What are you talking about? Of course the issue isn't oil, its their abysmal human rights record.

Ooh interesting, which bit?

 

[Fordyboy46]

Fuck off with this rag talk. Why them?!

They need a striker supposedly

 

[jrb]

And they all thought FFP would sort football out.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Newcastle?

Big possibility

PSG are on their arse here and it's all their doing.

Agreed, Madrid offered them a fair price before this last extension €200 million with a year left.

I just hope this Saudi deal gets them off the hook as it’s doing for lots of clubs ATM.

You need a strong domestic market to make it sustainable. The Premier League has the biggest overseas TV rights by miles, and even they get half of their TV income from domestic rights. And the big money comes from selling rights in rich countries. Someone said on the other thread that some Saudi clubs (actually one) get 40,000 at home games. And yes they do, but they're paying less than 10 quid a ticket. That's the difference between getting a few hundred grand per game and Arsenal's 3 million per game. It's the same with TV rights. I live in a developing country, and I can get all of European football for 10 quid a month. In the UK, I'd be paying maybe 60 quid. So no, I think they do need the European, North American and rich far-East market to make it work.

What if they end up with say 70% of the worlds best players, in their prime and in their league? In about 5-10 years they will clean up in Africa and Asian markets especially those countries with majority Muslim populations. They will also probably host the 2030 World Cup.

The times they are a changing!

 

[Ithryn Luin]

So are they really going to pay 259m for 1 season?

or will he sign a 3 year deal and RM will have to find say 200m to buy him in a years time?

As I wrote earlier, Real would have to pay big bucks of around that figure. No way will the Saudis simply let him go there on a free.

The irony isn't lost on me that with FFP, sponsorship deals are judged on fair value, so where do you start with this.

The transfer market has finally lost the plot, how is the good for football around the world. Plus he’s a sulky fucker.

The irony isn't lost on me that with FFP, sponsorship deals are judged on fair value, so where do you start with this.

A player with just under 12 Months left on his contract is worth over a 1/4 of a Billion...

Yeah, sure he is!
