I have an aversion to gold and they look far too blingy but a lovely gesture and footballers love a bit of bling

 

[Weststander]

For a special player, Messi’s quite good too.

Worth the(ir) weight..

 

[Icy Gull]

Pleased he chose an Iphone, good man

 

[scooter1]

Very generous, horrible looking thing IMHO

 

[Tom Bombadil]

If you're going to waste money on a gold phone you might as well go the whole hog and overpay for an iphone at the same time.

You mean there are others?

 

[SAC]

Shows that money can't buy taste.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Better than those dreadful gold rings Pogba bought for his team-mates after they won World Cup 2018.

For Messi, about an hour's wage for each phone. He also seems to have paid over list price. You can get them for £3k each; he paid £5k. Also, having "Patrick Group" and "IDesign Gold" as part of the engraving...?? Is it just me that's thinking there's no way he paid £175k for them?

And yes - bloody horrible.

Other than that, s'ok , I spose.

£175k to Messi is what, a weeks wages?

Not dissimilar to mere mortals on £26k spending £500 - except our disposable income is less affluent?

According to most sources £175,000 is less than what he takes home in 2 days.

He’s on around 1m a week once sponsorship is added on, so just over a days work.

 

[Gabbafella]

They've probably released another 12 iPhone models since that photo was taken.

3 days wages?

 

[hart's shirt]

Should've got an Omsung Phine.

Messi reportedly earns £1m/week (club wages alone, not including sponsorships, and other income)

 

[US Seagull]

Why wouldn't he get them engraved in Spanish?

I suspect the pictures are supposed to be mock ups rather than the final product.

Same amount of Omsung Phines too.
