It doesn't seem too insane to me a team would pay 200m over x years for a contract with Neymar, what's odd is Neymar's not getting that and clubs have somehow managed to extract such a high portion out of a player's market value.

Everyone rejecting us. Time for Barca to sign my boy Tecatito.
Dem shirt sales

Lemar's stats are just as good as Dembele's, You really think he's a step below him? They have the money for Mbappe or Hazard. I simply don't buy that Dembele is the only solution. Barcelona could have bid for Bernadeschi or Douglas Costa if they had any foresight.

Hilarious. I lost it at David got cancer lmao.
Also Everton signed one player just for Tshirt sales lol.
It's not that crazy. If Kyrie is traded from the Cavs, they will get players and draft picks in return which have a rough monetary value. Same idea applies here except no players are exchanged, instead a monetary payment is made for the value of the player. The player negotiates and signs a new contract with the club that bought/"traded" for him which reflects his market value.
Good one,won't last 18 months. Madrid or Barcelona will come a calling

Watch the older videos. Ozil is called Eyezil. His videos are awesome.
I don't think Barcelona saw this coming. They have a ton of money now but really there aren't any major stars for sale. They will have to overpay to acquire the players they need. As I said a couple of days ago, Dybala and Dembele make a lot of sense. Especially since they are letting Iniesta walk.
Lemar has similar stats but he is a step below even with the NT.

Rafa imo
Can we at least let someone kick a ball before talking about sackings? It's one of my least favourite elements of all the circus surrounding football
I'd say either Shakespeare, Frank de Boer or Antonio Conte.

Yup Conte will just quit. Already rumors are he will quit after transfer window if he doesn't get the players he wants.
Also Ox is demanding 120k per week and Arsenal aren't willing to pay him that much lol.

It's a perfect storm at the Toon. Rafa is dissatisfied by the lack of transfers, they have tough early fixtures and Mike Ashley's still the boy in charge. It'd be amusing if a loss to Hughton's Brighton tipped Ashley over the edge.
If Walcott gets £110k for doing fuck all then Ox should be on at least as much. At least Ox puts the effort in.

Why does he wear the mask!?
He isn't worth that

We were shit and deserved to go down. I won't attempt to make excuses for Boro's inadequacies last season. Try harder my friend.
He was your best player for nigh on the second half of last season. I think he's earned it. He's worth that if Ozil and Walcott are on big wages when they're a pair of bitches.

You'll be fine, once you get a striker. He is a pretty good manager.
I've got a tenner on Sunderland to get relegated this season.

I actually don't mind any of the NE teams. It's good for the area if they're all doing well.
Ozil is worth it for maybe 3 or 4 months in a 9 month season. You know he isn't consistent and goes missing for long periods. When the chips are down, Ozil won't help you.
what odds?
That'd be grand
I can see that point of view, I generally prefer for the best 20 teams in the country to be in the prem, Sunderland have been far from that and riding some sort of luck to stay up as long as they have
MrS

Yeah their luck had to run out eventually and they've been hanging on for years. Shame, really.

I disagree. He is emblematic of last year's Arsenal team. Weak, spineless, goes missing during Winter, doesn't raise their game during the big matches, always lets the fans down. Mourinho was right about him.

For those who don't know him, this is Mehmet Scholl, former football player and was till now on the payroll of the german public broadcaster ARD as an expert. Always had a big mouth, but when the topic Doping in football came up he deflected, played it down and became tight lipped. They finally kicked him. Good riddance.
Mehmet Scholl is such a weirdo. Super talented. But I think the whole Bravo Boy hype was too much for him since he was always more of a introverted person, despite having the looks and the skills of a superstar. I still love him though. They documentary about him is great.
Here is a Mehmet Scholl Highlights video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsRVTNpVWfY

how in the fuck do ffp work with Mbappe joining PSG as well? I am consistently amazed at how corrupt this shitty organization that runs this sport is
^ Scholl was always quite the man when he played. Generic broadcaster though :\ Also Dortmund handing another L to Barcelona lol
Just joined the Fantasy Premier League group as oldyella. I would also like to be added to the google docs, but I primarily use my phone to post. Can someone add me please?

I would also like to echo the sentiments that it's good to see this thread so active again. I was primarily a lurker in the threads before the last culling; I'm hoping to be more active this year. I'll probably do a post with my predictions for league positions on Friday.

Yeah, if he keeps getting better in defense he'll lock the starting DM role in Arsenal alongside Xhaka. He played well as a center back in pre-season as well. Xhaka is my favorite deep-lying playmaker these days, a role that's definitely rare in the premier league, and I hope Elneny can support him well.

Mbappé asked Real Madrid a 12M annual salary just like PSG's offer. Madrid's response was 'good luck in Paris.' [Onda Cero] https://t.co/t40Yvnwqia
Not sure how true this is, but....crazy money.

Seriously... it's gone very mad with football. Six years ago i thought my club were nuts for paying £50m pounds for Torres, and now, it's gone through the roof. Madrid raised the bar with Bale and James, then United went the same route with Lukaku and Pogba. Never did I imagine PSG would top that by a distance a few MONTHS later.
