Coutinho and Dembele to replace Neymar is pretty decent. Mbappe,Neymar, Sanchez, Cavani, Di Maria, Veratti, Matuidi, Fabinho... Oblak potentially would be able to vault PSG to world famous status if they were not already by getting a super star like Neymar. The Sheikh is flexing his muscle. The new Messi says hi...

Still think Coutinho and Dembele and past history suggest Barcelona is the bigger club than Juventus. I can see Dybala leaving soon to play alongside Messi.

I'm saying is you should be used to nothing more than being a feeder/development club and the big clubs taking your young talent by now.. I don't know how it is exciting to follow a club that loses its players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish⑦Canuck Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 What's the point in FFP when PSG will just buy them anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCanuck001 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) FFP was never going to solve anything to begin with. PSG can just make some shady deal with a Qatari "company" to negate any losses that might show up on their books.

Beary Sweet Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 @Lateralus91 I hope Dembele doesn't ditch Dortmund for Barca. After seeing them reject €100 million, I think it's a smart and wise decision to reject the offer. He's so young and showed his potential to be a world class talent last season. Scored numerous clutch goals for the club throughout the year and he's going to just as good if not better this season. Lots to like about the wunderkid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the ace is Mourinho... and He will make Utd challenge either this year or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Spector Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 PSG agree Mbappe deal as dream £370m partnership nears Date published: Friday 11th August 2017 11:53 Paris Saint-Germain are on the verge of making Kylian Mbappe the second most expensive player of all time, as they edge closer to a £168million deal – taking their overall spending this month to near £370million. Spanish journal Marca and their French counterparts L’Equipe are reporting that the deal is done, with both clubs exchanging documentation to finalise the signing, before an announcement can be made. It is understood that Mbappe will earn £200,000-a-week, which will give the Frenchman an annual salary close to £11million. For much of the summer the 18-year-old has been linked heavily with a move to Real Madrid, but Marca believe Mbappe’s father had a big say in his son choosing to remain in his home nation. Having spent £198million on Brazil star Neymar only last week, the touted fee for Mbappe would mean that PSG would have the most expensive forward partnership ever, and one that is sure to terrify many defences. The question around financial fair play and the French club is sure to be put back into the spotlight, however, having only made £15million in player sales so far. http://www.teamtalk.com/news/psg-close-on-striker-as-dream-370m-partnership-nears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralus91 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I've always liked Barca, but there seems to be a pattern with players they want to have and their clubs if they don't want to sell. Veratti, Coutinho and Dembélé all on strike and/or going to the press is no coincidence. Funny after the comments from Barca's boss after the Neymar transfer. I hope they get none of the desired players. I would even consider selling Dembélé to Real for 20m € less at this point, just to p*ss Barca off.

All I ever feel (for any team I support.) is this is going to be the year. Every year. Some how this team is going to pull off this season and win. Even if logically I have no idea how, sports is magic and something will happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
