I agree with Laplacian. Plenty is no plague. Having Mbapp? can't hurt Bar?a on the pitch. It can hurt Ansu Fati maybe but, if it doesn't hurt Bar?a, who cares ? Let the better one prove his worth. That being said, given the financial situation of Bar?a, i don't know if Mbapp? transfer + wage...

Coutinho is "trash". Not wanted at Bar?a. Not wanted at Bayern Munich. Ever since he left Liverpool, he has done nothing bar those 2 goals scored against Bar?a. However, he would be very tempted to go to PSG due to his falling career. In the other hand, i can't see Griezmann at PSG after all...

It would kind of suck for PSG. They have to pay Monaco 35 millions if Mbapp? is sold or renew. It would then just be a 65 M + Varane deal. Not a lot to reinvest in an attacking position. Anyway, as expected, Mbapp? will run down his contract to get in the best position to negociate his deal...

FFP is already doing all that by disallowing some clubs from spending and even punishing them when they do. They become nothing other than feeder clubs while the ones which had amassed enough financial clout by overspending decades ago are free to spend. This is what is unfair in my opinion. The...

What i want is the old football where you had big transfer after big transfer like in Italy with even the likes of Parma and Fiorentina having great players. I loved Batistuta and Fiorentina. Now, it is impossible. FFP kills competition. In the time FFP has been implemented, there has been less...

No you don't draw the line by who is spending the money, billionaire owner with infinite amount of money or by a club having to take a loan to finance it. You are talking about distorting the market and ruining football. What matters is the amount of money that was paid at the time. What Real...

I'm only answering Jamdav with his claim that billionaire City or PSG are ruining football while it has always been like that. If someone started ruining football it was certainly not PSG. The graphics are just there to prove that point. So either you dislike football for having been ruined...

I never said it was to stop Chelsea because Chelsea had already been successful. Furthermore, Chelsea was one of the advocate of FFP because they knew it would be like pulling the ladder after them. It was implemented to stop another Chelsea to come into reality. Also, you don't need to repeat...

This is the problem. You draw some wishy washy line by :Zidane was not funded by a billionaire owner. Why would i care by who it was funded (convenient loan banks with incredibly low or convenient dealing with state) ? I know foot ball has almost always been a matter of spending big and bigger...

We should know about the changes soon if italian media is to be believed. According to them, there will still be a financial control but different from the current one. Spending will be allowed but only the necessary amount and excessin spending will be sanctioned. However, those sanctions...

It was the same stuff before. Zidane to Real Madrid was the equivalent to Neymar to PSG if you go by their relative cost compared to club budget. In fact, it was much more before where Real Madrid could buy a team full of Ballon d'Or. It could not be done now. What about the great Milan ? Even...

I know it won't be entirely removed. They are already saying stuff you "must spend but without wasting". I already know there will be some catch and if the rules are changing so fast, it must benefit mostly the ones who have most power over UEFA which is ECA. In any case, i don't think it will...

Before i'm a PSG fan, i'm a fan of football. I guess you are too. Tell me how exactly was football before ? It has always been that way. Real Madrid is what it is by spending unlimited money (from Raymond Kopa to their Galacticos era) and same with most of the big clubs. Rich from you for...

They saw what happened with Chelsea and didn't want a new rich taking over their glory and money. It is evidenced by all the changes they have pushed into Champions League: -first, get more spots to the big leagues to secure the money, -second, introduce a coefficient prize money which secure...

If they come, they come. Why would i care about them ? I'm just reacting to the news of FFP being scrapped when i was saying years ago it was a bs rule. Now, conveniently, UEFA and everyone else see no wrong about getting over it quickly. That shows that the pretexts they were using about FPF...

It would be bad for FFP. Oh but FFP is going out of the window, right ? Otherwise, it would be one of the worst thing to do to sell him right now for your books. His transfer weighs 15 M each year during 4 year. You would have to sell him for 45 M not to make a loss. No one is going to pay that...

At last, this sham will be put down. Ironically, a rule designed to make clubs more sustainable has to be scrapped during a time of crisis. Many had jumped the wagon while most of football history has been played without this scam. All because it would stop new rich clubs from taking glory over...

I don't remember who was the guy saying Turpin was officiating in favour of PSG. A Lyon player clearly stamped Verratti foot. There is no more clear yellow card than that and he gave nothing.

I had a good laugh. Thank you very much Fati Pirlo.

I see no difference with Bar?a journos to be honest. Maybe the standard is very low in spanish sport newspapers (not that it is high abroad).
