Sith Happens Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Actually looks like his transfer to PSG might be happening for £198 million, unreal amount of money. Also sounds like Man Utd bid £170 for him last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 His dad has made more money than Messi over recent years. All the money behind this deal is shady, from who is paying to where it's going. This is the official football has gone crazy transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Media have kept this one quiet. I know, world record fee will generate huge interest, just any transfer like this grinds my gears a little. Football League starts this week not that the MSM are paying much attention, fully expect the Football's back stuff to come out next week, completely oblivious as to where those clubs that come up are from. Premier League sells, it does, but you can't tell me the Football League fans in this country is a small number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Premier league is the globalised corporatist version of football which is inexorably moving away from its roots. Football league is considerably smartened up and more commercial than its ever been but is still thankfully a mainly domestic product for a domestic audience.

i-Ram Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Mel will be wincing. Another benchmark established which will only serve to inflate prices of everyone below. Someday, and l hope in many ways l am around to see it, football and its finances will implode, and there will be a good few individuals sitting uneasily in their chairs wondering what happened to the music.

Pearl Ram Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I concur, particularly with your last sentence. @David I have SSN on most of the day while I do other things and if it isn't Neymar they are jizzing themselves over it's some boxing match they are trying to flog. The FL season starts in two days yet it barely merits a mention. They could be doing features on loads of clubs but all we get is token gestures. The sooner Mel can lead a revolution in how clubs distribute the rights to their games the better for me, cut out the middle man (Sky) and deal directly with your fan base.

Sparkle Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I don't actually think Neymar is particularly brilliant! I even think Darren Bent would score 25 a season playing next to Saurez and Messi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already happening. £7m rejected for Tom Lawrence. One full season played and 24 in a few months. Just has head shaking as this Neymar deal.

AndyinLiverpool Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 This could well be the thing that finishes it off for me. I've gone from not caring at all about other clubs (they are like other people's kids, aren't they?) to feeling a mixture of sadness and outrage. Outrage that this sort of money is even available to be wasted in such a way; sadness that something, football, that I don't ever remember not loving, I no longer find it possible to love.

EulogyForEvolution Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 If Neymar is worth £200,000,000 then I think I'm probably worth about £500,000. He's about 400 times better than me at football, so that would be a fair price for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi was just another player in what was one of the best individual performances I've ever seen. He was unbelievable. Every time he got the ball the PSG back line went in to full panic mode, as for the free kick... Edit: I also forgot the through ball for the winner to Roberto.

Bris Vegas Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I understand why he would want to leave. Half the PSG squad are Brazilian so he probably has more close friends there, he's going to earn an obscene amount of money and he will stand head and shoulders above the rest in the French League. The idea of him leaving to have a better chance of winning the Balon d'Or doesn't make much sense thoough. He won't win it playing for a French team, and Messi's new midfield role gives him the platform at Barcelona to become the focal goal scorer which he started to undertake this pre-season. Money in football has gone mad. But PSG won't have any problems recouping the transfer fee. Neymar is a global superstar, he will bring in loads of money via merchandise sales, commercials, sponsors etc. It will be strange to see him at PSG. He won't get half the recognition when he scores two or three goals past rubbish teams like Angers or Nantes. He will be saving himself for the CL but one bad game and they'll be done. Barcelona could arguably strengthen their squad with the money and wages. They could sign a world class linking midfielder and a LW with that amount. Somebody like Coutinho and Hazard/Dybala.

How many times have you really watched him play? Doesn't retract from the fact he's a c*** though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suggestions are that they are targeting Ousman Dembele and Coutinho to replace Neymar . I think their pursuit of Verratti has finished now that Raoila is now his agent. Ale Moreno from ESPN made a good point that Neymar isn't playing second fiddle to any guy, he's playing second fiddle to the greatest player in the world if not ever who takes all the pressure off him with Barcelona. If Neymar's only bothered about being 'the' guy, then he can be as he is currently doing for Brazil. He can have the best of both worlds but his silly father is meddling with his business. Barcelona fans are seeing the funny side of it though as Sandro Rossell went to all that trouble to get Neymar to Barcelona and now he's in jail.

You just have to see his attitude in training and how he deliberately provoked the new Barca signing Nelson Semedo by attempting to bully him but Semedo stuck up for himself and Neymar went off crying then. No-one in spain likes him because the way he plays in matches is disrespectful in matches to opponents. You just have to see Barca fans reaction, the majority of them are glad that he's leaving.
