The Manchester United supporters trust would love that.

PSG isnt making massive losses as far as I know.

They would suffer if QSI moved on, and would need to adjust their operations accordingly.

But that sort of thing has happened thousands of times in football.

Mounting debt levels and consecutive losses are what eventually caught up with sides like Fiorentina, Portsmouth, Leeds etc.

If (and its a big if) the Qataris are done with Paris those debts and losses will catch up with them too.

Galatasaray have confirmed to the stock market that they're in talks for Fernando.

Kelechi and Delph not far off.

Presuming they go thats 10 departures from last seasons squad. Average of just under 20 appearances in the league for each of them last season.

Pretty significant turnover.

Why the **** did city sign delph in the first place and also why was delph silly enough to go there?

Man. City has become an absolute graveyard for some players.

I guess we have the Chelsea Pitch Owners who own the freehold and name.

 

[Established1870]

Arent Bundesliga clubs owned by car companies, drug companies, soft drink manufacturers etc?

Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen are owned by Volkswagen and Bayer because they were factory teams to start off with. RB Leipzig is still owned by members technically. All other clubs (bar Hoffenheim) are owned by members no loopholes nothing.

City have a poor record signing English players. Hart probably the most successful of the lot but he came pre oil money. No major hits from their English transfers.

to make more money, to test himself against better players, you know, reasons why most players move clubs?

To play next to no games and **** his career up for a few seasons more like.

james milner, gareth barry?

if only he had access to a time machine and/or crystal ball.

Forgot about those two. Barry a big success. Milner a workhorse that did a job, similar to his role at LFC.

You could see that was going to happen when he went in the first place, hardly suprising and i remember he got shitcanned for bailing on villa as well.

He wanted to prove to Steve Sidwell and Jack Rodwell that average players can still steal a living

 

[Gosha]

Would be quite some melts from the Chelsea fanbase if a player who LFC declared they have ended their interest in chooses them over Chelsea.

Lmao. I don't think Chelsea fans are fussed about this transfer at all.

Liverpool tapped him up, have been the favourites to sign him all window and are desperate for a quality CB so if any supporter base is going to melt over this transfer it will be Liverpool's.

he made a lot of money, got to play in the champions league and win the first trophy of his career. now he'll go somewhere else and still make quite a bit of money and hopefully play regularly. i reckon he'll be alright.

Doctor Gero Onomah going out on loan to Villa. Strange! Surely that means Barkley or Meyer are joining

Injuries didnt help. Like Rodwell he was rarely fit.

Good. He needs it.
If Bruce (it is still him?) is smart he'll play him at CM

 

[jd2010]

yeah thats surely part of the deal is for him to play in his natural position where Poch doesnt yet trust him

 

[Cooldude]

Does Chelsea really need another centre back?

Doubt they think 50 mil will do the job though, report sounds fishy.

 

[robbieando]

They have to be partially fan owned.

Not Bayer Leverkusen, VfL Wolfsburg, Hoffenheim and Hannover 96

Edit: Plus Dortmund is listed on the German Sharemarket with Stuttgart and HSV having spun their Senior Teams off (to a private investor in HSV's case and to Daimler for VfB) to get around the 50+1 rule and raise extra funds.

No we dont. We need wingbacks.

 

[SM]

North Ferriby are ruining football!

Haha that's our (Hull's) local non-league club. Didn't know it'd go viral. Great bantz.

 

[Cooldude]

If we wanna buy VVD we should stop being pussies and just bid and stop playing stupid cat and mouse. Dragging the transfer on too late and you're asking for trouble, has happened under FSG too many times
