This goes to show you NEVER FUCKING DEAL WITH EXPENSIVE BRAZILIAN STARS. Period.
We got f***ed in the a** by Neymar and then by the incompetence of the sulking 12-year old looking man with the mentality and spirit of a 11-year old boy. Money down the drain. And now Neymar wants to return...
Now PSG want Dembouz as part of any deal for Neymar.
Fuck off, Qataris. Go play on your Ataris. I sincerely hope blows up Real Madrids bank and almost serves as a financial time bomb, if this is true. Coutinho, Rakitic and even Vidal and Umtiti are dispensable. Dembélé is not.
If that is the case, then we need to pass on Neymar. He is by any means a luxury signing and although I could see him rejuvenate his career at the Camp Nou, the fiscal responsibility is a bigger priority. Let Madrid take him on and officially lock down their wage structure for the next five...
Hard to think of anyone better ATM. Rodri? No. Pogba, Fernandinho, Ndombélé? No. Modric? Hell no.
He is possibly the best midfielder in the world already. Amazing signing.
EDIT: In-form KdB is probably just an inch better, but at their current form I reckon Frenkie edges even Kevin.
Pep would obviously possess the ability to potentially improve on Coutinhos overall play, but what Sterling had working for him is speed, agility and physicality despite his rather average/below average height. Coutinho has neither speed nor the physical presence of a true winger.
This guy, Neto, FDJ, Wague, Todibo, Puig, Perez and Firpo are all a breath of fresh air on a Swiss mountaintop.
The cancerous attitude of Suarez, Alba, Rakitic and Busquets is even more obvious now TBH.
Dybala has been a 'potential world class player' for three seasons now. Something must be off, since he keeps getting benched on a regular basis by both club and country.
The kid has a 350 mil. € buyout clause.
With the way the market is (even clubs the likes of Atl. Madrid and Bayern throwing around 100+ mil € fees every other window) I doubt Neymar will remain the most expensive transfer for more than a year or two. Madrid would go for Mbappé without blinking...
This looks like an awful deal but could potentially be a very wise decision by the board.
Cucu was bought back for 4 million euros after we sold him off to Eibar for 2 mil. euros; that's a 2 mil. euro investment for a potential deal worth 4 mil euros + a big percentage of a future deal, should...
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
