Its baffling really, one good season doesn't make any sense.

Lol yes, I blame the newly introduced Pogba metrics...
This season Opta will be providing stats on number of hairstyles per week, and completed dabbles (dabs).
"Now for the latest on the latest on the future of Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe.
Sky in Italy are reporting PSG have offered £140m, while Monaco are asking for £180m.
One source is telling us Mbappe has chosen PSG over Real Madrid, while another claims PSG will not be signing him. "
Why do people think this lad is worth so much?
They didn't pay for Neymar. Still a sham thoughSurely that and Neymar are more than their actual bloody turnover?
Nice to see FFP is a complete sham
If that's true, how much do we get? Can't believe Levy DIDN'T have a sell-on fee.
Rumor has it Jese is joining Stoke on loan
You say all this but in the transfer thread you say that City and Utd have raised the bar on transfers and are urging us to spend to compete. You can't have it both ways. We either make a stand against this fucking madness or we go with the flow. You seem to be arguing against yourself.The authorities need to get hold of football in terns of transfers and wages.
I have little doubt that many Premier League managers will have plenty to say about the current situation because it is destroying even more the essence of competition.
Look at City. They will buy another player or two and probably spend upwards of 300 million plus and with minimal in-flow. It is just wrong on every level and PSG are even worse, and owned by the same country. (All about a charm offensive as we know but should be unacceptable)
This is the season something will give I feel.
