We've seen all this with Saudi before. Remember Russia and particularly Rubin Kazan? Remember China? It wont last 3 years.

Yeh and people will point to them having more money but I don't think it makes a difference, with no major income you would be looking at huge sums to fund the top 6 clubs for long enough for it to take off and seem competitive but there will be little to no interest outside the bubble and they will give up IMO.

But it’s a way to help the other clubs they one
It’s wooden dollars for a country so rich

I agree thats likely one of the major factors
No one is rushing to turn on the TV to watch a 38 year old Ronaldo or an over paid Kante.

Do you remember Anzhi or whatever they were called? From a random part of Russia they came out of nowhere and were competing for the title and got into Europe and all their players lived and training in Moscow or something and just travelled hours there for the home games. I think I heard they folded recently.

That's who I meant. Anzhi Makhachkala. They bought Roberto Carlos, Samuel Eto'o, Willian. Hiddink came as manager.
But they were from Dagestan, which is a completely ungovernable tribal war zone, bordering Chechnya. So yes - the team were flown in just for matches and kept completely gated-off from the entire region.

Bit different I guess, Rubin was all based on the owner and local government backing that dried up and they got done by FFP, China ended up being blocked by their government pulling the plug on them spending the money the way they were.
Anzhi's owners cut the costs after their splurge also.
Not really sure the Saudi's are going to have those issues?

MSL in the 70s was the same. It's just a fallacy to think a veterans league/tribute act show has any sustainability.

Why does everybody have to be ‘gash’ or ‘brilliant’?
Gallacher clearly isn’t ‘gash’. He is a good player with some excellent attributes.

Saw him in close quarters at Palace and he is very decent. I would not say he lacks guile, very decent on the ball

He was excellent for Palace. Young with PL experience. He wouldn't have been my first choice, but I'm certainly not unhappy to see him linked to us. If the price is right, he could be a very astute signing. But much like Bissouma, there's always a risk.

I think he's more a Ross Barkley than a Dele Alli. It's that same physicality, but he doesn't have the finesse of the latter.

He's an ideal replacement for Lamela

It could work - a last 20 minute sub to have some berserker lunatic pressing, charging at tiring defenders. Help us see out games by changing the emphasis.
Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
Quite different players IMO. Barkley was a good player but tended to hold on to the ball for a bit too long (which Gallacher doesn’t do). Despite that I think Barkley still would’ve been a bigger player than he was if it wasn’t for his injury problems.
Most likely. But looks like he might be a star in the future. So does fergusson though.

But why would we offer £100m if Barca only paid £40m? Doesn’t make sense at all.

Paul Stalteri
There were tweets recently saying he was waiting for Barca and that we were one of the clubs calling everyday to see if there was any updates etc. I didn't realise he was that expensive, There's no way Barca are paying close to 100m on a wonderkid when then are the mess they are in!
