Bruno scored an unreal free today and what has De Bruyne done so far this season? Nothing. 

 

Welcome to the 21/22 season lads. :pardsgrin:

Nice win for Leicester.

 

Daka and Soumare look like they will be very useful additions for depth and rotation and can provide some of the things Vardy and Tieleman's do when those two are out.

I'd love for us to be like Leicester. Nothing crazy, just progressing every season.

 

I know right. Just really smart decent signings that the manager gets the most out of and improves.

Ultimate club, so well ran and likeable, they’ve won the PL, FA Cup and Charity Shield in the last few years. Amazing achievement.

I’ve never gotten why anyone would buy PSG, as great a city as Paris is, one of my fave places on Earth, it’s a dead league and more people will globally say watch NUFC play a random PL game than PSG vs whoever. For all of your Neymar, Mbappe and potentially Messi, even if they win a CL, they will never have that kind of appeal an Ajax will, infinitely less more than a Man Utd. Just don’t do it Lionel…

Problem he has is unless he takes a massive wage cut then his options are tiny. I'm assuming he's weighed it all up and PSG, as scummy as they are, offer him a good team, can afford to give him what he's asking for and the chance of winning leagues, cups and a genuine tilt at the CL for the next couple of years. It's not the move I'd have made personally, if I'm comfortably financially then I'd be looking for the challenge pov and accept a massive hit on wages. Sign for someone close to his heart or a club he adores back home maybe? PSG ticks most of his boxes and it's obviously the best option he has plumped for. 

 

Bit of a shit end to his career imo but it's his decision.

The timing of what has happened hasn't helped Messi.  If this was in May, he'd have so many more options.

I’m not so sure like, they are able to have half a dozen kits a year, most of which they don’t ply in and sell a fuck load in merchandise.

Aye because of Neymar and Mbappe, as a club though if you’re their now owners they’d be way down on the list of a club to want to buy surely? Again it’s a dead league in terms of true competition and it ever becoming equal or close to say the PL, Serie A or La Liga.

I agree with you that they are a nothing club in a virtually dead league, all I’m saying is they in terms of merchandise and as a brand have turned them into something.

They are a club who were created in the 60’s and have virtually no history aside from being the club to being Ronaldinho to Europe, although they were close to selling him to us at one point.

Maybe they are playing in a dead/easy league, but maybe that’s what they wanted? This way unlike in the Premier League they have no competition, they will almost certainly will win all the titles and qualify for the Champions League.


Alongside this, France and in particular Paris have some of the highest levels of tourism in Europe, and regularly surpass that of London and the U.K. In this aspect they have a large market of day trippers to come to a match, and buy Paris/PSG related merchandise.

 

In hindsight buying an Ajax, Benfica, Olympiacos, Roma, or Celtic/Rangers may have been easier and had a waiting fan base, but since they have bought them they have done well to turn them into a brand and which you can arguably say surpasses the likes of the likes of Real Madrid, Barca, and Man Utd, despite not having the history and past success of those clubs.
