Very strange that City would pay extra for his formation rights, means they got a deal with Athletic? Athletic don't sell usually. They even refused €25m from us for Kepa, who had a €20m buyout clause...
 
We could do with our next muppet thread being ignited soon, still think we could really do with a CM this window.
 

I have no idea how true or false his statement actually is, but this has given me immense pleasure and satisfaction. They are the first one to ruin the beautiful game of football and ruin the fair and open competition amongst the clubs. I hope Roman gets bored soon and you go down in 2nd and then in 3rd division.

They are not the first, football has never been fair and it's not ruined.

Hardly fair when the Western European sides have been getting 4 teams in the CL and creaming all the money for years while the other side of Europe has had to live on scraps and sell any decent player they come by to them.

Some people seriously need perspective.

However, I do agree that Chelsea are finally getting their comeuppance, so a little bit of justice in there.
 
There’s nothing in that Luan link according to the more reliable Liverpool sources.
 
Most likely Conte has been told his budget is very limited and has decided to vent his frustrations at the market rather than his employers.

The money is there for all the big clubs, what a stupid thing to say. Chelsea can certainly spend but Abromovich is choosing not to.
 
Absurd that Newcastle haven't broken their transfer record from 2005 yet considering all the money in football, no other Premier League club has a record dating from more than 2015.

Well I would not read anything into that. They have been shut down by the club after the whole VVD fiasco. On Christmas the journalists probably would have sworn there is nothing going on with VVD either.

Furthermore if that release clause is true, why would you not be in for him? I bet there are like €30M in slave agent fees attached.

How much would a player that is

- 24 years old
- fully healthy
- current Brazilian international
- best player of the CL

get you in a completely blind auction?

Certainly more than €18M.
 



This guy will be gone by Summer. All the signs are there. He's clearly frustrated and his Russian billionaire boss is unwilling to release money to him because he knows he's bringing in someone else soon.

lol

without a salary cap, the competition is and never will be a 'fair and open' competition. if not for the sugar daddy money, we would be able to spend more than every club in the league and win practically every year. great for trophy collecting, but not great theatre.
