While I would prefer a club growing thanks to good management and self investment, saying that PSG is ruining the French league is ridiculous. The league is getting more and more attractive thanks to them. Marseille, Lyon, Monaco, or Lillle wouldn't have gotten investors if not for Paris bringing France back on the map. When they buy local players, it's a huge influx of money for the other clubs. TV rights are getting higher and higher.

Yes, on paper they have the best team and should win the league pretty much every year. But same goes for Bayern, or Real + Barça. And in a few years, maybe some of these teams I listed above will reach the same level or close, and the top of the league will be more competitive.

Also they're the most hated, but just like Real in Spain... Everyone hates the capital, everyone hates the rich.

I vastly prefered the ligue 1 before Lyon's era, anyone could be champion and we had the most suspense across Europe. I don't really care if a plastic club is based in ligue 1 or in another country in CL.

I wonder how good Dortmund would be if they didnt lose any players (2013+). Götze, Lewa, Gündogan, Mhki, Hummels.
I am very sure Bayern only bought all Dortmund players because they are german, Lewa is the one exception. If Dembele were a german player, I am sure bayern would be very busy with him this summer.

So has anyone actually spoken with Coutinho?

The club’s definitive stance is that no offers for Philippe will be considered and he will remain a member of Liverpool Football Club when the summer window closes.

Barça is on Seri. I prefer that option to Coutinho although he's not as talented, he just fits better in the system. And much cheaper.

And Pearce is media mouthpiece for Liverpool while Sky is semi-decent for Chelsea and absolute crap for anything else.

They injected a ton of money for sure. Which is why it is a seller's market right now. So if I was Liverpool I would sell now to Barca, same for BVB. Because I suspect you would not get 100+ for these players elsewhere and also not in the future.
And then you can reinvest that money next year when the market has calmed down and buy 2-3 players. Of course that assumes nothing crazy happens next year again.
