Rip barca

[CaliSuperSport]

will Neymar have some obscene buyout clause at PSG ?


I can see Neymar in 3-4 years wanting to leave France and won't be able to.

French league is joke, he will be diving meme every week.



but good for Barca that is shiitload of money.

200m+ euros was supposed to be obscene, but I don't think the details are set yet for public release.

FFP at it's finest.

This article might help shed some light on the whole transfer

not bad for a CM

[Rai9]

Mbappe has handed in a transfer apparently.

It can't be the GOAT transfer window if Madrid doesn't make a retarded signing tbh. Dumb move from Mbappe as Monaco is perfect for him atm.

[celticbhoy88]

Gordon, Lustig, Simunovic, Sviatchenko, Tierney, Brown, Armstrong, McGregor, Hayes, Sinclair, Forrest

Subs: De Vries, Bitton, Griffiths, Gamboa, Rogic, Ntcham, Kouassi


Pre-match nerves starting in 3..2..1...

Well that's why Rodgers is manager and I am not! Forrest with a great goal after missing for the first 60 minutes, and then 1 on 1 with the goalie he dribbles it into him. I still don't rate him, even though this is the second time he's bailed us out in CL qualifying (remember his goal against Karagandy?).

Draw on Friday. Don't want Be'er Sheva, even though we won 5-4 agg last year. Would take Qarabag or Astana.

[Midgetkiller]

tottenham are odds on for the title this season, absolutely stacked all round except for rb which will come at the right price if needed at all, i mean sorry to disappoint everyone but this team doesn't do 90m for povos who can't control a ball or score against the big boys

kane
son---alli---eriksen
dembele---wanyama
vertonghen---alderweild--- dier

this is a premiership winning side not to mention they have a nice core of english players because idk it's an english team

Sorry but... That's not getting even close to a title. That's the best 11 Spurs can field and that's below the starting 11 of United, Chelsea, City and they are +- on par with Arsenal and Liverpool who both have 2 top or world class players surrounded with a few (English) kunts who are secretly average as fuk. Tottenham has the great advantage that their defence is still elite and their midfield are great at controlling the match, Kane can net a good amount of goals but... They don't have much on the bench atm.

European football until Christmas secured!

Shat it when Sviat got injured, but Bitton done well. Jozo done great. Tierney good first half, Sinclair great second half with tracking back. Disappointed with Armstrong. Hayes about as useful as Forrest before he came off. Griffiths good when he came on. Played smart and you saw an immediate difference with his sub.

Agree on Forrest, anonymous for 60 mins, didn't make any runs behind and stayed static up there. Great goal though, awesome finish. His one vs Karagandy too as you mention has got him a few important goals for us. Then that 1-on-1.. I did say he doesn't have the nuts between his legs for high pressure games like this, that 1-on-1 showed it. Imagine we got put out tonight after that miss.

Thought McGregor wasn't great until we scored the goal. I barely remember him on the pitch. Then after we scored, some of his passing/touches were great. Actually, some of our football after the goal was brilliant wasn't it? Calm at the back, passing between them, triangles, perfect. That might be the first time in such a high pressure situation I've seen us move the ball like that. The Rodgers effect was alive and well there.

Qarabag/Astana/Rijeka/Hapoel/Slavia Prague.

I agree, wouldn't want Hapoel. First choice would be Slavia Prague I think. Qarabag next.

2 more weeks of match fitness until first playoff game. Any further signings? Rodgers said nothing close in his post match, but hurry up and bring paddy home. No more dicking about, there's £30m at stake.

Let's hope for home match second leg. Then 'that' noise during CL anthem pre-match will set us up for a win over both legs.

Really pleased.

Also, you see we've got a pretty decent chance to be in pot 3 for CL? We need only one of Olympiakos, Liverpool, Sevilla or Napoli to get knocked out. Could be looking at European football well into the second half of next season, though I would have fancied us to finish 3rd place if we make the CL group stages in any case.

Now if we can sign Aurier and maybe get Sandro as LB

The money Barcelona get for Neymar can probably be used to force Liverpool to sell Coutinho. In turn, Liverpool can get a lot more quality players for all that money. Trinkle down economics works in the football world.

