Mole_Toonfan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Falcao for €45m to Monaco a done deal according to As/Marca. €14m per year in wages. No taxes as well mind boggles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The good thing about stuff like this is that it might end showing up top-level football as the rotten cocoon it has become (yeah, yeah Barça fan and all that) and something might be done about it. We'll see about FFP... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 How UEFA can just sit back and let Monaco spend like this is ridiculous. It's like someone has used the Football Manager Editor and given themselves £500 million to spend on about 8 players. Who cares? Somewhere along the line senior officials will be making money out of it, and ultimately that's what matters to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 What Monaco are doing is even worse than Chelsea, Man City, Anzhi or PSG. This is ludicrous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Craig-NUFC Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 They're still banned from Ligue 1 at the moment but are confident that the courts will overrule this/French FA back down. Be hilarious if the court rules against them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'd say Anzhi are the worst tbh. Not even close tbh, the only massive deal they have made is Eto'o. The rest are no bigger than likes of Arsenal or Tottenham make ( accept that they pay it with money they make through their own income mind) Chelsea or City are the next worse IMO, PSG actually have a financial model in place which will pay dividend long term and run by football people are not such senseless spending. Monaco are by miles the worst IMO, spending between 100-200m on 3 players and basically buying every player on Jorge Mendes resume when they don't even get 5k crowds not to mention they are not even paying bloody taxes. The rest look normal by comparison, but still they are all c*nts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe_next_year Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'd say Anzhi are the worst tbh. How so? At least Monaco have some sort of history to them, while Man City, Chelsea and PSG were big(ish) teams before hand anyway. While Anzhi are paying big money so their players can live and train in Moscow and just fly in to Makhachkala for their games (a distance equivilant to our players living and training in Florence) while being surrounded by large amounts of security.

Froggy Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The day some rich cunt buys Cork City and they sign Ronaldo, I'm done. I've thought about this sort of thing before. Imagine the likes of Newry City when they still existed. If I were a billionaire and was willing to spend a large chunk of my fortune on the club, what players do you think would realistically come and play in the Northern Irish league? How far would it actually get them like. I can remember Shelbourne holding Deportivo to a 0-0 years ago. Imagine getting Newry into the group stages of the CL.

Anzhi's home games in Moscow are usually hilarious, they have all the feel of closed-doors friendles. I didn't watch the EL game you played there, but I might wager a chance NUFC fans actually outnumbered the "home" fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
