Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

I wouldn't put it past La Liga to create some sort of franchise tag to help Barca circumnavigate the rules.

 

[Gilver]

Wouldn't be surprised to him him stay tbh. If you actually read what they've said they're trying to scare La Liga with the prospect of a league without Messi in it.

 

[SCORCH]

If PSG sign Messi then should they cash in on Mbappe who only has one year left?

Chelsea could pay whatever they're gonna waste on Lukaku.

 

[Liu Kang]

The opening part of the statement reads:

"Despite club and player reaching an agreement and their clear intention to sign a new contract today, this cannot happen because of financial and structural obstacles"

They're just blackmailing La Liga into relaxing the rules for them. I anticipate a U-turn on this announcement in the next few days

It's definitely about that CVC loan yes. But all clubs need to accept it for it to pass and Real already said fukk that and I agree. Why should clubs who tried to stay within LaLiga rules make it easy for Barca who never bothered fixing their wage structure

 

[Liu Kang]

Last president fukked over the club by signing the last three big players on Jesus Christ wages.

It's crazy that Neymar's sale could actually be the downfall of Barça. Like they got 200M and they messed that up

cash in on 23 year old Mbappe for a 34 year old Messi.
that’s the kind of thinking that got Barca where they are now. I understand he doesn’t want to renew with psg, but, come on

Mbrapppe is only going to Real.

David Alaba will earn over £100m at Real Madrid according to contract leak - Football Espana

Last week it leaked that Alaba got a 15m signing bonus and 5m was given to his family. I can only imagine the kind of money he will get from PSG or City

Mbappe has told them he isn't re-signing. They sell him now or lose him for nothing next year.

Mbrapppe is only going to Real.

Its a shame he'd rather join a dying league. The Barclays is where dreams are made.

City getting Kane and Grealish would be disgusting.

What would be the point of the upcoming season?

it doesn't always work out like that

 

[Givethanks]

Barca about to pull a Goat out a Rabbit out a hat for a Messi loan

 

[SCORCH]

 

[Premeditated]

just heard the news. I thought Barca and him were eventually going to resolve it.

I wasn't paying attention to the football world after Euro, but damn, this is about to be like nba offseason to anticipate where he's going.

 

[Montez]

I need this. PSG, finish the job.
