Yeah but the bit about state funded clubs distorting the market ? Isn't it the same affect as we are having ?

Exactly. They seem like spoilt babies over at La Liga HQ.
Has someone dug up their numbers and compared to real football clubs?
I don´t think Málaga can be in the same conversation as City or PSG, but even in their case if I remember well they were banned from European competitions.
The money come from the same place, whether it's 10£ or 10m£. If you think that state fund is bad, it's always bad, it can't be only bad when it threatens you.
Of course, but in that case both teams should be banned following Málaga´s example.
Malaga got banned because they failed to pay players, clubs and employees in time, on top of breaching the 5m deficit rule.
Yes!, you are right, sorry, not the best example
Would love Alderweireld here tbh.
La Liga complaining about state-aid is
Not that I disagree with the notion, but it really should have come from somewhere else.
Should have been Monaco!
La liga should also look into fair distribution of the TV contracts in their own league , this selectivness is hypocracy.
It depends on the player.
The original idea was that we have to reign in the club's that are inflating the market. We spent the same. Surely we are inflating the market too.
We are spending what we earn. Thats not inflating, Inflating is basically dumping money into a sector that wasnt earned in it. Like printing money and distributing it haphazardly. United always spent big but being a business we actually cared about prices and value. If some one like PSG or Man City are coming in and spending way above market at a rapid pace then Inflation will take place. We have nothing to do with it
LaLiga complaining about state aid
Words can't describe how much I despise Spanish football, I think I actually like PSG now.Good. Let's hope City and PSG get sanctioned.
Not Lisbon but Benfica.
You say that now...
I would assume the player gets to decide if he wants to go or not and probably did not want to go to China or play in that league.
and followed shortly by going into administration/liquidation due to their owners pulling the plug because they won't be allowed to buy their shiny toys and outdo each other
Apparently it is explained more here: https://www.facebook.com/pauloteixeira92/posts/1702411843102415
Wow that's going to be 1 almighty mess when google translate shits that out!
La Liga worried that City might attempt to take Messi next summer? Worried that if he follows Neymar out of their league and Ronaldo coming to the end of his days in the top flight they will soon have nothing to shout about?
However if Messi was to leave he will probably end up at PSG. PSG the new Barcelona

Leicester are fecked.
Not really. Obviously, they would have wanted to replace Drinkwater, but they've done good enough in their first three games without him.
They have N'Didi, King, James and Amartey who can operate in the centre midfield area.
We might need a thread on press gossip 2017-2018 to spruce up this place, but I can't really justify creating such a thread merely to ask this: Can someone summarise the interview with Jose that the Times are posting (according to the BBC gossip column)?
Very harsh of FIFA.
So Leicester have bought a player who cannot play for them, or he returns back to his selling club?
Educated guess is he would return to Sporting for the time being. He is registered as Sporting player on the paper at the moment since the registration with Leicester fell through.
I don't get why clubs like doing last minute deals when they had the entire window to complete their signings.
TBF, Leicester was only forced to buy when Chelsea bought Drinkwater from them. Don't understand why Leicester decided to sell when this deal is not closed, though...

Because they were offered £35m of real, actual money for Danny fecking Drinkwater.
Is that possible since transfer window is closed? Or do Turkish League follow different rules?
Next year we'll get a month of this!