Except Coutinho really isn't worth more than 20m, but Liverpool are going to want atleast 150m just because the market is ridiculous and Barca just pocketed 200m. They should try to buy Hazard tbh he can't be worth more than 100m right now and is the kinda slimy kunt player to leave a Chelsea to go on to a bigger club.

Anyways, funny that Barca is trying to go against PSG and their shady oil money shenanigans after the whole Neymar saga, when fuking Barca did a bunch of shady shiet to get Neymar from Santos lmao. Barca ain't just a shady, scum club, they're also fuking hypocrites.

Barcas problem isn't the transfer kitty, but rather the wage issue I imagine. La Liga has a limit wage outlay to 70% of budget, and Barca is pretty damn close to that. Some of their fringe players are earning more than RM's first teamers. Add in Messi's annual contract renewal thing u got a pretty big elephant to deal with every year. I last read Messi always get a contract renewal every year with wage increases except for 2 or 3 seasons in his entire Barca career...

[5HE0]

season starts in 9 days. only have 2 fit CMs and 2 wingbacks. 2015 all over again, you heard it here first.

Wait what?! Even in todays market coutinho is a £50-70M player, £150M absolutely no chance

[goodyou1]

You guys know a quality streaming website for soccer, haven't found a decent one. And would like to see my favorite team (Celtic) play a lot more this year. Also, from the US so I don't have access to like sky sports and stuff.

[Joska]

I think Barca offered 50-70 mil and Liverpool wants to start the negotiations at 120 mil.

They can probably get Dybala close to 120...

La Liga rejecting PSG's oil money lmao. Aren't release clauses mandated by La Liga so a player can gtfo if he as the money or another club wants him? Talk about a hypocrite league too.

[HoLeeFuk]

$240m plus wages of $500k a week post TAX!

Interested to know what the American folk on here make of this, theres certainly money in US sports, but from what I've seen organisations trade and swap players and pay the money to the player. Seeing a quarter of a bilion put down on a transfer fee alone, god damn.

Its okay.

Cause those rich phucks at Qatar wrote Neymar $222 million check which he personally dropped off at Barca today lol.

This way the La Liga buyout clause doesn't apply.

La Liga just got cucked.

Neymar will be playing this Saturday for PSG.




Now question is who will Barca go after.


They have shiitload of money to spend.





............................



Interesting stat.

Except Barca were also complaining about PSG just throwing money out and being backed by a entire state/country when they literally pulled a bunch of shady shiet to sign Neymar and screw Santos from a bigger transfer fee. I mean do you not see how hypocritical and shady your club is? You can't be blind the Juve bros lol c'mon.

And the thing about that stat is only Man Utd's money is earned not given. Plus, United are actually going to win the CL.

[DannyLB]

United LOL.

[Zuggie]

United LOL.

Always loved people commenting how much money is being spent by certain teams, you do realize that financial prowess is a positive thing right? Right?

Except in sports it also needs to translate into titles.

[anibani]

neymar signed a 5-year deal. this tops the previous transfer record by like 100m...

[Rai9]

Except in sports it also needs to translate into titles.

Iirc United won 2 trophies last season (3 if you count Community Shield) and Chelsea and had 1?

2>1

Try again boyo
Also, Man Utd has more EPL titles than Chelsea if you want to go down that road too









And CL's



























And some fuking history in the club not just dirty Russian oil money

[DannyLB]

Rai9 does anyone ever bite anymore?

[WeekndOrNah]

Damnit I really wish PSG would have let Barca buy Verratti

fuk I hope Barca puts the money to good use though

Hazard would be a good choice since he is fast and technical and plays on the left wing. He is also good at supporting plays. Supposedly one of the reasons why Neymar left was because with the arrival of Suarez, he was turned more into an assisting player than a goal scoring one due to the front three set up.

[LukeS1]

Barca are really a sinking ship at this point

-Never been the same without the Xavi/Iniesta/Busquets midfield
-Their stars (Messi/Suarez/Iniesta) are all the wrong side of 30 and on the downward trend
-Cant compete financially with RM, PSG, United
