Yes he could have bought Messi for 270m.
I actually got Messi for 230m pounds after tons of bargaining, and I was using Real Madrid. They gave me 200m per annum as transfer budget in FM2010. But it wasnt the first season of course. (About 3rd season)
Anyway Messi was a flop, always injured or...
Player Name: Yoann Gourcuff (AMC)
Club: Free Transfer in 3rd Season :)
League: -
Why Is He Value For Money: Cause he's free. He also has great stats and is at his peak age and more reason to buy him when you read the post above mine.
Player Name: Franck Ribery (AMRLC)
Club: FC Bayern Munich

Angel Di Maria: AMCL
Diego Buonanotte: AMCL
Di Maria can be bought for bought 4m-8m in first season and will become a world-class winger.
Buonanotte is also as cheap, at about 3m-5m in his first season, he too will become a great player, his stats into the 2nd and 3rd season for me were mostly...
You actually have another option in Federico Macheda.
He's sick. Best of all, he's free since i suppose you're Man Utd.
Neymar matures in 2-3years with awesome stats in dribbling, technique and first touch. About 19 to each? But he's inconsistent. But for the price, he's one of the best you...
