Look at the money PSG, Chelsea and City have had pumped into them. That only one has won a flukey European cup has shown that it's very much a closed shop at the moment.

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern are the dominant European sides in terms of history and infrastructure

I don't see PSG breaking into that elite as a result of an obscene transfer for one player.

The only way I can see that they will is the improvement of the teams they play week in, week out

Agreed. But one thing they certainly have achieved. They've corrupted the transfer market beyond repair with their obscene antics.

Absolutely. Plenty of opportunity to put in a lot of underbids.

100m will soon become the going rate for any moderately decent player now.

I don't think it will. In fact I don't even think the game operates inside a bubble anymore, it's another entity all together now.

I've done my bit and ditched Sky and BT for the upcoming season. Not interested anymore.

Sure it will. This is the inflation stage. Profit taking stage to come. The locust always know when the field is stripped.

Fans will soon resent seeing that sort of money thrown around for football.

This forum reminds me nowadays of the Native American guy, Billy in the first Predator movie when he realises there is no out running the Alien. "We are all gonna die" he says before he was gruesomely speared.

10million and £1 for Lucas maria should do it

:sick:

Football is fast becoming done for me.

Even went to a Super League game the other week. Didn't really know what was going on nor who anyone was, but didn't really care. It was fast paced, fun to watch, you could sit there with a pint and it didn't cost the earth for the privilege. That does sound a bit pretentious, but the only thing keeping me interested in football is to keep up with the arguments in work. Apart from that :shrug:
