Money boy is in Paris.

prick.

[Pizy 17,860]

Ibra, you know what to do!

[gary gordon 1,777]

You can't blame the lad for taking the money. We only see it through the eyes of a Chelsea fan. Some people prefer Paris to London..

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Don't really understand the bitterness of some. Napoli sold to the only team willing to pay his release clause, he himself didn't seem to mind where he played next season. Not every player desperately wants to play in England/play for Chelsea, the French league is getting better and he's part of a great period for PSG. Fair enough.

[Special Juan 27,093]

Good luck to him, staggering amount of money he will be earning, monstrous in fact. Wanted him badly here, think he is one of the best in the world but I am also very glad in a way we are not forking out such astronomical amounts but spreading over a few signings.

How is it that the guy gets "Money boy" and "prick" when ONLY 1 TEAM paid his buy out clause? What was he to do? Good luck to him

Of all the things you can criticise him for, the one thing you can't say is he has no ambition - PSG is one of the big projects in world football. Could potentially become the first French powerhouse of the modern era.

Some of you lads are acting like spoilt brats. Almost as if you believe Chelsea is by right a bigger club than PSG. Chelsea were in the exact same position a decade ago. The only difference is that instead of bitter Chelsea fans whinging and whining, it was Liverpool fans or some shit.

Whenever a Chelsea fan says with bitter adorn 'he is just doing it for the money' I cringe and murder a small kitten. You are doing this to the world, not me.

I do think a player who actually chooses to go to the French league like Falcao did lack ambition. Cavani pretty much went to PSG because it was his only option other than staying at Napoli. No one else was willing to pay his release clause.

At PSG, if they don't win the Champions League, no one cares because winning the French League is so meaningless these days. With the absolutely staggering amount of money their squad costs it makes their domestic league an afterthought. The standard there is low, so if they don't win the CL their season is really a failure.

If a player has the option to go to Real/Barca/United/Chelsea ect and chooses to go to the 5th best league in Europe, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

"Money boy"? That's very ironic coming from us Chelsea fans since over-paying in both fees and wages is how we got most of the players we did in the past decade.

Paris is (hate saying this) a pretty cool place... So I don't blame him and he was left in an awkward position as his employers wanted the money!!!

So good luck to him - we didn't meet the clause, PSG did - end of story

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Now I know how the other club fans used to feel when we paid high transfer fees.

Anyways as for Cavani,I wish him well and hope he continues his good form.He's a really good football player and doesn't deserve harsh words about this move.

Bonne Chance Edision.

[gary gordon 1,777]

Now i just hope we play them in UCL. Would love them and Madrid at some point.

There is two ways to look at this, it shouldn't read "Leaves a bad taste in your mouth" yes it maybe strange he has chosen a some what weaker league over where he could of potentially ended up, but if teams where not able to stump up what Napoli wanted it becomes a moot point. You also have to appreciate that he might just be leaving Napoli to go to PSG to actually build something there, which is a fresh start where all parties receive exactly what they want.

This isn't just about the clause, but about the astronomical wages that go with it. The club have to stop somewhere, and maybe this is a step too far for us, and to be fair it isn't a bad thing. We all want the best players here, but I feel the club and board have made the right choice in this instance if we backed out of this.

Blah.

I dont remember us fighting to avoid relegation like Paris did with the Sochaux & Troyes under Lacombe, I remember a Chelsea that won cups, supercups, and was playing the Champions League, having players like Desailly, JT, Zola & JFH ... & co.We were a good side, and with Romans money we are now a top side.Our situation with Paris is absolutley not the same, we needed the money because of our financial situation, we were not a toy of a Qatarian Emir, promoting the 2022 WC.
