Hard keep up with the spending of the likes of united and liverpool, Pep rummaging around in the bargain bin.
Manchester City are close to an agreement with Borussia Dortmund for defender Manuel Akanji.
Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing over a €17.5million deal and there is optimism an accord will be reached.

75m for Fofana, barely gets a mention here because that Chelsea Cunt @Sledgehammer doesnt post here anymore
They are at nothing till they get rid of Tuchel
And €90m on Gvardiol, who won’t join until next summer.
That has to one if the greatest unveilings of all time
It’s a wonder no club has gone in for Jeremy Doku. He was pretty impressive during the Euros last year for Belgium

I doubt it.
All the other leagues are benefitting of the stupidity of the English clubs paying huge money for players.
No doubt something will give and the European clubs will be much better fixed when the bang comes.
1.3bn spent in England

Maybe it will. I’m finding it difficult to envisage what that would be bar the creation of a multi-national super league.
Money always wins out ultimately and the way the game is structured currently the Premier League is heading for the sort of dominance the NBA has in professional basketball.
Without a super league the best the other leagues - even La Liga - can hope for is to fill the sort of niche the Celtic League occupied in rugby.
The petrodollar owners of Man City, Chelsea and Brown Ale FC have to spend their profits somewhere
An environmentalist like yourself would surely root for a plucky underdog who compete against these earth destroyers?

There is an obvious difference between the owners. The venture capitalists are taking money out of the club they own.
The petro owners are putting money in, in an attempt to wash the dirty money.
Deary me…
