PSG will hand UEFA a bulging brown envelope and the investigation will be closed.
Looks like bald twat has brought over the whine tactics from Barcelona, to City.
Rather than announce they are doing it, they should just do it and then announce the results.
That isn't what happened last time they breached it and they were warned they would be expelled from the CL if they didn't buck up so if i were PSG I'd be sweating right about now.
If they did that, they might not get their money....
Ye of little faith. City and PSG's owners game UEFA like little punks. A £500 Million sponsorship from Cat Harry Cat Food coming down the line for PSG soon.
Maybe but they will investigate any suspicious sponsorship as they did with City to make sure here Ethidad Airways sponosrship represented real value. PSG will have to play smart.
I doubt they will ban a team with Neymar in it. Slap on the wrist at worst.
I'm sure they do from a financial perspective, but if you view the players as an asset then you can't fault a player who views himself in the same way. A few years ago he was a player they wanted to build a team around - or at least develop into a player who they could sell on for big money. A few problems, he drifts down the pecking order and they're newly cash rich with a new owner and all of a sudden he's dispensable and they want to cash in.
To be fair to him, he seems to want to move for the right reasons - that is he feels he'll develop as a player better elsewhere. He seemingly wanted to go to Spurs and when that didn't come up he decided to see what happens rather than take a move somewhere he didn't want to go and where he perhaps thought he'd be in the same position he's in now sat on the bench.
I certainly wouldn't feel any guilt if I were him, and I'm sure Everton would happily take advantage of the situation if a player wanted to move there on a free after running down is contract.
Fair enough.
But the fans wont see it that way.
The Everton forums are baying for blood.
How is that Arsenal's problem? If Sanchez signed a contract then that's his look out. No legal recourse against Arsenal.
That's the fickleness and general stupidity of fans.
I wonder how many of them would move to another job miles away where they didn't particularly want to go to keep their current employer happy.
And if the above is right, and he didn't have a medical at all and simply turned the move down then the owner should be asked why he said that if it isn't true.
We fans our hypocrites.
A look at the their Oumar Niasse thread shows how the fans treat players they no longer want.
Munir on loan to Alavés
Guedes loaned to Valencia.
Valencia doing well in the market.
When does the transfer window close for all the other European leagues ?
Is it right that only Spain is still open ?

Nothing story. If the player is at the club he has to be registered if there is room to do so.
The fact he would cost significantly less gives Arsenal more reason to not bother selling him. May as well just keep him for the remaining 4 months and let him go on a free.
Wasn't that long ago squad numbers were confirmed and he's in them: http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-F.../premier-league-squad-numbers-for-united.aspx
I'd be surprised if he was to leave now.

he has a strange face
“He’s the world’s best in terms of analysing the opposition, game preparation and coming up with solutions.”
– Toni Kroos
“Pep thinks about football 24 hours a day. He covers every angle to the smallest detail and he always demands 100 per cent in training and in games.”
– Robert Lewandowski
“Pep makes a player better. He’s helped me to understand football better. We work a lot on tactics, he’s taught me with 200 videos. He taught me a completely different role as a central defender than I was playing under Marcelo Bielsa [at Athletic Bilbao]. He dared to ask [Philipp] Lahm to play in the middle, he made [Jerome] Boateng the best central defender in Europe with the ball at his feet. He hates it when players get hurt, because, first of all, he appreciates you as a person. He makes you feel important. That’s crucial for us on a mental level.”
– Javi Martinez
“When we are in possession, tactically he is the best coach in the world for me. He works hard, watches a lot of games, and prepares us really well. Guardiola has the feeling for gaping spaces, and he already had that as a player. He’s a perfectionist.” – Arjen Robben
“I have learned a lot from Pep. He’s a genius. I can learn more from him in an hour than from others in one year. He not only lifts you to the next level on the pitch, but also in your mind. He has revealed totally new options to me. I did not know that was possible when I got to Munich. He found a new position for me.” – Douglas Costa
Pep never stops thinking. I will give you an example. We beat Dortmund 3-0 last month. We were on the plane, very happy as we’d beaten our biggest rival, but he sat at the front, opened his laptop and started preparing for the next match. He is obsessed with football.”
– Karl-Heinze Rummenigge (December 2013)
“He is more like a genius who reads the game and covers every situation imaginable. He is always showing us how to create space and find solutions and there is no manager like him, which makes him probably the best in the world.”
– Ilkay Gundogan
“Pep doesn’™t just give you orders, he also explains why. That makes you a better footballer because you learn the reasoning behind his instructions.”
– Gerard Pique
“He gives you so many solutions for when you are then in the middle of a game, and nearly all of them turn out to be the right solutions when you apply them.”
– Andres Iniesta
“Intelligence is often expressed in how well you adapt to where you are, to your circumstances. And he is very, very intelligent. He would adapt to any football anywhere. He is a perfectionist, obsessive: he keeps going until he gets it right, no matter what he’s doing. If Pep Guardiola decided to be a musician, he would be a good musician. If he wanted to be a psychologist, he would be a good psychologist.”
– Xavi

Sounds like Valencia are quite desperate for him. If he can be a key member it might come United good in the long run even though he would be a good backup.
Might be worth it in that case, I think he should stay and be given minutes but if he isn't going to get them early on (I'm sure somebody mentioned José not typically rotating much at the start of the season) and he's going to be a key player for them, might make sense to give him 4 months there playing regularly and come back ready to hit the ground running and starting games.
