>>76197346
you now remember city spent 180m net last summer (nolito, bravo, jesus, sane, gundogan, stones, ruli, marlos moreno)

And 150m net the previous season (otamendi, de bruin, etc)

it's going to be hilarious if they spend as much (probably more since they still need defenders and wingbacks) this season

like I said, foreign mega owners should be outlawed

>Reading

Literal whos from a literal who town that would become the worst premiership team ever

All of this and Brighton are coming up as well. RIP Premier League

>>76197383
how are they not violating financial fair play rules?

>>76197392
They'll probably get some chinks to buy Joe Hart or Yaya for 100billion to get out of it

>>76197392

I had forgotten about that. Why did they even let him go for like 1m profit without even trying him out when the need for a GK was obvious?

>>76197346
Bernardo Silva is really good

>>76197409
That as it may be, their midfield wasn't an issue.

>>76197392
they are, they just pay the fine

>>76197392
I don't know the specifics but I remember reading that clubs can trick the system with sponsor deals and infrastructure investment (academies, training grounds, etc)

considering the owner of city is practically their sponsor too I guess the trick is pumping in money through sponsor contracts. Not sure how infrastructure investment fits in the equation, maybe they increase the transfer cap as long as you keep investing or some shit, really don't know

also, no club owner should be allowed to own a second or more clubs

>>76197419
>>76197392
Reminder that the FFP exist to protect the clubs that could spend big when it was introduced and to protect the status quo of the moment, and was NEVER about stopping City from spending big.
This is without talking about the politics side of the situation, with the Arabs being the current big market for UEFA/FIFA.

before it was funny, but city now is genuinely buying good players.

>>76197392
Clever accounting.

For example clubs rarely pay the entire transfer total at once and instead they them across multiple years. Like 50 million transfer paid across 4 years would only count for 12,5 mill towards the financial fair play rules each year.

Forgot this guy existed desu

>>76197440
>FFP exist to protect the clubs that could spend big
it was also done so clubs, usually smaller ones with new owners, didn't sign players they couldn't afford with wages they weren't going to pay. They would compete a season playing these new players above their club means while the matter was being resolved legally, something that was happening with malaga, iirc, who made cl semis while not paying wages or transfers of some of their players

>>76197451
this is not what city is doing, they are paying everything upfront

psg and other clubs did it a couple years ago with 'loan with obligation to buy next season' type of contracts, which should also be outlawed

Is £36m on 28 y/o Perisic really that bad when City are about to drop £50m on a 27 y/o Walker and Chelsea spent £36m on a 29 y/o Luiz last year

You lads and Pep weren't kidding.

>>76197569
Perisic always looks good but never blows me away. At least they're spending "normal" money on decent players to bolster this time.

I used to support United but don't anymore, so couldn't really care if that shit eater wastes all his transfer budget again anyway.

>>76197577
when pep revolutionizes footy yet again by playing two strikers as central defenders you'll see his genius

>>76197577
He plans to win every game 7-6.

>>76197569
It's not terrible, it's just that his price should be closer to ~£25m and PL teams are paying extra as always.

>£50m on a 27 y/o Walker
This kind of makes sense, fills the English player quota, is one of the best RBs in the league and there's a shortage of good full backs in the market in general.

>£36m on a 29 y/o Luiz
You can't say it didn't pay off, he played almost every game, he wasn't bad and he was bought back for less than what he was sold for.

>>76197590
>>76197596
I hope so. I mean, I really like watching City sometimes. They look really nice on the ball really often. The man just seems utterly clueless though. How can he possibly not make a CB a priority? His backup is John fucking Stones.

>>76197569
>>76197614
Walker is from another English club. It adds so much value to harm your most direct competitors.

>>76197615
he's Barcelona through and through. Barca still haven't replaced Puyol. They just fucking hate defenders in general

>£50m on a 27 y/o Walker
i-is this real?

>>76197622
>>76197614

>>76197629

>>76197640
He's the best RB in this crappy leauge along with Poop wanting more English players to work with. Makes total sense.

>>76197640
>>76197656
How many RBs better than Walker that are up for sale can you name? Also keep in mind that City need more than one now that Zabaleta, Sagna and even Navas left.

btw uefa/fifa get a small percentage of every transfer made, so the more inflated transfers are the more money they make. And the more a club spends, the more they give to uefa/fifa

don't expect any market regulations soon

Ederson is 1000x better than Bravo. Plus he is super young. A GK that wins games. Wish he would stay in Benfica forever.

Not sure about Mendy. He's been like a totally different person in monaco than in marseille. Also this guy is all over the place in the locker room.

