This will actually kill the sport. Football has been the greatest sport in the world because of the passionate fans rooted in the love for their club and the game. This will alienate them and instead market to people who have never cared about the sport. It's an absolute disgrace.

So you admit the problem is there and you're okay with it anyway? Absolutely ridiculous. The aim in football should be to lessen the gap between teams, not make it bigger. This makes it a lot bigger and the rich get richer.

They will mean a LOT less. Big teams will play their reserves for league games to rest up for their big super league games, this means less people will watch the league games, which means that the smaller clubs get much less revenue. This actively harms every club that's not part of the big 12.

UEFA and FIFA are corrupt but this is NOT the solution. This is a ploy by billionaire club owners to squeeze more money into their pockets and alienate working class local fans even more. They are also actively harming smaller clubs and lessening their chances of growth immensely with this. This...

Because the big teams qualify for the only competition they care about automatically. Can the CL even survive alongside that if none of the big clubs are in it?

Are you kidding? Every club that's not in the big 12 takes a massive hit. League results mean nothing anymore, the big teams can play their B teams there for all they care. Local fans get screwed over, don't be surprised if El Clasicos are gonna be held in the US instead. It's an absolute...

Not forced but they're following a plan that he was one of the original creators for. And if you read a little about it, it's him who's one of the biggest spokespeople for it right now.

We have literally 0 chance of signing Haaland though, I don't know why we're even comparing Aguero to him here. Obviously Haaland would be a better choice but the fact is that we have no money and can't possibly compete for a player that is too expensive even for Manchester City.

Not really, it's clearly spearheaded by Perez and the American owners of Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd. The rest are following along for either the insane sums of money or for the fear of being left out of the new potentially biggest competition. But this is Flo's project, it's what he wants to...

Yeah UEFA's new proposal isn't good either, but it's still better than this horribly greedy super league idea. Literally Florentino Perez's dream of marketing the sport outside of Europe, embarrassing that we're involved in this in any capacity.

I'm sure he will be a shadow of his former self but that's still better than Braithwaite, no? I'd definitely rather have a 33-year old Aguero come in at minute 88 when we desperately need a goal rather than Braithwaite.

I mean that's a huge bonus, the whole founder status guarantee is the worst thing about the super league. Literally club elitism at its peak.

If we sell Braithwaite, Aguero could fulfill that same role but obviously with more quality. Whether I like this deal or not depends on the wages imo, if he's taking a massive (and I mean MASSIVE) paycut then why not give him a shot as a backup.

Lmao is the whole squad gonna donate their savings to the club's transfer funds then? Because I doubt PSG would accept an offer of 30 euros cash and a bag of chips, which is all we have to offer right now.

I just think Haaland's attributes are more suited to a counter attacking team. He has great explosive pace as we've seen from his long sprints across the pitch and he's a great finisher. But even when we take Messi out of the equation, I feel like a striker for Barca needs to be able to play...

Well exactly, but that's the problem. Strikers like Ibra and Haaland are good in specific systems but they can't co-exist with Messi. We've tried it and seen it. What works for Barca is more versatile strikers who can drift to the wings like Villa, Suarez (when he still had legs). Right now...

Huh, weird how Ibra didn't work out for us then

He's just about the worst fit for Barca. Also we're never getting him considering the price and that every other club is after him.

Point is the privileged class will stay as the privileged class if nobody calls out the lack of diversity and doesn't give opportunities to people outside of that. People who are born into poor families often don't have the same opportunities for education and thus are left out of many important...

Oh fuck off with your merit bullshit you bunch of boomers :lol: easy to speak about ''merit'' when you're part of the privileged class. Drawing attention to the lack of diversity is always a good thing, people who have a platform should absolutely be doing that.
