-Guillem Roca: Hi guys!                                                                                             

-Marcos,Roger,Pau: Hi!                                                                                                   

-Guillem: How are you?                                                                                            

-Marcos,Roger,Pau: Really good.                                                                               

-Pau: And you?

-Guillem: Pretty good, thanks.    

-Roger : Have you heard about PSG´s bid for Messi?

-Guillem: Yes, about 400 million euros right?

-Pau: Yes, but Manchester City also want to sign him.

-Roger: I don’t think Messi will go to another club. In my opinion he will stay at Barcelona.

-Marcos: But if those teams put in a good offer to Barcelona then I’d like to see what happens.

-Roger: But Barcelona is the club of his childhood.

-Pau: Many people say that Messi is the only good player at FC Barcelona

-Marcos: But we all know that's not true, Neymar, Suarez and Iniesta, are good players too.

-Guillem: Messi could be the best player in any team, Pau...

-Roger: And what do you think about their salaries?           :

-Marcos: I don't think that they're ok.

-Pau: But football generates a lot of money.

-Roger: In my opinion, they earn too much money for just kicking one ball.

-Guillem: But you have to take into account all of the business behind that ball, like all of the sponsors.

-Marcos: And what do you think about FCB stadium?

-Pau: FCB stadium is one of the most legendary stadiums with a lot of fans and an incredible history.         

-Roger: But the stadium is a bit old and others like MCI have a more modern stadium.

-Marcos: But remember that it will be redeveloped between 2017-2021!

-Pau: It will be one of top 3 stadiums in the world.

-Marcos: But it will cost a lot of money to build the new stadium.

-Guillem: FCB can afford to invest in a new stadium.

-Roger: But in a few years BARCELONA won’t be able to pay that amount of money.

-Pau: I don’t think so, in my humble opinion Barcelona earn a lot of money as they have so many sponsors.

-Marcos: Pau, I disagree that sponsors aren’t a major part of Barcelona's income I think they also earn money with the stadium and partners.

-Guillem: Sponsors are very important for the future of the club.

-Roger: In my professional experience in the 80´s when football wasn’t as developed as today teams didn't have as much money as teams today.

-Pau:  Personally, I agree with you, football was more attractive because players played for the football and not for the money.  

-Marcos: But Pau, Football in the 80´s wasn't as good as it is now.

-Guillem: It was Marcos, it was....

-Roger: well, I have to return home or my wife will kill me. Bye!
