Get French Football ‏@GFN_France now4 seconds ago
Anthony Martial becomes the most expensive French footballer of all time & the 5th most expensive player of all time with this deal!

That is insane. Obviously inflation adjusted price for Zidane would be higher, but as a headline stat, it really sums up the craziness of the market.

Panthro · 31-08-2015 06:12PM

Have Chelsea bought Pogba and Aguero yet?!

31-08-2015 06:19PM

That Martial fee?!!

Wtf has happened at Utd

Agent Coulson · 31-08-2015 06:21PM

That £750m Adidas money being well spent.

Why?

Forcing teams to spend within their means should be encouraged, imo.

Manchester City have bottomless means though. They should be able to spend what they like.

FPP is just an attempt to keep clubs like City in their place.

No but Liverpool will sign Arda Turan, Arsenal will sign Mexes & Aldo Duscher is nailed on to join United from Deportivo

Brown Ideye gone to Olympiakos.

Glenn Murray off to Bournemouth for £5million.

DenMan · 31-08-2015 06:48PM

Wenger on a flight to Paris. I hope it's for Cavani.

Surely means Palace are bringing in a striker?

Would have thought so,

Rumours they needed to offload a couple of players to make a move for Charlie Austin, Bannan gone and Murray could mean it has legs.

Some money for a soon to be 32 year old striker.

Palace have done some very shrewd business over the last couple of years in fairness, lending United Zaha for £4m for a year being the best bit :pac:

Overpaid for Wickham but other than that bought well; McCarthy, Puncheon, Cabaye are all solid Premier League players.

FFP didn't go far enough.

A pan european salary cap will have to be introduced (by UEFA) soon enough or you'll get continually tedious title races all across europe for the forseeable future and a very boring champions league (it's been quite boring for the last few years in my opinion).

The amount of money being spent is taking away the hope of a lot of teams and I'd imagine it can't be as much fun being fans of a lot of teams anymore.All the leagues in Europe were a lot more competitive up until the new millenium but since then all the major leagues are dominated by 2 or 3 elite clubs with no chance for others to break in and basically the second tier of clubs have accepted they cannot really compete and decided to sell as soon as they can to keep their finances ok.Thats not really what sport should be about.

The sense of achievement has gone from the game as well. Barca,Real,Bayern,Man Utd,PSG,Chelsea and Man City winning a trophy is not much of an achievement as they all have virtually limitless resources and can but as many players as they want to help them succeed and just blow the other teams away.

Salary caps are against the law in the EU

They have them in the English Rugby premiership so if they can do it it should be applicable in Soccer.

It might be that companies can't cap salaries of individual people. My bad.

titan18 · 31-08-2015 08:42PM

Posted this in United thread, but is wrecking my head. De Gea deal was apparently the second highest fee ever for a player in the last year of his contract. Any idea who's the first?

€80M for Martial according to Monaco. Yowza.

All the French sources I've seen are going with €80 million and they are far more reliable in this in this instance than the English sources saying it is £35 million.

If its 80 million heads need to roll here, notably Woodwards. None of this 'oh well some of it is add ons'. This would be the epitome of ridiculous.

Nobody is paying 80 million up front for a 19 year old. Nobody. Not even if his name was Messi ronaldo pele maradonna

Agent Coulson · 31-08-2015 09:35PM

£36m would be €50m and then the add-ons of €30m to give a total of €80m.

Mental money.
