>In European football leagues, the most commonly used "tactic" by the big teams in a league is to just buy the smaller challenging team's best player

Nice sport you have here.

can't win shit when you don't defeat your direct rivals

napoli keep trashing relegation fodder but they get rekt by good clubs

>>75253963
it's literally the same in all sports and all continents

>>75254005
No, it isn't. Are you taking offense to me saying "European"? I'm sure it happens in South America or wherever else as well in your type of football.

>>75253963
>>75253963
in burgerland they just buy the whole team whats the difference

>>75253920
Same with Spurs and Chelsea

>trashing shit serie a teams

wow congratulations

>>75254056
Exactly what are you referencing? I can assure you that the best team in any American sports league has never just bought up their opponents team. It's a nice fanfiction, though.

I'm thankful for our retarded franchise sports leagues system for this reason. There may not be true parity, but it is generally more competitive in the long run. Each team kind of follows the business cyle boom/peak/bust/bottom repeat.

>>75254118
I guess you can argue that New York and Boston had a habit of dismantling plucky small-market teams for about 15 years. Every time somebody in Oakland hit a triple, Steinbrenner would be waiting at 3rd base with a contract.

>le play well when it doesnt matter team
same goes for Roma and Fiorentina btw

why even bother watching italian football?

>>75254324
Sure, the Yankees used to do that a fair amount, and the 49ers and Cowboys did a similar thing in the 90s pre-salary cap. But you can't do that in any American sport since the new millenium.

Meanwhile, in Europe
>Bayern buys Lewandowski, Gotze, and Hummels
>PSG just buys the league
>Juventus buys Pjanic and Higuain
>Chelsea looking to buy Sanchez
>Real and Barca buying up every decent player on any other Spanish team but Atletico

>>75253920
Napoli is a flashy sprinter, while Juventus a long distance runner.

>>75254470
no kidding lmao after mertens insigne and sarri all leave at the end of the year the league will be over by october

>>75254478
In MLB the richest teams do still buy their way to success, its just far less obvious. And in the NBA all the good players team up to win championships, which is a similar problem.

>>75254118
>what is the Warriors and Durant or early 2010s Heat

Kys, you stupid nigger.

>>75254478
PSG buys the league ? What was the last relevant player they bought from Ligue 1 ?

>>75254702
Ben Arfa was one of the players of the season at Nice

>>75254702

Having Psg's budget in Ligue 1 is really fucked up.

>>75254662
>that
>"buying" up an opponent's team

Are you autistic? That had literally nothing to do with money.

>>75254738
Yeah Ben Arfa who had one good season after a terrible career move to England from a team that used to be middle of the pack/near relegation.

>yeah mate just install gommunism to make it so that every team is terribly mediocre and mediocre to watch dudebro

Fuck off amerifats stop derailing and ruining this perfectly good thread

>>75254902

Well... They rarely buy players from the others teams because there's not enough good players in the league. Watch them go after Monaco players next year.

>>75254639
>In MLB the richest teams do still buy their way to success, its just far less obvious.

They're just far less successful. The Dodgers are the highest-paid team in all of pro sports (Even more than those European soccer teams owned by oil kings), and they've accomplished nothing. The Yankees haven't done shit since 2009 either.

Because it is the league with the most fun football. Better than the English hoofball league were memes like Benteke and Lukaku are good

>>75255006
But this isn't the case at all. In our sports leagues, teams still assemble star-studded squads, it just takes a lot more work.

>>75255022
Monaco has more money though. It will be the other way round if they manage to sell their entire team as everyone predicts

>>75255006
What a dumb, uninformed post.

>>75255022
There are plenty of good player in the league.
They could have bought Kante when he was at Caen, they could have bought Mahrez when he was at Le Havre in 2012 (they were following him be he choose to go there first in 2010).
They could splash the cash on Lyon to get some of their player too. We have plenty of good player

F L A T T R A C K B U L L I E S

>>75254216
it's so contrived and produced. every team eventually gets good and bad and there's nothing to fight for, just wait until the system manufactures a championship story for you.

beautiful stories like leicester can never happen because of the bullshit parity

>>75253920
>>75254071
It's a real shame that your leagues don't have playoffs. They would help mitigate the whole "richest team can buy the league" thing.

>>75255167
The Cubs went 108 years without a title. A lot of teams in other sports, like the Eagles, Lions, and Vikings, have never won a single one.

>>75255237
I don't think so. It's the still the richest teams who win the CL each year.

>>75255079
Shit teams get good players so it doesn't take more work.

Look at Man U who spend hundreds millions every year on the best quality dabbers of each league and they still struggle in Europa League drawing against Anderlecht and being 6th in league.

Or look at Inter, Malaga previously, Lazio previously , Hoffenheim, Man City, even teams from meme-leagues like Zenit can't dominate.

>>75255105
Who cares the thread isn't about amerimeme sports anyway.

>>75253920
Because Sarri is a meme who can't make substitutions and line-ups or rotate

>>75255237
There is already a thing like that, it's called the cup. But why would you want your entire season to just be a bunch of meaningless friendliess
And fuck.off americans no we aren't going to watch your shit sports and you're too dumb to even understand football, the simplest sport in the world

>>75255325
Jesus you are so fucking mad. Take a break from 4chan, Jan.

>>75255373
It's okay it's my job.

My entire lifegoal and source of money is to kill all americans. God i hate americans so much

>>75255237
Juve wins the correspective knock out competition almost every year too, it's just too strong.
Also the Juve buys the league meme is stupid, they only ever bought Pjanic and Higuain last year in recent times, the other 5 leagus were won without buying the competiton's players.

>>75255458

if the Portuguese league combined with the Spanish league, La Liga would be both the most competitive league and the league with the most elite teams in the world

>>75255486
Just a prank bro

>>75255499
No because Portuguese teams would get bankrupt within 2 years if they don't get guaranteed champions league football due to them being unable to not get ripped off by agents

>>75255499
Yeah but you'd never see Portuguese teams in the CL again

>>75255534
Tell that to the US government, friend.

>>75255626
Ok

>>75255320
>It's the still the richest teams who win the CL each year

The richest 10 teams, though. Not the richest 1 or 2 who can buy out all the others. It's a much more even playing field. Manchester United are the richest club in the world, when was the last time anyone seriously thought they could win the Champions League? 2013?

>>75255325
>There is already a thing like that, it's called the cup. But why would you want your entire season to just be a bunch of meaningless friendliess

They're not meaningless. Regular season performance would determine whether or not you get into the playoffs. That's why I'm saying you could restrict it to the top 5 teams. And the knockout tournament could give incentives to the team that finishes 1st (a bye in the first round, as well as facing the lowest-ranked team left standing in the second round).

>And fuck.off americans no we aren't going to watch your shit sports and you're too dumb to even understand football, the simplest sport in the world

I didn't ask you to watch our sports....

>>75253920
napoli has made the same number of points as juventus in the second half of the season. The difference between the 2 teams is the bad spell between milik's injury and mertens goating it up

>>75255598
>>75255577
well there are 4 spots for La Liga I think so Benfica and Porto still would have a possibility of making it but yeah you guys are right
