And don't forget - would you rather play for a manager who will play you in your best position, utilise you right and be in a front line of Ibra and Cavani or would you rather be shoved in the cm in a team with no game plan except to hoof it to Fellani? I think the answer is obvious
They've been trying since he signed him. Because that's what these parasite clubs do, bulk buy and then struggle to offload them. Everything I wrote was accurate. Using his goal tallies in Ligue 1 is like me using my Sunday league assist tally as evidence I am a top class midfielder. The French league is a joke. Before PSG magically appeared one club had won basically everything for a decade. Even the spl isnt that bad ffs. As for more competitive? No. None of us watched it for starters but from those who did, the consensus seemed to be that PSG barely even out any effort in and still won the title. Such is the terribly quality of the league as a whole. Anyone top player who joins the French league is weak minded. The very best players go to one of 3 leagues. There is no exception, this is no opinion. That is how it works. Di Maria came to England and realised that unlike in France or indeed Spain, the opposition might occasionally try and take the ball off you. (In Spain they just kick and in France the cowards just run away). Di Maria didn't like this so like any good coward, he's gone home. If some Albanian side from god knows where suddenly had 800billion injected into them, would they suddenly be a big club? Would you know who they were? Would players going there be going for Anything other than megabuck? No. The same applies to PSG.
Have you ever been to Paris? It's an absolute **** hole that's spends half its time on fire or in the midst of s strike. There's a very small part which happens to live up to its reputation. The rest is as bad as anything you will get in England. Di Maria lived in an area of north west England that is nothing but luxury. He came from the Argentinian slums ffs. Where **** runs through the streets and dogs eat other dogs. I would rather live in Manchester too. Over Paris. Less French people.
They're nowhere near the biggest club in France so how they could be a big club in any sense is a little strange. it's like saying Partick thistle are a big club. The only difference between them and PSG is Partick actually have Pogba.
It sure is. A world renowned manager who played a huge part in developing the football that currently dominates the sport or Larry White, a guy who once fell out with Nasri. Has there ever been an easier choice?
You bulk bought last Summer and yet you resorted to route one tactics and the likes of Fellaini and Young to secure you that 4th spot. First of all, . I don't even know where to begin with this stupidity. Secondly, that wasn't the point. The point was you said PSG had been trying to offload him for years, when he only joined two seasons ago. You made it sound like he'd been at the club for a long while. Why would they offload a player who scored 25 goals in his first season and improved on that tally in his second season, especially knowing that Ibrahimovic has hinted he would leave soon? Utterly illogical. Erm...Liverpool in the 70s and 80s? United in the 90s? Do you even read the stuff you write before you press send? Last season, yes it was. Chelsea were at the top of the table for the entire season and weren't knocked off a single time. In France, up until like March, there was about 5 teams in with a shout of the title. The same cannot be said about the Premier League in 2014/15. So Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Moutinho, Lucas Moura, Thiago Silva, Toulalan were weak minded for going to the French league? Maybe they just wanted a better shot at winning titles, earning nice money and live in a very desirable city? Ever thought of that? I've already explained to you why this isn't true, so I don't know why you repeated it. What has this got to do with anything I've said? Irrelevant comment. Besides, no-one actually cares about whether a club is big or not. I'm sure Silva, Aguero, Yaya Toure etc didn't care about the size of Man City when they joined. No-one cares, seriously.
You've taken it a bit too seriously. It was a dig at Di Maria and PSG. The fact remains that they are not a big club. They play in a poor league and have no European pedigree. It takes quite a bit more in order to be considered a big club. no player chooses to go to PSG for anything other than the money. I guess you missed the past decade where one of the hot topics in football has been these artificially enhanced clubs and the players who join them.
How has a team whose won European titles and gotten to the semis and quarters of the cl got no European pedigree?
Psg have won the european cup? I didnt know that. You wouldnt ve considering the uefa cup as evidence of a clubs european pedigree now would you (maybe having never won it yourselves you have your sights set lower). Reaching a semi final this one time also doesnt equate to a european pedigree. I find it highly amusing you guys are desperately trying to big up a nothing club like psg. I dont recall to many doing the same with Chelsea or City, both of whoch wrre significantly bigger clubs prior to the take over lf each. When psg are the biggest club in france, they can possibly be considereda big club. As it is they are some way behind Frances biggest club and frances most successful. Oil money does not make a big club. As arsenal fans you should know this better than most.
In 20 or 30 or 40 years time, do you honestly think people are going to look back into history and say "Yeah well, Chelsea and City were being subsidised by financial superpowers in Russia and Abu Dhabi, so we're just going to dismiss what they've won." No. No-one is going to care, they will be judged based on the accolades they would have won even after they were taken over by rich owners, not who was funding them because in the future, if we're going to be brutally honest, no-one will give a damn. More or less every single club in history have had owners or people within the club that have done dodgy things that don't toe the line.
I disagree. Chelsea and City will always be known for transforming the landscape of English football by injecting enormous amounts of money into clubs that were distinctly average before. Clubs like Arsenal, Utd and Liverpool may go for periods without trophies and the record books will show the names of Chelsea and City in there, but Arsenal, Utd and Liverpool have a long standing history of success built upon great players, managers and pedigree. Chelsea and City simply bought their success and history has recorded that.
But Man U aren't remembered for this - even though they did it in the 80s (or was it the late 70s?) - so much so they were called the Bank of England.
