For the next round of domestic rights I don't see how Sky can justify a higher bid to their shareholders given the downward trend in viewing figures. BT are slightly different in that they more or less acknowledged that the PL bid was a loss leader to increase fibre broadband take-up so if they persist with that policy they may take a larger chunk of the packages. The overseas rights are a different matter as the interest doesn't seem to have peaked yet so there may be scope for an increase there.
Is it just me that thinks Neymar, whilst being a good player and capable of world class moments and performances isn't at the level this fee suggests. I mean Sergio on his day or Neymar?
Call me daft but I'm more excited about the player Sane could be than what Neymar is now.
He's marginally better than a one in two in la liga where Messi and Ronaldo are goal a game players. They are different planet granted but Neymars record is like a Griezman (another I dont think that much of) who is realistically a £70/80m player in this market.
I don't watch Barcelona or Brazil a lot but when I do I am more impressed by Neymar than anyone else on the pitch. He is a truly gifted player. And he's miles further down the road than Jesus. Jesus has a great future ahead but I'm not sure he'll ever have the natural ability of Neymar. Neymar imo is a once in a generation type - just like Messi.Messi's stats, global appeal, contribution is miles ahead of anywhere Neymar could get to. In a few years, or one hell of a season (as with Mmuffine), Baby Jesus has as much chance as Neymar, especially as PSG doesn't have the same high profile the Basque Rags do.

It's quite late here actually.Far too early to say that.

nominally it could be someone else other than PSG giving Neymar the money. It's all financial gymnastics but it wouldn't be showing up on PSG's books.Make your mind up. Which one is it?
Is it really sustainable?
The Tv bubble will burst one day and ticket prices won't make a ripple in this sort of spend.
What's Mbappe worth this week after this?
If revenue goes down clubs will spend less. It doesnt really matter if it's sustainable as there is no requirement to continue spending at current levels.Is it really sustainable?

Hypocrites at it again.
Come on PSG, get this one over the line.
And Barca is also backed by the same state having Qatar as sponsor.Haha, state backed clubs? Like clubs that get the government to buy their land at inflated prices to bail them out of all of their debt?

Personally think revenue is only going to increase anyway.

They must have moved to the other side of the country.Basque?
Amazing that none of of the media have drawn this obvious parallel.No one batter a fucking eyelid when the Rags paid £75m for Lukaku, who I'd say is around half the talent of Neymar, and probably around 5% of the marketability of him. Oh, fuck it, let's be honest, Lukaku will be £90m. So, I'd suggest it's Mourinho's fault that PSG had to pay £200m.
