Neymar's dad is on for something like 10% of the total transfer fee for helping to convince his son to make the move. Apparently this was a large part of his motivation for doing it: this way he can make his dad incredibly wealthy without actually having to transfer money himself, meaning they both avoid the associated large tax liabilities.

 

Football, eh? The beautiful game. The ballet of the working classes. Doncha just lurve it.

Football is fucked

 

It's been fucked for ages mate tbh, this is now just the tip of the iceberg. Just disgusting the money been spent by all the big clubs. In fact even look at Wolves spending was it something like £20,000,000 on a player recently? Unbelievable :o

Barca are accepting the offer but going to report PSG to UEFA in Neymar moves for a breach of financial fair play. Madness indeed

Not so much a case of Barca accepting it, that it meets his release clause, isn't it?

 

Poor from Barca though. Should have given him a higher release clause if they didn't want to lose him.

Had read an article suggesting that the owners of PSG (who are also involved in the Qatari world cup organisation) would probably pay Neymar the £200m directly and have him act as an 'ambassador' or whatever shite for their world cup. Neymar then pays his release clause himself with that money, and PSG the club don't actually pay a penny towards the transfer fee.

 

If true, nae wonder Barca aren't happy.

Think it's the case the older you get the hype machine of Sky Soirts and excitement over big transfers stop.

Few years ago sky sports news would be in from day to night now don't even watch it if it's on in the pub

I don't hear that much about French footie apart fae PSG's spending, probably my ignorance but didn't think it was that good a league

 

It really isn't, although Monaco's excellent youth system has given it a bit of a shot in the arm in recent seasons.

 

Football isn't even all that big in sizeable chunks of France - the south, and in particular the south-west, is rock-solid rugby territory.

1) Why are people outraged?

2) who gives a fuck.

 

 

3) And why are folk shocked/surprised?

 

4) Real have been spending 200m a year long before the the big bad English clubs started to.

 

1) Because some people like football.

2) People who like football

3) They're not.

4) Ok thanks for that insightful stat.

 

Those who don't give a fuck, don't like football. They like a bullshit version of something that used to be football but is now business.
