pete0 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Paying £200mil for 1 player and paying them half a mil a week is a joke and it's bad for the game. Neymar has gone for the money and to be the best player in the team. Everything that is wrong about modern day football. No difference in the French and Spanish leagues, the big teams dominate to the point it's not even worth watching. At least in France the minnows put up a fight.

Romey 1878 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Oh and Barca will be laughing their arse off. £200mil for a player that can be replaced! Agreed. Barca won't even miss him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with him breaking up a super team slightly to see if he can do it without Messi and Cujo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to a weak league where other than beating Monaco, the whole season is built around the CL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I admire the guy. Easy street with Barca He would be a legend. Going to PSG he's putting his legacy on the line. If he fails, flop, if he does well he will cement that his is a legend. I think it's a brave move, they expect a CL victory now, massive pressure.

Bailey Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Not really... there are some clubs in Spain who can bear the top 2... the likes of athletico etc. Definitely. Add Sevilla to the mix as well. It's clearly a lot less competitive than the premier league but France is a step down again. Monaco have inky come back out of the doldrums in the last year as well and if all their players leave which is looking possible then they will be back there next season.

Aidan Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Bourough and Sunderland failing to pick up 3 points and AVFC currently beating Hull half an hour in. Just shows how poor these teams actually were last season. Or maybe how strong the Championship actually is, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll find out if he's the leader he and PSG think he's capable of being anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 he did say European football, not Champions League.... Is that an air of hope I sense Matt ??

Romey 1878 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 he did say European football, not Champions League.... The names of the clubs I said weren't based on his comment about European football. It was about him saying a few top clubs had shown interest. I'm not sure he'd be classing us in that way tbh. I did notice the European football comment and allowed myself a bit of hope though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only being looked at because Soton took a punt on him. Last year he only played half a season, think it would be fair for him to stay an extra year to show some appreciation.

Bailey Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Arsenal are shit at the back... Going forward pretty good. Welbeck looks sharp There are times Welbeck has looked brilliant, better than Lacazette. Shakespeare has done a great job with Leicester, clearly the architect of their title winning team. Really well disciplined and they cover every blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
