Why is it the end of football?

£195m for Neymar!? How much must Knockers be worth?

 

[Megazone]

Not a bad shout. I'm sure we could tempt him.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

£50/60 Million?

It's no longer enjoyable is it?

Well, it clearly isn't, is it?

It is ludicrous for sure, but no more signals the 'end of football' than Trevor Francis' £1m transfer in 1979.

To quote the Big Tam:

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Why is it the end of football?

Because it has nothing to do with fans and is all about money. No player is worth that! I've fallen out of love with this commercially run cash cow of this personally.

 

[Badger]

I like how it's 195 million rather than 200 million.

It's that CLEVER trick retailers do, to make you think you're getting a bargain.

end of football is a bit dramatic, i mean you could not worry about the transfers and worry about what happens on the pitch.

So? Why is this any different from Bale going for £100M? Is any player worth £50M even? If the money in the game is killing football then it died years ago. Trying to pinpoint the death of football as this transfer is just histrionics.

No one likes to break into a £200m note without getting change.

True. They can buy a Chomp with the change. Maybe even push the boat out and get a Curly Wurly.

Transfer fee's keep going up and up to the point that middle range clubs are being out priced - Fees clubs are being quoted for Bog standard players now (£50 million for sigurdsson) and the wages - Johnny Evans 100k.

It is going to implode soon.

 

[Simster]

Have PLUCKY Bournemouth tabled a bid yet?

Quite.

in which case should have been 199 mill

 

[Munkfish]

Kyle Walker going for 50Million is more overpriced than this.

 

[Commander]

No player is worth that!

Wrong. Clearly, they are.

It is going to implode soon.

We've been hearing this since the mid 90's. Hasn't happened so far.
