Paris FC is there for you. Insane academy but now has the means to keep their players after they turn 16.
Should play L1 next year, great city, rivalry with PSG (literally 50 meters between the two stadiums). Klopp advices. And money to spend if needed.
 
What happened? I'd tell you to become a Barcelona fan but I'm seriously worried you'd have a stroke with Real's La Liga reffing :D
The independent panel ruled that the PL APT transactions from 2021-2024 were invalid.

Previously they had ruled that 3 parts of them were invalid. This was the second half of that to determine if those pieces could be severed from the overall rules or if they couldn't be and thus the overall rules were invalid.

They just ruled that the parts couldn't be severed so the rules were totally invalid.

Theoretically this opens the door for compensation to be paid to any team that had a deal rejected or could reasonably show they were competitively harmed by not pursuing an APT deal during that window. Also City can press for their legal fees back which are millions, thus costing the PL even more.

City is also alleging the rules that were updated in 2024 (and are currently active) are also invalid. If the panel rules they are, then theoretically there would be no APT rules at all and teams like City or Newcastle could just sign a self-sponsorship for a billion dollars a year and it would be perfectly legitimate income as far as PSR is concerned.

This is likely what their giant spending spree is partly about, they knew this was coming and thus PSR is meaningless for them for a bit since they can basically back book hundreds of millions of income to offset anything.

This isn't related to the 115 charges they're facing, but obviously being able to spend unlimited cash this summer would be huge for them if a transfer ban might be coming in the future as a result of that.
 

Insane corruption. If I leave EPL, then I will root for Fiorentina.

Can EPL call for a retrial?
 
He couldn't even score in Holland.

That’s not true. He scored 8 goals in one season and 9 in another and in both seasons it was in about 2/3 a season’s worth of minutes. In fact I recall a few worldies in there too.

Of course that’s not to say he’s a very good player. I’m embarrassed to have drafted him in the last HF draft (granted it was how many years ago). Still, it seems as though some players are doing better after leaving United. Antony has 3 goals and 1 assist in 4 matches and McTominay has a hot Italian girlfriend.
 
He scoring record isn’t bad for a young winger.

Plus he’s not maintaining a goal a game average
His scoring record was horrible considering Ajax scored 4+ goals a game

Again context

Imagine your team scoring 102 goals in 34 games.
Imagine you're one of the 3 forwards and you managed to score 9.
Didn't even hit double digits in assists either.

In fact he had 1+0 in 10 European games as well.

That's a total of 10 goals and 8 assists in 42 games. On a team that scored 120+ goals.

His best season.
