That's another exaggeration. It's ridiculous to even mention Messi. Mbappe was terrorising CL heavy weights while at Monaco, at 17. And those were better teams than current versions. Won a WC at 18.

Stop making sense bro, you'll upset the mob in here. :lol:

Yamal is not better than Mbappe yet. Saudi would pay insane amounts anyway, that's not the standard for European clubs.

It's basically the same Messi got, but instead of offering him renewals every season, they structured the contract from the start. I don't really care about the money if he performs. Messi was about 60M gross a season if you spread what he got over 17 years. And that's being generous. Ask...

They could also see it as Dembele's redemption arc.

He's a donkey though. Stats don't paint the whole picture.

Ballon D'or odds are correct. Dembele should be favourite regardless of the CL final. He has better stats and PSG had a harder run to reach the CL final. I guess just reaching the final is what gives him the edge right now. Winning it would lock the Ballon for him.

They're located in a rich area of Europe. Same as with Juve. Same as with Bayern. Money and people that have it always been around those clubs. Paris is the anomaly but that's mainly because people weren't that passionate about football in that area, like they are in Marseille.

Not the club per se, was talking about the fans. We hit a rough patch financially but I have no doubts we'll spend big again once finances are sorted. Many more factors than Messi. Great city to live in for a millionaire footballer - actually the best in Europe. Huge club, crazy money, the full...

Ah so it is a new money vs old money kind of thing. Cool

Well, we did that before it was cool, with Neymar. And who knows what are other shady Brazilian transfers a la Douglas. Not saying oil clubs are ok, but at the end of the day it is fair game when football is so corrupt and focused only on making money.

It's not about that. It's about suddenly playing the victim when we were a notoriously big spender for the past 30 years.

The fuck are you guys talking about?! I swear KingLeo has gone down the gutter lately with his takes. Barca, who spent big for decades is suddenly a pauper that can't battle it out with oil clubs :lol: We are still in top 5 on wage bills and this is after we trimmed lots of fat and have half...

If we start paying him like the best in the world now, we'll have to get used to the fact he'll leave us by 25. Problem here is that there is no one to compare him with. Only Mbappe in a good system can challenge him for top spot. Messi, while actually being the best in the world, wasn't...

That Chevalier guy doesn't pass the Youtube reels eye test. The fuck are you lads jumping on any flavor of the month/season guy? Has football fallen this bad that there are no GK wonderkids around?

Just get back the money we spent on him and all is good. 100M for this donkey? :lol:

Yup. If talent is unreal money means nothing further down the line. But I'm sure there will be idiots claiming he bankrupt the club, once he leaves us.

The Messi "debacle" was planned. You really think they had to go over the books for three months before finally coming to the conclusion it is not feasible?

Yamal. We wouldn't have won anything without his spark. Also the only player who had his form constantly grow throughout the season.

Arjen Robben + Quaresma combo on steroids.
