He's probably 4x as good as Eric Dier I reckon

Can he provide us with the balance Perisic can?
I really dislike Neymar and his face.
Lovely footballer though.
Ligue 1 is shite too.

It's not just that. Paying a RC means you have to come up with the whole sum, cash, in one go. You probably need to be a sheihk-run enterprise to facilitate such a deal
PL clubs shop for youngsters/players with potential. It says a lot that these players are so willing so move abroad rather than stay in France. Ligue 1 is probably not poor, but it's a good quarry.
When you consider the wages we're saving after getting rid of Rooney, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger et al then we could easily afford to give him a ridiculous salary to entice him here.
If he's actually moving then we should throw our hat into the ring like.

It sort of makes sense from Barcelona's perspective. Neymar is obviously a phenomenal player, but selling him - more importantly getting his large wage off the sheets - would make them a lot stronger in fixing the rest of the side. Aren't they constantly hamstrung in going for players because Messi, Neymar, and Suarez take an audacious sum of wages between them?
Few and you buy so much? Actually this year Ligue 1 has coaches like Lucien Favre, Jardim, Bielsa, Emery, Garcia and so on, produces great players on their academies, and clubs like Monaco have world class scouting, but sure they are really poor
Are they organizing orgies for his uncles as well?
I know that stuff about marketing and kit sales making the money back has been disapproven time after time, but fecking imagine the marketing power this floppy haired cnut would give us coupled with our global presence.
There wouldn't be sold a shampoo bottle, a tractor or a pack of noodles in the world without his mug and our name on it.
Might actually financially make sense this even though the initial sum and the weekly wages would be beyond ridiculous.

They move abroad because they earn more money, simple as that.
Maybe that is why Woodward had to stay behind? He is working on something big?
I'm choosing to believe that we're in for him, thus I am unzipping right now.

Di Marzio is usually spot on but this is bollocks.
In any case, we'll make back all the money from shirt sales alone. Just need to wait till the stock markets close so that we can announce the signing.
He would get battered in the premier league. Refs aren't as kind.
Yeah buying so much over the years. Not all in one year. Like I said its individuals who have potential that they are buying. But in terms of competition, it is poor. Same with the Portuguese league and Dutch league.Few and you buy so much?

If they struggled to meet FFP to bring in DiMaria, hence why he ended up with us how do they intend to manage to spend 200mil on Neymar? Papers making up rubbish again.
He signed a new one last July. They do have massive issues with their wage structuring, but I doubt they'd care about that right now if they were on the verge of losing their most marketable asset who is also touted to be Messi's heir.
I thought we announce deals when stock market opens in USIn any case, we'll make back all the money from shirt sales alone. Just need to wait till the stock markets close so that we can announce the signing.
No it isn't, and the Premier League is not the best league in the world also.
I was thinking the same thing, especially if he is unsettled. If they reinvest wisely they could build a better team, less reliant on the front three.
I think it also has to do with the fact that foreign teams are better. But in any case, even if they move for money, they are still moving abroad. And that makes the league weaker when the best gems are being extracted and not staying to realise their potential.
PSG is an exception to the rest of the league. Monaco is slowly but surely being dismantled.
I understand where you are coming from, if I were him, I'd be tempted too. Titles guaranteed every year and going far in the Champions League, glamorous city etc. But it says about his character as well, going for the easy route and choosing such a lop-sided league. I just think its a waste of his talent to play in Ligue 1, a player of his caliber should be in a competitive league.Why not? Would be playing for a club with ambition to win the Champions League every year, brasilian internationals, great city, better than going for City
Crazy money but it's not outrageous in relative terms. Some one like a Morata, Belotti, Lukaku etc are like 90m ish. Neymar is double the player and thrice more marketable.

Yeah but he has all that already at Barca, just with better weather and playing next to the best player on the planet on top.
Kante and Mahrez were at Monaco?
Hazard does alright, and Neymars much better than him.
I think you need to look some of those up
And could he do it on a wet and windy Wednesday night at Stoke?
Spoiler, just in case some people haven't caught up with the series yet...
He ends up staying, with a pay rise
I think he was making a point not all good players in France started/played for Monaco.
I think we would move for him if available. We would have to.
Thinking from Woody and the owners perspective, which greatly appreciates commercial appeal:
He has nearly 80m Instagram followers. To put that in perspective, our highest profile player Pogba has 16.5m.

the best player on the planet plays for Real Madridtbh, i'd rather we would have done that than spending the money we spent on..you know what, nvm
would be interesting if they did tho, wonder if he'd move

I knew as soon as I wrote that you'd pounce.
Fair enough mate.
Didn't the owner of PSG say a few years back that if Barcelona tried to take their stars he would just activate Messi's clause.
This will just be posturing to warn them off Varratti.......
......but we should match it lol!

It does seem like one day he will probably move from Barca for a new challenge.
The thing is i think Barcelona are willing to offload him if he tries any of the contract renewal thing on them. That would be fun to watch if that's really the case
If they are willing, it could happen. But again, activating a release clause requires you to pay upfront in cash. 220m in cash is quite a lot...
On the one hand the money is crazy, on the other transfer fees have actually been lagging behind revenue growth. e.g Real Madrid's revenue is nearly 5 times what it was in 2000 when they paid 60m€ for Figo.
