    That wouldn't be hard on fairness. A fecking scarecrow would have stopped more than Bravo last season.

    Lol very true.


    Always somewhat amusing how generally crap Chileans manage to be in the PL when you see how good they are as a National Team.

    I can think of 3 players off the top of my head.

    Vargas,Bravo and Sanchez. Who am I forgetting?

    He stopped by at training to say goodbye to teammates who had grown sick of his attitude. Good riddance.

    Going from a club that plays football to a "club" that plays at football.

    FFP will do sweet fcuk all of course.

    Who is Neymar's agent? It's going to be some pay day for whoever it is.

    Has Neymar actually come out and whinged about how he wants to leave or that he's being treated like a slave, etc.?

    IIRC, he's said absolutely nothing on the matter. He's let the business be done behind closed doors. If that is the case (and I'm open to correction), I can't see any problem with his behavior, tbh.

    If he wants to go, fair enough, people will be pissed, but he's turned up for training, he's played in pre-season, he hasn't been running his mouth off in the media. He's done his job at Barca so far in pre-season.

    Yeah that's why El Presidente Pique was begging him to stay, cause his attitude sticks up the place

    El Presidente AIG takes precedence of El Presidente Pique. If AIG dislikes the attitude they are finished regardless of Pique confirming he stays.

    Just reading on twitter that PSG are meeting up with La Liga officials, as La Liga are refusing to accept the activation of the release clause. They don't believe that it meets with FFP. This could drag on (as usual).

    I dont think thats up to those officials to worry about.

    FFP is a dead duck anyway, PSG will just invent a new "sponsor" from the Qatar Sports Investment and their ties and give themselves a cash injection of 300m.

    Theyve cooked the books before with sponsors so I wouldnt be shocked to see it again, its up to UEFA to act on it but they wont.

    FFP was a big buzzword a few years ago but its taking a backseat recently

    I wonder what will happen if this Neymar deal does happen. It will surely trigger a wave of overinflated moves that will go on until deadline. They should really close the window before the seasons get started.

    Ah yeah I guessed so. There is nothing that the La Liga officials can do. It's nothing to do with them really.

    Its going to be a poison chalice for Barca too, everyone will just start making up even more mental prices if they come in for a player.

    No matter who they buy anyway, they wont directly replace Neymars quality.

    But wait Pique the next Barca President said he was staying?

    I'm confused why would he lie like that.

    La Liga officials are just a cry babies. It has nothing to do with them, whether the club is in compliance with FFP or not. It's for UEFA to worry.

    La Liga should worry more about why players and clubs in seem to want and do circumvent Spanish tax laws.

    I'm just imagining if it didn't go through; Neymar turning up to training like George Costanza after he quit pretending nothing happened.

    The money is useless to Barca IMO, players they want will still be out of reach. Veratti, Coutinho, no chance.

    This is glorious seen one of the Spanish big 2 having one of there best players taken from them. Throwing their weight around for far too long, bit of humbling will do them good.
