Conte seems like a massive ****.

Wonder if this Spain FA thing sets off a fire sale from Madrid. Bad look when the FA officed are raided and the president and his son is arrested on corruption charges. Especially when you heavily rely on the FA and the Spanish gov't.

Got a feeling he has the touch of the Roy Keane about him.

PSG are back in for Alexis Sanchez and it is looking quite interesting.. More on @TeleFootball
Marca is carrying a story saying Brazilian media believes Neymar is going to PSG, and earlier this week there was talk of a swap between him and Verratti.

eek. 222m Euros. The full release clause.

Would be a shame if Sanchez ended up staying at Arsenal!

€222 million?!?!
Transfer market has now officially gone insane...

I'd say he's pretty good value for that. They will get so much back from shirt sales etc, he's probably the most marketable player in the world.

Shame his dad will want at least $50m on top of that.

Damn... where's the article I read the other day?!
Basically said that this belief is a fallacy.

Something along same lines as this:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/the-set-pieces-blog/2016/aug/24/transfer-window-market-myths

Actually it was an almost identical article, by the same journalist, re-released by the Independent last week:

I did say "etc", but that was interesting to read. My mate was adamant Pogba repaid his fee last year, will send him this.

Joe Hart confirmed to W. Ham on loan. I think he will be providing a lot of content for the "Let's all laugh at West Ham" thread this season!

Thought Schick to Juve had already fine through, but apparently there was an issue with his medical.
Found the comments from the Sampdoria president interesting “What they found is equivalent to a cold! If Juventus want to back out, we’ll sell him to one of the other four clubs that are ready to buy him."
Wonder who the 4 are ?

I think it'll still go through. Juve might manage to get the price down slightly because of the medical. Player wants it.

What a loathsome football club PSG is. Price of everything/value of nothing merchants. I'm sickened by nouveau chairmen who only know players from the front cover of Gulf carrier in-flight magazines, or FIFA awards ceremonies held in Monaco. The whole Galactico suck-off culture. PSG, Real, City and Chelsea at the forefront. Despicable clubs.

agree with the sentiment. PSG were a smart buy for the Qataris --- only significant club in the capital region of a major global player (politically) makes it a place to garner political influence and maybe a secondary ROI

If Barca got verratti and used the cash to get dembele, who they've been linked with it would look like a good deal to me
