Not sure how accurate that is, just a story doing the rounds at work today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he would be considered a new player and because he’s unregistered as a result of his contract ending it could be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably being harsh on him He is the best player of this generation, it was great seeing him win the copa America with Argentina.

Big Ramy 1314 Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 I am wondering if I read this correctly. Man City signed Grealish, and are going after Harry Kane, the total will be around 250 million for the 2.... Am I reading this right. What in the name of fuck is happening here...😳😳😳😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I’d be happy if Messi wins 2 more CL’s, 2 leagues and retires or moves to the US but it’s just beyond a joke now, apparently their wage bill is 500 million per year while other clubs in the league is 20 million. “Financial fair play” is a joke. None of this will surprise anyone on here and this has been an issue for years now but the same people salivating over Messi, Neymar and Mbappe (and I include myself in that) should realise that this is only helping the argument for a super league. TLDR. Love Messi but hate fitba 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFP is a pile of shite, it does nothing to even the playing field but then again it wasn't brought in to do that.

thplinth Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Many fans finally saw just what their rich owners are planning to do first chance they get. The super league. Over a hundred years of history and tradition will be thrown to one side as they all seek to enrich themselves to the cost of every national league in Europe (for sure but probably also longer term the world). These clubs sold their souls to the devil effectively when the sugar daddies bought them over. But these billionaire owners have absolutely zero emotional connection with the clubs or the fans of these clubs. I am pretty confident they most likely don't even like their fans very much. They'll be replaced by 'consumers' anyway as the future generation of glory hunters all gravitate around a couple of dozen totally soulless mega clubs while everything else withers. PSG are apparently are the heart of trying to pull it off along with the wanks running Real Madrid and Juventus. It will happen. They just were shocked at the fans reaction. Just shows how massively out of touch they are with them, clueless it seems. These owners will be kicking themselves that they tipped their hand too early. They'll let it die down, regroup and try again somehow until they get what they want. They have so much money and football at the top level is so incredibly corrupt... Could never support any club that Neymar plays for anyway. Parrot-heided cunt. Edited August 12, 2021 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think PSG stayed out of the super league drama, at least in the public but they’d be the first to jump if it was a viable option. Only a matter of time.

It's a fixed and repetative boring competition. Yes I know its where the best players play and the football is supposedly the best but for me football is not about that. I've been more entertained watching Highland League matches....... football doesn't need 22 billionaires on the pitch to be entertaining. The CL last 16 can be named before a ball is kicked and its down to what, 4 or 5 spaces unless you qualify through on of the super rich leagues? It's fucking disgrace.
