Messi going to MLS....Yawn...Inter Miami apparently. Is that why Phil Neville got the bums rush?
I’ve heard it’s some dodgy deal to get him on loan at Barcelona. If he ends up back in Spain on loan, there’s going to be a few teams asking questions.
Same as where Madrid getting their mom from, AGAIN!
 
I don’t know how important Shearer’s record is to Kane but surely he’d rather win trophies than focusing on Shearer’s record?

There was a debate on Twitter recently about who has had the better career so far: Kane or Vardy. Most would probably say Kane because he has more often than not scored 20+ goals a season for nearly a decade now and is England captain. However, Vardy has a PL title and FA Cup with Leicester.

Even if Kane beats Shearer’s record, in 10 years from now he could see someone else like Haaland beat it. Nobody can take away Vardy’s trophies though.

Does anyone think Rooney is sat at home wishing he could trade all those trophies with Man Utd for beating Shearer’s record? I don’t think so.

I think the point has already been made that he doesn't have to stay with Spurs to remain in the Premier League, there will be a host of top 4 candidates after him, and that way he can go for the record and compete for trophies.

Although, apparently he never got a firm offer from them. If he had gone to Barca, the deal was that other players would have to take a pay cut, and several backroom staff would be 'let go'. He didn't want that, so didn't pursue it. A mark of the guy, I guess you can say.

Or he could have gone there, taken a pay cut, after all he hardly needs the money now, and then no one would need to take a pay cut or be let go. If he wanted to go back so badly he’d surely compromise?

He was willing to take a pay cut, but Spanish regulations means a player can't just play for free, or even 50^ of his previous contract. Barcelona have yet to register many first team players for next season, which gives you an idea of how bad their current financial situation is. They will be registered due to sales and salary cuts, but Messi needed guarantees he'd be registered and they weren't able to give him them.
