The bee is a symbol of Manchester. So he's moving onto one of the Manchester clubs

 

[tramericanjr]

lol...city with a next signing

 

[nomadicsole21]

Our strongest starting 11 imo is

Ederson
Walker-Kompany-Otamendi-Mendy
Fernandinho
De Bruyne-Silva
Sterling-Aguero-Sane

I have a feeling this might be Fernandinho, Kompany and D. Silva's declining year where they will be put in and out of the starting 11.

 

[QU!K]

Does Man City even meet the English player minimum?

 

[rolaholic]

So Monaco bought Mendy from Marseille for around 10m and now they're about to get a world record fee for a defender for him just over a year later...that profit is crazy :x :x. Now Citeh' s gonna have over half of the most expensive XI of all time on their squad after breaking the record for the most expensive window. I never wanna hear folks complaining about one manager being a 'chequebook manager again' when just about mosy of the top managers spend like crazy nowadays.

Also really not sure why folks are already writing Monaco off when they can easily replace their outgoings with all the money they've raised this summer.

 

[AZwildcats]

Got to give it up to the scouts at Monaco, these guys have shipped some serious talent in the past few seasons for a lot of money.

Martial, Kurzawa, Carrasco, Bakayoko, Mendy, Silva, James, and Kondogbia. Add those to the imminent transfers of players like Fabinho, Lemar and Mbappe, that's a hell of a return on their investment. They remind me of the Porto team of a few years ago that was just printing money with the players they sold

 

[PRIME]

Holy sh...


And Cristiano, mind your ******* business.

 

[ROYGBiV]

Really surprised no one has gone after Koulibaly dudes a tank.

 

[rolaholic]

Neymar's gonna be making the wages that Alexis has been asking non-Citeh teams for :x

What was the point of having dude play yesterday if he;s still on his way out? Just to remind cules about his game-breaking ability one more time for old times sake?

Really surprised no one has gone after Koulibaly dudes a tank.

Supposedly he's not for sale by Napoli,I remember they rejected a big money bid from Chelsea for him last season.

And they actually give those young folks the chance to develop too, giving them plenty of playing time.
It'll be interesting to see how they perform next season and if they've scooped up some more young talents.

Dudes have become arguably the most prolific football factory in world footy at the moment

This is just this summer's sales

Over the last 5 years they have to be pushing over half a billi from sales :x,plus they have sugar daddy money outside of those sales so they're wealthy enough to sustain this kind of success IMO.

 

[ROYGBiV]

Monaco has to stop being a selling club. That's it.

Lavarinho Ball

 

[Armada]

Lavarinho Ball lmao Neymar's pops is the final form of what Lavar could be if he decides to get shady

 

[Armada]

PSG have cooled their interest in City target Alexis Sanchez because of 'greedy' demands from his representatives and Arsenal. [Le Parisien]

Alexis pricing himself outta a move to PSG like he did Bayern?

 

[flyeed]

Apparently CR7 has been in contact with Neymar trying to push him to move to Man U.

I can't see Man U being players now though since unlike PSG whose owner treats football as an expensive toy, Man U is more financially conscious since they operate as a for-profit corporation with shareholders. They already made their big move for Lukaku, and would certainly violate FFP and have to deal with penalties.

This last bit is all speculation, but CR7's message in this case might even be telling Neymar to wait a year. Which would be cool because he'd be putting a friendships and looking out for a younger colleague over his own chances of winning titles in Spain.

 

[flyeed]

I think this isn't Neymar's last stop though, and he'll eventually move to Man U.

I think he'd be willing to move to RM one day, but he'd outprice them with wage demands i.e. Pogba' situation outpricing his first choices Barca/RM.

And either way a Man U move would be better down the line for increasing his profile in markets like Asia.

I also think dude isn't up to the task of putting a rebuilding United on his back yet and doesn't want to deal with that pressure in the EPL. And that he relishes a first ever stress-free title run in France where his sole focus will be the CL.

 

[flyeed]

Speaking of a link b/w RM/MU, their preseason match starts 5pm eastern on ESPN

And they'll play again August 8th in the UEFA super cup.

You really wrote two novels about some silly season headline you read somewhere, huh?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

why is this happening?


It feels like soccer player switch teams way more often and more randomly than other sports.

 

[flyeed]

Trey Bantz been jocking me with low quality posts this whole summer.

It's strange how your quality of posts plummet once the club season finishes. You really must be Argentinian.

United was the most profitable team in Europe last season. 500+ mil, could buy neymar and still be well under FFP. Won't happen though

flyeed what is low quality is taking something reported by the Sun and giving a long, drawn out hot take on it.
