    Neymar a real Marquee signing

    Gone to PSG as they pay the release clause figure of £198M.
    £515k a week for 5 years

    You can get a lot of tents for that!

    Hope he doesn't do a cruciate!!

    The sooner some Clubs go bust with all this lavish spending the sooner a cap is put on players transfers, but I feel that boat has long since past, O for the great days of the 60's when it was played by men for the love of playing and the shirt instead of dirty money.

    So with purchase plus a five year salary cost of £134M, we're talking about £1.25M/week. You must be able to insure against cruciate or other career-ending injury; so what's that going to cost PSG around 2.5-3% of insured value? So £30-40k/week, about what BFC would probably be happy to pay for the fast/tricky winger that we'd all like to see signed before the season starts; it's a different world.

    It's worse than tha according to the BBC

    Neymar will earn 865,000 euros (£775,477) a week when the Brazil forward completes his world record move from Barcelona to Paris St-Germain.

    The 25-year-old's wages will equate to 45m euros (£40.3m) a year before tax.

    Looks like Fair Play rules may scupper the deal!
    Wouldn't that be fun!

    A spokesman for the office of La Liga president, Javier Tebas, had warned on Wednesday: "We will not accept the money for the liberation clause, the reason is that we have doubts that this money is in accordance with UEFA Financial Fair Play rules."

    The total value of the deal is worth nearly £450m (€500m), which includes wages, bonuses and a buyout clause of £198m (€222m). Neymar has been offered a basic salary of £26.8m-a-year (€30m) after tax, around £515,000-a-week.

    Way out of our league, not the sort of problem Mr Garlic is ever going to have to deal with. Leave them to it.
