Hi Everyone.
I'm at the end of my second season (the 2011/12 season) with Arsenal, currently the Euro2012 is going on, and I scouted Messi out of boredom and my scout said he was available for around 50m pounds - to my great surprise. So at the risk of this changing, I slapped in a bid of 55m over 48 months and it was accepted right away. My major problem is his wages. His initial demands are 275k per week - which I'm happy to pay but my board maximum currently is 230k per week and he wont accept that.
My question to everyone is this: If i wait until my new budget is given to me at the start of my third season, keeping in mind I just won the Premier League, Champions League and Carling cup treble last season, is it possible I may be able to afford his wages by then? I'm desperate to sign the lad, have never played with him and see this is as an opportunity I don't wanna let slip by me.
Any quick replies would be hugely appreciated! Cheers!
