And the end of football....

PSG told Barcelona they are willing to pay Neymar's £195m release clause and Barca jumped at chance and allowed PSG to talk to the player

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
