lol I tagged @snowbear earlier wondering if he was the one who gave him the appropriate tag.
@Snowjoe
I pointed all this out. I even went as far as to point out that City haven't dominated while we've been down and that the league has been spread across 3 teams since we last won it and he is still arguing he's right?
Barca have been well and truly bullied into submission. If they weren't such an arrogant bunch I'd almost feel sorry for them.
Who gets his image rights? This is the most talked about transfer since CR7 they are bound to make a hat full of endorsements off of him. I can see a boat load of companies from Qatar wanting a piece of the action.
Even that is arguable, in that time period City have 2 titles and 2 league cups, we have a league title, an FA cup, a league cup and the europa
That's quality.
let's see how many smiles you use when they do it to us
release clauses don't matter FFS!
I feel like we need one of those sad charity adverts for Barcelona. You know the ones that show footage of poor children with sad music playing and then at the end the music picks up a bit as a message of hope is delivered before asking for your money.
My concern in regards to this investment is the instability it causes.
Clubs such as United, Arsenal, Bayern, Barcelona, Juventus, and others are able to spend money because they built successful brands from a foundation of success on the pitch, and as such have stable business models. The likes of City, PSG, I'd also throw in the RB clubs into the mix too and to a lesser extent Chelsea are only able to spend this money is due to the wealth of an investor / owner.
If, hypothetically speaking, clean renewable energy was discovered and patented, causing oil to become obsolete as a fuel source, many of these clubs would end up facing liquidation.
I know it's an unrealistic hypothetical, but the successes of these clubs are built of very shaky foundations. Imagine if a club's owner decided they didn't fancy it anymore and suddenly refused to fund transfers, where would this leave them?

I don't agree with the notion that money has ruined football. It's actually made it more interesting. Players and managers are assets now, continuously moving forward. Every year there's a huge shift in quality and power between teams.
Football was never going to stay the same since its inception, especially in the world we live in now. Maybe roughly 100 years ago, the notion of spending on players being a "thing" was still new and, honestly, I wouldn't have been interested. The finance of the game is, I think, something to be marvelled at. It's not just a kick about anymore... there's money, contracts, agents, clauses, profit, loss etc... I'm looking forward to seeing how Barca try to bounce back from this, maybe they'll try for Dembele.
A lot of people don't realise for themselves, but they enjoy the summer window almost as much as the season itself. I think that's cool and I respect that. Makes a lot of sense, it has such a huge say on the actual season.

Wait until 2040 when we ban petrol/diesel cars. That will do 'em.
You are not alone to think that.
I will just highlight these and ask you how they did it? What Agnelli and Berlusconi for example did?
A free market economy, or a competitive economy as an ideal, is one idea of fair competition. So they aren't as much linked, as different levels in the hierarchy of a (quite popular) theory.
Mourinho? Nah He's going no where and we are not sacking him even if we dont win title next year.
The Fee Mbappe will go for wil be the craziest.
So I started the last year's Pogba thread and this year the Neymar thread. Suggestions for next season?
On a side note, does anyone else feel sorry for clubs like Tottenham. It feels like oil money clubs are set to rule football and clubs like spurs that are trying to break into Europe's elite the right way seemingly will never get a fair chance to compete.
PSG rubbing it in
That is quite funny to be fair. It would be even funnier if they sold him to us
.I agree. Diverse definitions and ways of thinking.
Harry Kane, Griezman and Marquinhos
Such lucky feckers.
Wish we had owners like that. Incredible business.

Yeah, like we were going to do with Griezmann and Aletico.
But.. ya, feck those big bullies Barcelona.
He's basically called the French league shite a few years ago.
Say what you can about Jose, but he goes for the tough jobs .
Real with Barca at their best ever.Us who were shite...Inter That had failed for years in Europe
PSG are going to absolutely milk this one, aren't they?
Done dealio then. Make a thread in FF someone.
