Just when I thought football couldn't become anymore disgusting. Thanks Neymar & father. On the bright side, I always wondered whether someone could construct Scrooge McDucks money vault & actually swim in gold pieces, turns out you can.
Yea like I said I read about it the other day , I think deals like this are just the start of a whole box full of problems for football, its not sustainable.
Apparently La Liga are kicking off about it, not suprising seeing as they are losing the next Ballon D'Or winner from the league. Didn't see them kicking off when Qatar Foundation sponsored Barca for ridiculous levels of money a few years ago
Great to support s team that tries to do things sensibly/sustainably/frugally* isn't it? *take your pick
Depends if you ever want to regularly challenge/win stuff. Although it would be funny if Neymar received the money, bought out his contract then joined another team on a free
Reckon loads of dodgy **** will come out about this deal in years to come. Can't believe he's going to France too at his age.
For what it's worth, I think it's sensible. As do our board. As does Daniel Levy. As it would seem do the likes of Brighton (who are far more likely to be relegated than we are).
Nothing directly. I'm talking about teams deliberately not getting involved in the mad spending (as was Fats).
Ohhh my bad for some reason I read it as he was supporting PSG/ finding a way get him without actually paying,
And can we add the vast majority of teams in La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga and not going to get into a ridiculous bidding war. I see Roma are reluctant to go above £32m for the Leicester player. They could wait until the last few hours of the transfer window to see if Leicester bite or wait until the next one and get him on a reduced price.
Thats why I was so mythed about his response. No I agree, dont like Levy but hes right on this one. As for Brighton I dont know about their situation tbh.
It was what I meant... good that we don't get involved in this crazy pricing ****.... ... but hey, let's pretend I didn't mean that and have a row anyway? I said I wouldn't do that this summer (and I haven't) but it's kind of dull.
