000 tehe!) and Alonso for Messi - Done deal. Although i'm only a couple of games in, and Messi is on international duty, so i haven't had a chance to play him yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougess Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Messi's worth almost anything, and for some reason it's common for him to get a minimum fee release clause of < 45m. If you sell him at 30 you've made a profit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
