Summer transfer thread 17/18 season (NEYMAR TALK IN OTHER THREAD)

Griezmann off to Barca for £170m.


Ok I now see that link on twitter from the rag.

Aguero and alexis sanchez swap deal being mentioned.

Real should count themselves lucky if they get back what they paid for Bale.

It all seems a bit nonsensical, if he wins the CL with Barca - Messi rightfully gets Balon Dor as hes the better player.

If he wins CL with PSG - Neymar gets Balon Dor even though Messi is still a better player..

We all know that Messi is better.

But at the end of the day, in that scenario, he wins it. It's just another small reason why it's not a terrible idea to go.

I think the worry with what the likes of City etc are doing is that they other clubs will try to keep up and ruin themeselves. I kind of get the idea that they are trying to protect clubs from themselves, but then when you see what City's ownerd have done for the local area, the women's team, youth teams etc, it is very hard to make an argument that this is somehow inherently wrong.

City are a bad example i think as the owners there seem to be decent. For every one of city type owners you get many more that are the opposite.

Look at the other clubs who got rich foreign investors. The team i support, blackburn, has been decimated by it. Portsmouth struggled. Look at the owner of Ado Den Haag. Nothing but issues since he bought them.

Leeds has huge issues trying to compete and spending beyond their means.

I agree it will be less than Neymar, but I would think it'll be significantly more than what they paid given the inflation of PL fees, United's wealth and Real's likely reluctance to sell.

If Keita's, VVD and Morata are being discussed in the €70m bracket, surely Bale will be €120m+ sort of territory

If real are reluctant to sell then Bale won't move. He said many times and also his agent that player don't want to leave Madrid.

I think Arsene is also right about how it will go in the future as well players running down their contracts and going on frees because clubs won't pay the crazy transfers.

I think he is getting his excuses ready when Sanchez and Ozil leave on free transfer.

He is of course but he isn't wrong about players running down their contracts and taking the signing on fee instead of clubs getting it.

Don't think it will happen unless club is mismanaged.

Was catching up on the United superthread and saw this very apt post about Neymar



Then I pop in here and see this



TheDoc definitely hit the nail on the head here!

Anyone that's been to Barcelona, or even has internet access, knows that Neymar has split Barcelona fan opinion from day one. He's an incredible talent but the way he's handled this entire saga will rightly see him branded a Judas to Barcelona.

Sky creaming themselves as Neymar is on his way to London not Paris. They will investigate they said

Kept his head down, went to the club asked to leave and has gone about his business without blabbing to the media.

How exactly has he handed it badly?

How the hell is he is a Judas? He didn't come through the youth ranks, he was a superstar before he signed for Barcelona. He won plenty of titles and always gave 100% on the pitch.

He is just a modern footballer who wants to go on and do something else. He didn't cause any headaches by the looks of things either. He trained and played all through this process.

Also this deal is very straight forward where the entire money goes to the club rather than all the illegal payments made by Barca when they signed him and ****ed Santos.