Bernardo is really fucking good but not used to getting charged every 30 seconds like he'll be in EPL. Hope he doesn't get injured.

Reminder to ignore 190kg faggot

we've had some fun, but after Leicester won the league, all the mega rich plastic clubs have decided to stop messing about and just spend stupid money until they win by default

it's not fun anymore, what's the fucking point anymore lads when poop can cover up how shit he is by spunking over £100m a week after the league finishes

can't stand city, chelsea and united, they want football to be boring as fuck just so long as they win and get their chink fans to buy shirts

>>76197734
It doesn't make a difference if they all do it. I like having the chance to see some of the best players in the world play regularly though, so I'm all for it.

I've got no problems as long as they play attractive football ie. not United.

>>76197734
Obviously lad, top tier football is done, I just watch the lads down the park now.

>next manager is even worse and >we get relegated

>>76197473
They're idiots, the fact David Silva is still their best player shows how poor signings have been in the past. They're the type who claim Aguero is top 3 in the world which shows they don't watch at all
I want to know if this Ederson is any good, saw the goal he conceded off a corner a few days ago

>>76197734
>>76197742
I unironically enjoy the 4CC more than the average real footy game. I might have to start watching lower league football just to get the spark back

>>76197749
>They're the type who claim Aguero is top 3 in the world
is that why they've all but shown him the door

>>76197740
>if they all do it

it's three clubs, one of which is managed by shithouse '10 men in your own penalty box' Jose, and Chelsea have never cared about good football.

it's going to end up as boring as the current NBA, except it'll probably last longer.

>>76197754
I'm talking about the average poster on this chink site, Hristo

>>76197749
yeah, he's a fucking threat to your own team in set pieces or whenever he decides to leave the goal. might be funny to see him in the Premier. but he's God-like at stopping

>>76197734
Next season will be hilarious, Poop is going to fail yet again in a league with more than one title rival. It's just not in his blood to have real competition.

it's unfair to include chelsea in the current spending craze.

While abramovic has spent big in the past, he's also been very conscious about money and adding up the last three seasons they have spent 20m net

Yes, that figure is correct, chelsea have spent 20m net in the last three seasons

>>76197781
>Yes, that figure is correct, chelsea have spent 20m net in the last three seasons
Becuase they just so conviently have been the biggest target for Chinese clubs willing to pay three times the price for players. Gee I wonder if that shady Russian owner has anything to do with it.

>>76197790
>>76197791
sorry if it hurts your feelings, but chelsea have done great in the transfer windows

nothing forbids other clubs to sell their trash to china to keep their books in balance, and it's a very smart move

Not even a Inter fan but selling Perisic would be stupid, he is one of the few decent players in team.

>>76197802
>implying setting up a team to defend well is not a skill
he just doesn't know how

>>76197830
it's only a skill if your team is shit and facing superior opposition. Anyone can park the bus with $35M defenders

>>76197830
its not.having eight players sitting back to counter is for desperate low tier clubs who have no other option

>>76197821
He wants to leave, and how can you blame him.
I think it's bad for them too but i'm sure they'll gett good money from United to buy a suitible substitution

>>76197403
Still not enough. Their revenue is at least £100m/season less than Man Utd and they still spend more.

Because he defends by having as much possession as possible/pressing the ball high and quickly which keeps it as far away from his goal as possible. After all, what really are tackles?

Future GOAT tbqh. Poop is a racist that hates blacks, otherwise he would've been top-scorer this season.

He's legitimately an elite poacher, his movement is very intelligent, and his vision and passing are much better than what you'd expect from someone labeled a poacher and nothing more.

His only real downfall is terrible first touch, and he looks funny when he runs/dribbles. Lukaku had a lot of problems with his first touch, and now he's one of the best strikers in the league.

I make a living selling food to 'difficult markets', mostly muslim/african ones. The rest of markets (europe, usa, asia, latin america) are impossible since me and my partner have to compete with the top companies of the world and we can't. But if I go to an african country in civil war or under a dictatorship, I have plenty of room in the market. I literally get away with a 1000% mark up on some fruits depending on the season. And big companies don't bother since there's plenty of security/corruption concerns and those are small markets for them, not worth the headaches. You literally have to go there to close any deal (we had to set up a new company there as an importer) and that is something most companies would rather avoid.

I see selling players to china the same way: lots of headaches, difficult market, convincing the player, very foreign language and laws, shady shit, etc... but if you are in the business of selling players, it's the best market you can target with their current huge football bubble.

And chelsea aren't selling no names or retired players, they are selling players in their prime that haven't been tainted too much. If rumours are true they were willing to sell them costa, one of the top fowards in the eplel and the world. Top clubs would pay 100m for him, so you can't expect the chinese to pay less.

