The point of having the outrageous buy-out clause is to keep teams from signing him. Of course no one will pay that much money, but that is the frickin point! lol

I really wonder why they couldn't just put a trillion instead of a dreamable figure of 250 million?

You can have a go at Bojan at a bargain basement buyout of 80 million :p

Yeah, these figures are intended to merely keep the rich oil sheik clubs (And Chelski) from simply meeting enormous buyout clauses and circumventing negotiations...I've never considered buyouts to mean anything really, it's more of a symbolic designation, IMHO

Or new investment? Or is he selling the club?

I dont think so actually, but this is what Berlu's media will come up with. MM owns an oil company so he would definetely know the biggies in the gulf.

Rant: I just learnt the 4 trophies and Moratti are at Bahrain City Center. I know one of the VP's of the group that owns the mall. I know all the marketing people of the mall, I know almost all the retailers there. IF I KNEW THIS before, I'm pretty sure I'd have got myself a freaking- VIP invite and pictures with MM, Toldone and Figo.

WTF

My point exactly man. I mean, in 2-3 years, who knows, some even crazier sheik may be willing to match that figure and give Messi 1 M per week, then you're fucked, aren't you?

So why didn't they set it at 1 billion dollar?

No idea...Every played can be had if someone meets a price that a club determines is 'enough'...And, of course, providing the player wants to leave

CR wanted to leave ManYoo so the buyout was almost irrelevant as you can't really keep a player who is already wanting to be someplace else...Although, apparently Wenger is trying to do that with Cesc now

If Leo decides he wants to give Italy or anywhere else a go at some point in the future, no buyout clause will keep him from going...In particular at a club like Barca where they never keep players who show an inclination to leave

I think Leo is, at the moment, intent on trying to make history with titles etc. at Barca...Should they go 2 or 3 seasons with nothing to show for it, I think we could see him become unsettled

A stark contrast from when Ronaldinho was here and nearly every summer was the 'fear' that he was going to move someplace else...Hence, the constant contract renegotiations

Thanks Hussein for rubbing it in. Great pics though.

I will catch them in Abu Dhabi later this year. All of them dynasty. And btw, they also know me dynasty, but being the professional I am, I never ever told them I'm an Interista.

Many thanks guys. Yesterday was really wonderful, and Moratti is one of the most modest men I've ever met. He is completely down to earth. Grande Presidente!

Suneet, don't worry man. Hopefully we'll meet the President and the whole team in Abu Dhabi in 2 months time. I really hope to meet as much Interisti as I can during the CWC come next December and hopefully we will all celebrate together.

Does Moratti speak English, or do you speak Italian?

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to chat with him because he was surrounded with bodyguards, organizers and fans so for each photo you only have like 10-15 seconds max to do it all. I used my basic Italian to communicate with him anyway.

The funny part which unfortunately we couldn't capture is me singing his coro (un presidente, c'è solo un presidente... which translates to there's only one president in English) when he entered the mall with his entourage. He was astonished to hear that and he approached me to shake hands with a big smile on his face. I also sang (chi non salta rossonero è è) while jumping and he was very surprised to hear that coro to the extent that he was looking around for the source until he found me again. :p

I also shock hands with Paolillo and he talked to me in English.

Thank you Stefan :)
