For all the stick that Qatar gets over financial doping and stuff, I think Al-Khelaifi for his part is a good owner who genuinely loves the club and wants to do his best to get them to the top. Not to mention that he is always incredibly civil to everyone publicly, unlike the likes of Rumminegge or Perez or Barca presidents who often run their mouths. Fair fecks.

If only Al-Khelifi took over united instead of PSG and the stingy Glazers sold the club to QIA "Qatar investment authority" when they offered 2.2 b $. United could have grown into an unstoppable team and we could have seen wonders every transfer market. But our destiny is bound to the stingy Glazers I guess.

I don't think bribes are even necessary, not when you have saleable assets like Lucas, Di Maria and Maquinos. Neymar puts a hole in their FFP by what amount exactly? Given that they hadn't spent a huge amount I guess it could be by about €100m which they can easily cover through genuine player sales in this market.

Not sure if serious.

Hate being reminded about how much we've spent. We really should have a significantly better team for that money.
 

Riyad Mahrez still wants to leave Leicester City but he will "continue to give his best for the club" until they accept an offer


Mahrez interested in speaking to Roma at right time: "They're great club who I'd like to talk to. I can’t until Leicester accept a deal"

Yesterday AS Roma offered € 35 mln according to DiMarzio..

According to french journos who are close to the FFF, LFP and ECA, both Rummenigge and Perez like Al Khelaifi, they allegedly think that he is competent and they like the fact that he is a straight shooter behind the scene.
 
Why have they sold a 20yr old who they can think can potentially be a 50m player in the near future? Shocking stuff.
Because Aguero is 29 and will probably be done in 3 or 4 years time. If Iheanacho cuts it up at Leicester then they have got a ready made replacement for £50m. If he doesn't they look elsewhere.
 
Pfft. Everybody has some skeletons in their closets. Rather that, than this:


The difference being that PSG owners have actually skeletons in their closets, so they can pay for Neymar.

Yeah, when you have bribed, money-laundered and killed workers to host a World Cup, FFP is like getting a parking ticket.
 
Not sure whether this is posted.



ParisUnited called Sky sports fake when they reported ManUtd won't sign Aurier.
 
Who the hell are ParisUnited6? Sounds like a Twitter account some 18 year old French Utd supporter would make.

Sounds dubious but they've been spot on with every PSG transfer recently. Must be somebody with close connections somewhere. They're the only ones that reported strongly about Aurier also, so we shall see.

You seem to forget that they are only 150m below us because of the FFP otherwise they would have spent much more than what we can, you also forget to mention that we cant match the salary they are offering Neymar. Other thing is when they come and buy a club like united, they wont loan billions from banks and put that debt on the club. Instead they will come and make the rich manchester united FC even richer. The Glazers took over united and made it in 400m £ debt in one night and a big sum of the revenue goes down the toilet paying the interest of the loan that the Glazers put on the shoulders of the club.

I don't know, but Lemar looks like one of those playmaker that starts from wide but tends to move and play centrally, rather than the likes of Perisic, Moura, and even Dembele that tends to stay wide more. I may be wrong, but he looks more suited to those attacking midfielders that play for Arsenal. A Pires instead of a Giggs.

I believe United already have that type of players in Mata, Micky, Lingard even at lesser quality. With the rumour of Perisic, I think Mou looking for a different type that would stay wide and provide both pace and width.

That's why Wenger wants to sign him to play cm :wenger:

Some great news for Liverpool fans to read today - Barcelona have reportedly ended their interest in Philippe Coutinho !

The Reds have absolutely no intention of offloading their Brazil international, but Barca have a jaw-dropping £198m to use to fill a Neymar-shaped hole in their squad - and Coutinho was their number one target.

However, reports in Italy have now claimed that Barca have turned their attention to Juventus star Paulo Dybala.

Corriere dello Sport AND Gazzetta dello Sport have both reported that Argentina international Dybala is now at the top of their transfer list.

Hurrah!

Reds fans can breath a sigh of relief then? We shall see...

Coutinho is seen as the Iniesta replacement than the Neymar replacement. If Dybala is at the top of their transfer list it just means that they won't be signing Dembele.

Italian papers usually chat rubbish anyway. Only reputable source from Italy is Di Marzio in my opinion.

The saddest truth. This 220m for Neymar is money that should be within the country of Qatar tackling huge amounts of poverty, but instead it belongs to egotistic monarchs who only care about showing off their wealth.

Barca usually do this. Say they're ending interest to get a player to force the move. It all depends on Coutinho himself...