They are putting the effort and being very smart about their sales, something most other clubs don't bother doing, just like big food companies don't bother with difficult and not very accessible markets.

No they aren't, that's why Nacho's not getting games. You can't rely on him to make a 10 yard pass and most of the time you can't even expect him to realise said pass is on.

I don't want him sold but he has way too many deficiencies to work in City's system

What a great league lel

>>76197417
>they are, they just pay the fine
UEFA actually had to refund City a FFP fine of like 50m because it turned out that City didn't break their rules.

So because of that City have even more cash to spend this year

>>76198241
Ball-playing centreback who knows how to defend, has stats similar to Hummels and at 21 thats very impressive.

Played in the middle or right side of a back three - two areas >we need to strengthen, great decision-making, CL experience, would count as homegrown for us, etc.

Seen him play many times in the big games against Bayern and Dortmund and he looks like the real deal to me.

>Reading
>Boring

haha, fuck off. Reading (The Royals) are one of the most unique, exciting teams to have ever played in the Premier League. Founded in 1871 in the Royal County of Berkshire we are one of the oldest clubs in the entire world and every year has been a roller coaster ride, a roller coaster fun enough to be suitable for Legoland in Windsor, another Berkshire town.

Reading, in their short stays in the Premier League, have introduced the following memorable superstar players to the fans of the division

>Steve Sidwell
>Hal Robson Kanu
>Adam Le Fondre
>Brynar Gunnarson
>Bobby Convey
>David Kitson
>Leroy Lita

This is just a few of the pieces of gum that Reading have given the fans to chew on in their short stays in the division. Exciting and memorable players. We have also had several exciting matches. For example

>Reading 6 West Ham United 1

These are just some examples of the thrilling matches that Reading have been involved in. Indeed, whenever Reading are in the Premier League it has been estimated that violent crime in Bangkok is down by 5% due to the people coming off the streets to watch READING. And the fun doesn't end there. We are managed by Jaap Stam, the former Manchester United defender. Former Manchester United defenders always make for exciting times when placed into management positions and I have no doubt Jaap will be no different. In fact we Reading fans have a chant for him 'Chinese JaapStamanese Dirty Knees Boobies' which is done to mock opposing players who are either from China (Chinese), Divers (dirty knees) or fat (boobies). We are very exciting so fuck off.

feel like we might see pep blow people's mind with a 2 man defense next season, honestly.

tiki-taka madness in the middle with B. Silva, D. Silva, KDB and Yaya in a diamond. Sterling and Sané with the width and Jesus in the box.

Then just Walker and Company at the back to chase long balls, while this new GK is standing insanely high up baiting long shots.

the season after he'll scrape a league cup/fa cup
gets another 2 year contract with promises that he'll turn it around

>>76198589
The exact same spot.

>>76198589
he'll stay on as long as possible because manager wages are increasing at the same rate as player prices right now. gonna collect some sweet dough either at arsenal and if they fire him, which, lets be honest, wont happen, he'll just move to china.

I'm not saying it doesnt, but all you'll end up doing is playing 2 extra games, and 5 games with 1 less day rest than you would in the CL. More likely to rest key players in the EL too. The effect is definitely overplayed

CB backup should be better than Mascherano and be able to provide competition to Pique/Umtiti. I'd go for Sokratis but I'm biased. Inigo Martinez should be a fine choice.

Good RB is the best your money can get. Azpilicueta would be my first choice but he won't be for sale. Aurier is great, Mario Gaspar is ok, Sidibe, Cancelo and Nelson Semedo are good but not ready to be starting for Barcelona imo.

Fabinho is a must buy. Very solid in midfield and can cover RB too. Should be the first player Barcelona move for.

Saul is better than everyone in Barcelona's midfield and can cover every position. Should be bought if not ridiculously expensive.

Coutinho is already rumoured, has a good connection to Neymar from the Brazil NT, can cover a forward position if necessary.

Keep Iniesta, Gomes, Suarez, Rafinha and Mascherano for rotation purposes unless they bring in money. Sell Rakitic, Turan, Vidal. No reason to go for Verratti that will cost like 100m.

Get a big guy to have an alternative to Suarez. I'd get Giroud desu. Sell Alcacer.

Sell Messi to anybody, one year left in contract, hasn't renewed and will free up tons of funds. Get the best player you can get that is willing to be Neymar's sub. Dybala, Mbappe, Aubameyang, anyone in the top level that won't be a bitch. Being able to play RW in case you want to switch to 4-3-3 is a plus.
