It's strange (in a sad way) that we have totally gone off the boil in the transfer marker. Hopefully woody and his team are preparing a new strategy and we sign 2 more players quickly.
Seriously, how is FFP not a thing anymore?!
Or you know...we have no clue what Mourinho wants and City are bulk-buying and hoping one will stick. But sure...our guys need to look up City and learn, right Mosey....
Chelsea close to buying another player to loan out, not happy until they have 100 players on their books.
Very nice of them. Another buy to rent.
Woody isn't at the golf is he?
I wouldn't be able to keep my face straight.This is brilliant.
We are not trying to win the PL in four or five years time we need to win it in the next 2 so if jose wants Matic, Ed should get him
Would not count on that. There will be plenty of players who will put off any move until the WC is done.
I think it will be 50/50, a couple right away and a couple after the WC is done.
I'm fairly numb to the prices of players like Walker going for £45m but when you see those sorts of figures it turns my stomach a little bit.
It shouldn't turn your stomach, journos have spent a good time pretending that Ibrahimovic was on twice the wage he was actually on.
It's the weekly wage that sickens me the most really, it's disgusting money.
PSG are about to break the transfer market. I really hope the transfer doesn't happen.
I think what we should consider is that the 196 million is his release clause rather than Barca accepting silly money.
Either that or he will be kicking and screaming for a big pay rise.
Barca are desperate for cash too, this will help them a lot.
Weird report as contracts over 5 years are not allowed in France.
IIRC, that's what he earns without his image rights.
Well what would they do with the money otherwise? It´s not like Qatar could use half a billion euros to improve the working conditions at the World Cup construction sides, so literally hundreds of poor people don´t die. Neymar takes priority.
Checked the marca article. Tweet missed a key word, "netos". That means after tax. Also there's a €40M signing bonus(before tax)
Well that's too bad for him
I don´t think this specific deal does break the market in all honesty theirs very few players at the level of the Neymar´s Messi´s and Ronaldo´s level and with Neymar he brings a huge commercial value with him to. I do believe the market has gone mad and i actually think were on the right track not just paying what is asked as we will screw up our future dealings. Look at City most clubs know they can ask whatever they want and get it from them and surely now more than ever ffp has to come in and take its full affect and punish clubs fining them is pointless they need to have transfer bans etc for it to be obeyed.
As if it's gonna happen...
Except that's not what Marca said, they're saying he'll get 30m net.
Sky telling porkies again?
Question, is anyone else getting a little bit fed up with the sort of money exchanging hands these days? As a football fan I'm starting to feel more and more disconnected with the game at the top level (and yes I felt the same when we spent money on Pogba last summer).
English media in general don't seem reliable with prices, which is expected as it's hearsay at the end of the day.
I personally don't give a toss. I just see a players has moved clubs and don't care about the fees involved.
It doesn't bother me. I was no more connected when the best players were costing £4 million.
You could relate to footballers at one point, but now they're getting paid movie star money you can sense that they're becoming more and more self entitled.
Look at rugby players of today, that's the time I liked football, idols! Now football is filled with cnuts I despise, granted you get a few Herrera's etc but they're few and far between these days.
