If you take the last 6 seasons, City had better results in EPL and in Europe as well. Pretty sure it checks out.
No white text? It's clearly shady what they're doing, even if it is funny.
They've renamed him Moneymar on the Barca forum.
How is it shady if they sell players? How can anyone call it shady before the window ends?
What is shady? A club can give the money to the player.
They're paying a release clause, that's what they doing. What is shady about that?
That's funny for some reason
This is precisely what a guilty person would say.
He doesn't care about history. That means little to a player that wants the best from their career. United's credibility in those terms made a difference when we were still at the top of game. As things stand, he'll enjoy being a part of that team more than ours, I imagine.
Yes to bypass FFP, that is shady and i will be surprised if UEFA dont act on it.
Ironic, that title would have been apt the moment he signed for them in the first place
Imagine if neymar used that Quatari money to buy out his contract then joined Utd for free. Now that would be funny
Perhaps this deal will get La Liga to rethink having release clauses in all contracts. EPL doesn't mandate release clauses, or France, Germany, etc.
And then Barca buy Coutinho to replace him
Got to hand it to PSG. From getting thumped 6-1 and being bullied over Verratti, they have brought Barca down on their knees, whining to UEFA and La Liga like a kid that had its' candy swiped. Instead of being one of the most historic wins for Barca, now nobody is gonna remember Remontada anymore.
Why he's not going to Leicester.Have they roped in Shakespeare for this transfer?
Barcelona initiated this by trying to unsettle Verratti. It's hilarious that PSG snubbed them of that and then took their second best player in a few weeks. Barca have been cnuts to other clubs for years, about time they got their medicine. "Guilty" or not, who cares. It's comeuppance I wanted to see. Plus they're using oil money, why does it matter if it's used on one superstar player vs. a bunch of them (like City does)?
I am so torn about this.
One part of me loves the salt from Barca, and it serves them right for years of tapping up other teams players, but the other side of me fears that if this goes through without any ramifications for PSG we'll see them and City absolutely taking the piss in the transfer market for years to come.

If it's shady, then UEFA will investigate and punish the parties if needed.
Is there any reason or precedent of UEFA stopping the deal beforehand?
If Barca can use the money to strengthen the team as a whole I don't think they'll be too fussed about losing Neymar.
We don't really know about that.
I hope he knows, he will not leave PSG easily.
PSG never sell their best players, so if he signs a 5 year contract he is there til he is 30.

I agree with everything you say. But you are looking at it from a 'fairness' pov as opposed to a market forces pov.
QATER INC value the sponsorship of Manchester City differently to AN Other company.
Let's say your evaluation method values the sponsorship value at £10m. What happens when there are more than one interested party? The price goes up. Likewise the value to an established corporation will be less than a newer entity seeking to make a name for themselves.
Of course it's a cash flow sham with sugar daddies washing money into the clubs bank accounts. But I don't think your suggestion would work.
I'm very aware of the valuation methods you talk about and they are critical for a bidder to understand as part of a negotiation strategy. But after that, market forces take over.
Why is it fair that Manchester United paid £90 for Pogba and in doing do inflated the entire premium transfer market? Same principle applies
I agree with you though that of all the media inventory, sponsorship remains the least quantifiable with many execs not understanding how it works and how to maximise it. Despite being an easily targetable Manchester United fan, I've never been approached through other media by AIG, AON, Chevrolet or any of our other many sponsors.
How do the Barca fans see Neymar now?
222m to spend. Crazy. Going to be some major tapping up going on.
Didn't Barca feck over Santos?
Can't see there being much sympathy for Barca here, they are getting a huge amount for a player that doesn't appear to want to be there.

I'm struggling to understand why Barcelona would even want Neymar to stay after his head has clearly been turned (and for a while going by the last couple of years).
They get a stupidly large fee for him and they can move on. He's never been Messi's level so it's not even like when United lost Ronaldo all those years ago.
The bitterness is a bit confusing to me.

Great news. Why should the same tired two clubs hog all the best players. I hope Neymar scores a hattrick in the Cl final against Barca and wins the golden ball.
Wish something like this happens to Madrid also in the future.
So Neymar is officially out of his Barca contract now then?
Yup respect to the Qataris. They played this poker game beautifully. On a side note, I hope being able to trigger release clauses are included in FIFA 18

Pretty good I guess.
What does 'disciplinary responsibility' mean?
On what grounds have la liga refused the payment?

Barca is pissed because they are used to tapping up players and getting their own way.
They tried with Verratti and PSG threw it right back in their face and took their 2nd best player.
Barca better relax before PSG activates Suarez's release clause next
On Canal+ like the rest of us.
Yeah I have to agree, it can only be a form of pettiness and frankly, immaturity regarding the matter.
It does seem like they're mortally offended that another club even dared to take one of their star players.
I literally have no clue what da fuq is going on here. Will this or will this not be a £200m transfer? Or just a load of rich people playing games in the football world.
