Fortunately for Preston pretty sure they couldn't raise that money even if Ridsdale wanted to.

If there's one chairman that would do it.........

Can someone tell me WHY Monaco are selling all of their players? Don't they want to compete in the CL next year, or is it simply that the other teams are more attractive to the players themselves?

Because his father is a massive mercenary, way bigger than his son, and Neymar does mostly what his father wants.

He has a lot of brazilians to party with at PSG.

The league sucks, so they can rest more throughout the season for the World Cup.

Way more money at PSG.

Barca's staff low key wants to sell him. Yeah, he's great, he has the potential to be the best player in the world in a few years. But 222m is a lot, they need it, they can't even sign Paulinho atm and Neymar will do this over and over again, he'll want more money every 6 months, just like Messi.

Neymar is not as professional and constant as he should be for a club like Barcelona.

If they haven't lost control with Neymar, they will pretty soon.

Pique knows this is very real, that's why he was putting pressure on Neymar with that picture.

If PSG doesn't buy him this year, they'll spew the money for Sanchez and others. Who knows what happens next year, maybe they buy Cristiano? That's a possibility. Bayern won't buy Neymar. I doubt the english clubs will pay so much for him and his father, they're not that stupid.

Neymar knows Barca's current staff are dumb dumbs, they can't sign Verratti, Dembele, Coutinho etc.

Nothing is clear atm, anything can happen with him imo. I hope he stays tbh.

tbh, this group of players could turn out to be duds/injury prone, but they're making off with 300m+ for them.

Seems their valuations are as high as they're going to be coming off the season they had

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but they're pretty world class at scouting talent too right. Rinse and repeat as someone aid

o'rly











and ofcourse




they will pay.

meh ppl thought that about arsenal when they signed viera pires henry kolo freddie overmars and anelka for about 35m total

then tried to repeat over the following decade with jeffers denilson bendtner squllachi traore eboue rambo fabianski etc and it didn't turn out so super. scouting is hard

loads of examples of this, arsenal being the most obvious imo

Also, Southampton in 2/3 years.

Let's say some PL club wants him next year, they'll pay the 250m release clause, 30m+ salary, 50m+ signing bonus for him and his father, other bonuses + all the luxurious stuff he demands, private jets for him and his friends etc.? Are the PL clubs this stupid?

When money doesn't matter to you one bit (Chelsea, City) why would it matter?

yes. yes they are. Neymar shirts will sell. Plus, he instantly becomes best player in the league, and title equity increases a lot.

cool, seems like I've given them too much credit then

How much is it you're paying for Mbappe, again?

Yupp. this is pretty spot on.

Doubt Monaco has the scouting game solved and that these results are repeatable. Will be interesting to see how much will they reinvest and I doubt its too much.

Even nailing it this hard (seemingly) just once is quite the feat tho.

Nah, they'll bank the money and keep churning out the kids for nothing.

You missed the previous discussion where we decided Monaco have a secret potion to make the kids fantastically brilliant.

So it's not about the money, ok.

different cases. first of all, Mbappe is not a mercenary and loves the shirt, you have photo evidence in one of my previous posts. and he's definitely a better professional than Neymar, therefore, will be better than him and is worth every penny.

this would be beyond glorious.

marty and RITS have too similar avatars to tell them apart at first glance to a n00b

that's my analysis

this barca management is so ****ing dumb. if they intended to go for him then why werent they telling coutinho in january not sign a new 5 year deal?

Are you suggesting impropriety on their behalf?

im saying they're idiots for not doing it. seemed pretty clear

bale (or maybe benzema) is sale
