Both of those happen to be the same person playing for Real? :confused:

Even Lukaku knows

No, Cal? is better at whinging - Messi is better at football, than everyone...ever
IN your opinion.

If you want to reopen this debate, go dig up that Messi v Ronaldo thread in the football forum.
 
This is just sickening.. Let him go whereever he want. Kid had only one good season and now entire world have to listen to his ever changing transfer preferences?
 
It’s kind of sad when a team build it’s renomé and hype around a couple of transfers, instead of the silverware won on the pitch or the values/history that it’s club stands for. I will cheer for the opposition in every game that PSG plays (with the exception of Liverpool or Leeds United of course!) and hope they fail massively with their natural gas financed star.
 
82-83, 86-87,88-89, 89-90. 90-91, 91-92, 93-94, 96-97, 97-98.

We were Real Madrid before being Real Madrid was cool, Barça fans have no moral superiority over any other club in the world, and specially not in splashing money to get players, we've done that for decades.

PSG breaking the record fee for Neymar and getting Mbappe in the same window is not something unseen, we did it in 1982! We destroyed the world record AND managed to sign 6 of the top 10 most expensive players the same window, even the Pope talked about how we were doing some crazy thing.

So, PSG might be using some shady moves to pull their transfers outside the FFP legality and being backed by a huge country, but philosphy wise? No top 10 team in Europe has grounds to feel superior and being cheated. When Mbappe joins PSG, I don't get why someone should moan about money

Good post :)

That's great. :lol:

@FCBarca doing his usual thing, ignoring the poster that embarassed him.
 
If that Mbappe+Fabinho transfer happens, why even bother with that league? Just give them the trophy already and be done with it. I hope that, after all this, someone else will win the ligue 1, but they have pretty much just bought the league.

Also Barca fans thinking players come to them out of love and nothing else. Becoming more delusional than Liverpool :lol:
 
If I was a Ligue 1 team, I'd line up with my reserve players as a statement against financial doping. They're gonna win anyway, right?
 
Some people defending PSG are missing the point in regards to FFP. I personally find it hilarious that PSG have taken possibly the best player in the world at the moment from Barca and they have embarrassed REAL by taking Mbappe from them when it is well known the young man is a huge Real fan. The problem most people have is that PSG is basically owned by a country pumping oil money into the team and they aren't making their money through football in a way that works with FFP. Real and Barca have gotten tax shields from Spain and done dirty deals for years so they don't have a right to complain (research how Barca got Neymar to begin with), but teams making their money the right way should get annoyed by this nonsense. The truth is even fans with the moral high ground would love some oil investment if they could buy whoever they wants when we complain we are a tad bit jealous.
 
150mil for an 18 year old.

220m for Neymar

PSG taking the piss.

Financial FairPlay taking the piss
 
And rightly so. His attitude seems awful and they've already got young talent like Asensio who's probably going to be a better player than him anyway. Good on Madrid for not paying the sort of ridiculous fee only PSG would pay.

what has he done that his attitude seems awful ?

pretty sure every team in the world has had massive investment at some point from an outside source, so not sure why the hatred for PSG in this post, how can a club now make history without big investment from an outside source? you mention liverpool but how long has it been since they won the league so how far back in history should players now look ?

I think you misunderstood me. I only mentioned Liverpool in the context of that I could never cheer on them, even if they played sugar daddy PSG
 
Mbappe and Neymar stuck in the French league for the rest of their careers.
 


I haven't believed the transfer gossip as it has basically come from the Sun and Espn. But when Romano tweets news it usually happens within 24 hrs. Hopefully this time he's wrong!

Got to feel sorry for Monaco. Makes a mockery of their achievement last season only for all the players to jump ship.

I don't understand why people aren't more outraged with what PSG are doing. If they get away with it with no real punishment (a fine does feck all!) what is stopping City doing the same next season? Or year after year? This is dangerous for all the top clubs in Europe.
 
I don't get how this is possible. Around 400m on 2 players?

The fees are spread across the length of contract. Both of them over 5 years (length of contract) is the same as PSG buying a player every year for 75m Euros. Something I assume most people know and understand isnt impossible.

Neymar is a release clause so it's all in one go, no installments.
 
Thanks.

For the regular transfer, is it common to pay in installment? Like when we bought Matic.

I get what @Josep Dowling concern. It is a mockery to French league when one team can spend 400m, while others are mostly selling or barely hanging on to their players. Might as well give PSG the league trophy.

Not how they pay but how its reported in their accounts.


How do PSG square such a big one-off fee with FFP?

The buying club paying in instalments or one-off payment doesn’t make much difference from an accounting perspective.

This is because PSG will account for the transfer in their FFP submissions by way of amortisation of the overall fee divided by the years of Neymar’s contract.

Even if it is paid in one lump sum the accounting cost per season will only be, in say a five-year deal, a fifth of the overall number.

It’s likely they will have to push through a lot of pretty lucrative commercial deals or maybe even more likely sell a number of players to recoup enough revenues to adhere to the FFP regulations.

If say, PSG have made profit in previous years for FFP accounting purposes, then that goes some way to subsidising any subsequent loss from the transfer of Neymar.

What outrage? They're doing what Bayern, Real, and many other teams have done in the past. They're buying their competition and reinforcing for the Champion's League. We all knew Monaco was not going to keep their core of players, between Manchester City and PSG, they got picked clean but that's been their decision. PSG has shown you can hang on to a player if you really want to, Monaco is just looking to rebuild off their massive over-achievement of last season. This really isn't much different than what Manchester United did with Rooney at the time, it was a massive transfer. Also, Mbappe is from Paris and I think they want to have the next big French talent representing the capital with Neymar.

The difference now is they are bullying the historic clubs for their own players and for players they want. That has never happened before to this scale.
 
It's a bit crap really. Guess I'm just glad he's not going to City.

Ligue 1 is a second rate league, I stand by that. It's a level below the four primary European leagues despite having two good European teams in recent years. I still don't think PSG will do much better in the CL than they have done recently, having an entirely uncompetitive domestic league surely will be a problem for them.

They'll probably secede from the French League and join another like Spain or Italy.

"It won't happen" you say? Anything is possible with money.

I know that, but after spending 200 all in 1 go for Neymar, you'd think they'd be tight on $$$.

Helps when a country funds them.

That will never happen. Celtic and Rangers made inquiries about joining the English league system years ago, and a team can't leave their federation to join another and be acknowledged by Fifa. The reason the Welsh teams are in the FA system is that they joined the English FA prior to Wales having their own FA. The only way PSG every joins another league is if a whole bunch of big clubs decide to break away from Fifa and create their own super-league. But, even if that happens, I doubt owners who spend money so recklessly to inflate the market would ever be invited, as the set-up would more likely be reflective of the franchise set-up in NA sports.

You are losing it bud. I think this would force an investor to buy a french club.
 
It was coming. So much noise the last few weeks, seems a matter of days now.

Never thought he would join PSG after the Neymar transfer, but if they are bidding so much money for him, not many clubs wouldnt sell. Seems like even Real were reluctant to pay the money
