I'm sorry. I didn't see anything other than you saying,I wasn't comparing the nationalities, I was comparing the quality of player coming in from each league regardless of their nationality. It wasn't my only point and wasn't offering anything definitive, simply an example to counter the point made about the Italian league being seen as a test whereas the French league is deemed a farmers league. There's very little difference in quality between the two leagues.
In relation to the post I was quoting, I think what I said was fine and made the point I was trying to make adequately.I'm sorry. I didn't see anything other than you saying,
"Look at how many players in the Premier league have come from France and look at what's come from Italy"
How could I not have known you were comparing the quality of player? My mistake?
I don’t careYou must have missed our windows post summer 2017.
It is finally the first window we can really invest and it makes a world of difference with the business we have been doing these last 4 years.
He's not wrong though. PSG went big on Neymar and Mbappe and it cost them a couple of windows because of it. They've had to rely largely on freebies and loans as well as trimming the squad last couple of windows to comply with FFP. In fact, we've spent a good chunk more than PSG in total since and including the window they bought Neymar.I don’t care
Again, I don’t care, psg can fuck off, they are not like us. they have an executive on the Uefa board, they have never been really chased after or prosecuted as we have.He's not wrong though.

This Messi thread has really shown our fans are no better than the rest of the league when it comes to throwing out uninformed crap about FFP. Didn't we just spend about a fortnight laughing at clueless villa fans for doing the same thing many of us are now saying about PSG?
Gets pissed off about something that's not even correct but doesn't care enough to stand corrected. Top man.Again, I don’t care.
No mate, I mean - as someone who lives in Paris, and has done for the majority of the past 21 years - whilst being excited, most seem to agree that its not a great idea financially or from a team harmony point of view.You can find fans of City here who didn't want Messi at all while some were in frenzy. There are even some who think Grealish has more marketing power than Messi. Different people, different opinions.
The PSG fans i know, those on PSG forum are overwhelmingly excited and are rejoicing.
And just for the transfer muppetry it is so good. Nobody is a professional fan and we can't just stay rational all the time nitpicking some details like Messi salary or his age or his lack of back tracking. We want to embrace the fun and dream. If it ends in disaster on the pitch, too bad, the time will come to cry. Now, the time is to enjoy.
Yep, fickleness of football fans sadly. Whilst laughing at villa fans reading into every small thing to go in their favour, like many on here now thinking messi will be coming here. Not a chance.He's not wrong though. PSG went big on Neymar and Mbappe and it cost them a couple of windows because of it.

Yep. Let it go. So obvious he would never turn up here.Yep, fickleness of football fans sadly. Whilst laughing at villa fans reading into every small thing to go in their favour, like many on here now thinking messi will be coming here. Not a chance.
Both the French league and Italian leagues have twelve teams who would struggle in championship. I have lost all respect for MessiI wasn't comparing the nationalities, I was comparing the quality of player coming in from each league regardless of their nationality. It wasn't my only point and wasn't offering anything definitive, simply an example to counter the point made about the Italian league being seen as a test whereas the French league is deemed a farmers league.
