With that £200 mill they're saying he's going to be an ambassador for the (bullshit) Qatari world cup. Football goes down the pan further and further.

So in effect, Neymar would be buying himself out of the clause.

Neymar wants to do things on his own and away from Messi's long shadow. I get that. However, the fact is he knew Messi was #1 at Barcelona when he signed for them. Messi is always going to be #1 whilst he's still there. Neymar wants to win the Ballon D'or and essentially carry PSG to the Champions League on his own. However, going to the fucking French league is NOT going to win him the Ballon D'or. And I really hope UEFA see the money being spent and know that it's not legally right and slam down on PSG hard.

And how can you not think it's grim? If Neymar is worth £200 million, what's Coutinho, Aubameyang and the rest "worth". It lost any semblance or reality a long time ago, but this kicks it up a level.

I'm praying there is a bubbe and that it's bursts real fucking soon. There's only so much tv money to be made.

right, bubbles do burst. footballers might follow tulips in the annals of economic history. well, not that bad, but... yeah. there's always a limit.

im sort of relaxed about this because my bundesliga/CL stream (good signal and no weird languages or malware or legal persecution) come out to only 11 or 12 bucks per month, and that's good enough for me. for now, anyway.

but i didn't know all this bullshit about qatari petrodollars. the world cup... might have seen worse venues. argentina 78 comes to mind, historically. but let's see what records putin might set. you never know with the kgb.

anyway so you're in favor of FPP? i didn't know this. demonyo is on the other end of the issue, saying it favors the status quo in perpetuity. who knows?

i try to practice detachment. at least till it really hurts ha ha ha. hasn't yet.

economics is an interesting science. i can always get my kicks from that. not as thrilling as neymar's 100 barcelona goals but o well. i'll take whatever i can get.

ps- neymar has always been a douche schooner
