World Football Thread....

Real madrid bidding 137m for Mbappe, Apparently one of the biggest agents in the world is working on the deal, that's according to SSN.

We really do live in bizarre times when the agents are getting headlines and a player in his final year of a contract is worth 137m. 

Does anyone on here watch that level of football nowadays? I'd be more likely to watch a film or box set before I turned on a CL match

I hadn’t even realised Spanish football was on Amazon these days until last week – swithered about getting it but found out you had to take an Amazon subscription then a La Liga subscription on top of that so thought ‘fuck that’. I used to watch everything but now can barely be arsed sourcing a stream for the Stoke games even though they’re only a fiver if you live outside UK. 

Watched the Serie A documentary on BT about when it was on Channel 4 – really good if you haven’t seen it.  Thing that struck me though was that they had 3m watching the first Italian game they showed back in 91/92 and it didn’t even have Gazza – think from memory the box office ticker tape Premier League games get 2-3m.  As such the game hasn’t grown but the same punters are just getting milked for more and more via different providers.  I got BT purely when Stoke got promoted and we were on once all season getting pumped away to Liverpool - still got their internet now.

Was that the ones with James Richardson ?

Very good documentary and memories from watching the matches back in the day.

Yeah mate that's the one - mad how they bought the first season rights for Serie A for what would get 20 minutes of a Premier League game now! 

Bit of nostalgia porn:

No agent should make a penny from that transfer. I suspect it was fergie who made it happen and I doubt the player was ever going to city.

And that’s what makes him a super agent. Fair play to him for being able to make millions for something that would happen without him!!
