There is always this debate about who is the better footballer out of Ronaldo and Messi and I would tend to side with the latter, but one thing Ronaldo has done which Messi has yet to do, is conquer the Premiership, which is like no other league in the world. Messi might see that as a challenge.

doing a rough calculation, if the £500M figure is accurate you would be talking about a wage of £1M per week on top of the £200M transfer fee

bit of a change in just 35 years

I seem to remember the million pound player barrier being broken but then prices dipped as football hit the buffers in the eighties with falling attendances etc....

Journalist: "Is it your ambition though to have two of the world's best goalkeepers, long term, fighting to be your number 1?"
LVG: "No. My ambition is that I have to buy the best players, who can collaborate with each other to form the best team in the world."

They arent doing that badly, and they cant expect anyone to do better without trying to invest in something.
