Daily mail. Not reading that shite. He'll be fine at PSG they're not going bust anytime soon.

They won’t go bust, but it’s evident that the Qataris are getting relatively fuck all back for their grandiose investment, either in terms of success (other than the bland league title), or prestige, and as such, there are already moves afoot to dramatically cut down on spending and go for an ‘alternate’ strategy of buying French players rather than world wide elite like previously. It’s only a matter of time before the Qataris cut them adrift and move on to the Premier League imo.

Will the other French clubs never demand action? With financial fair play etc don't think they've ever had a transfer ban or anything have they?

Doesn’t that create a path way for Hugo?

It's crazy how a section of our fanbase is taking his rejection really badly

 

He's allowed to make whatever decision he think is best for himself, no need to take it so personally 

 

Players have rejected us before and will reject us again 

 

Him joining PSG isn't ridiculous if you try and remove the nufc bias from the situation

Yeah, as in the champions league, when they won’t have any decent players to get anywhere near competing for it, like Scottish teams.

Purely the manner of the rejection. Not being rejected itself.

Again, so what

 

He owes us absolutely nothing and it won't surprise me if we use interest in other players just to force decisions from players, so we play the game as much as anyone 

 

Think some of our fans need to develop a thicker skin, not like Bruce obviously, where he just talked about a thicker skin but in reality he was so fragile

It's not saying PSG are going bust It's the other clubs in the league. Just Google it there are other articles. It basically means PSG will be a league of their own even more so than now.

It’s a massive club and presumably loads of money, so I don’t think you can say it’s a mistake. Whether he plays or not might not even matter that much, it’s like a lottery win. 
 

He obviously wasn’t that interested in coming here. He probably doesn’t understand our potential just yet. 

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't say he wasn't interested in coming here, it's just that he preferred PSG. They were obviously tapping him up as well, and you can't really blame him for choosing what he considers his dream club. If they'd shown no interest he would have come here IMO.

Not like the French league is known for producing some of the best talent out there.

France has the highest percentage of players playing outside its own country in the world, other than Brazil, for a good reason…

If you're arguing that the French league is about to implode then who knows (highly doubt it), but if you're trying to say that Ekitike made a terrible choice cause in he'll be playing along the likes of  Scott Brown and James Tavernier in a few years, then nah [emoji38]

I’m arguing nothing. Short term, PSG is a fairly good move for the lad, albeit I can’t see him getting much game time (certainly not many starts). Long term, the French league looks like it’s going to implode, and noises coming from PSG about their new strategy sounds like the Qataris will pull the plug to move someplace more worth their while. It’s a fact that most decent French players play outside France- simply because the league is poor in relation to Italy, Spain, and yes, the Premier league.

There's nothing wrong with being annoyed by the fact that him and his agent let us spend significant amounts of time trying to get him to agree to move here this summer. If they hadn't wasted our time, we could have spent that time moving for another first choice forward target, possibly already signed and bedding in to the squad.

 

Some of the shit people are coming out with is another matter entirely though :lol:
