We are the highest revenue earning club. We will never have an FFP issue. Glazers are even using our revenue to service their loan. We aren't state funded we are self funded

A back 3 of Alde, Bailly and Injury is really a back 2
The way he's playing at the moment isn't as good as the other two. Can and Wijnaldum have been better.
An injured Jones is still better than a fit Smalling. Until Rojo comes back and Lindelöf steps up, thats the current status
Maybe a bit, though I think him and Wijnaldum are about par so far.
Personally, I think it would have been more fair if FFP made allowances for sugar daddies to inject money into the club to the richest non-aided club in their league.
It would allow smaller clubs to grow, without doing so disproportionately to everyone else.
Do we think Griezmann would come in Jan? The more I think about it the more I consider it likely. Atleti will be able to sign people again, we don't even need to talk to the club as he has a release clause, and hopefully we look just as good in January as we do right now. Buying him then could propel us to the league title which I'm sure he'd love. 
We should be able to recall him, if required.
And they are still not mentioning Malaga.harms football? Says the league that completely neglects at least 17 of it's 20 teams. Real Madrid and Barca have dominated both the league and European football in the past 15 years or so, what the feck are they whinging about and grassing on City for? Have they ever heard of the galacticos?
Not if Atleti is still in the Champions League.Do we think Griezmann would come in Jan? The more I think about it the more I consider it likely. Atleti will be able to sign people again, we don't even need to talk to the club as he has a release clause, and hopefully we look just as good in January as we do right now.

Yeah but the bit about state funded clubs distorting the market ? Isn't it the same affect as we are having ?
Expound
Exactly. They seem like spoilt babies over at La Liga HQ.
Has someone dug up their numbers and compared to real football clubs?
I don´t think Málaga can be in the same conversation as City or PSG, but even in their case if I remember well they were banned from European competitions.
The money come from the same place, whether it's 10£ or 10m£. If you think that state fund is bad, it's always bad, it can't be only bad when it threatens you.
Of course, but in that case both teams should be banned following Málaga´s example.
Malaga got banned because they failed to pay players, clubs and employees in time, on top of breaching the 5m deficit rule.
Yes!, you are right, sorry, not the best example
Would love Alderweireld here tbh.
Should have been Monaco!La Liga complaining about state-aid is
Not that I disagree with the notion, but it really should have come from somewhere else.
La liga should also look into fair distribution of the TV contracts in their own league , this selectivness is hypocracy.
It depends on the player.
The original idea was that we have to reign in the club's that are inflating the market. We spent the same. Surely we are inflating the market too.
We are spending what we earn. Thats not inflating, Inflating is basically dumping money into a sector that wasnt earned in it. Like printing money and distributing it haphazardly. United always spent big but being a business we actually cared about prices and value. If some one like PSG or Man City are coming in and spending way above market at a rapid pace then Inflation will take place. We have nothing to do with it
LaLiga complaining about state aid
Words can't describe how much I despise Spanish football, I think I actually like PSG now.Good. Let's hope City and PSG get sanctioned.

Not Lisbon but Benfica.
You say that now...
I would assume the player gets to decide if he wants to go or not and probably did not want to go to China or play in that league.
and followed shortly by going into administration/liquidation due to their owners pulling the plug because they won't be allowed to buy their shiny toys and outdo each other
Apparently it is explained more here: https://www.facebook.com/pauloteixeira92/posts/1702411843102415
Wow that's going to be 1 almighty mess when google translate shits that out!
Ooh, that would be a good addition.
La Liga worried that City might attempt to take Messi next summer? Worried that if he follows Neymar out of their league and Ronaldo coming to the end of his days in the top flight they will soon have nothing to shout about?
However if Messi was to leave he will probably end up at PSG. PSG the new Barcelona

Leicester are fecked.
Not really. Obviously, they would have wanted to replace Drinkwater, but they've done good enough in their first three games without him.
They have N'Didi, King, James and Amartey who can operate in the centre midfield area.
2nd transfer window in a row they've missed out in signing him on deadline day!
We might need a thread on press gossip 2017-2018 to spruce up this place, but I can't really justify creating such a thread merely to ask this: Can someone summarise the interview with Jose that the Times are posting (according to the BBC gossip column)?
Very harsh of FIFA.
