    Paul Clement is Ancelotti's mate. It's a hell of an upgrade from Sigurdsson.

    Forgot about the Clement factor. They'd have been at Bayern at the same time wouldn't they?

    He's been Ancelotti's assistant at a few different clubs, Bayern included.

    Wikipedia reliably informs me that he was his assistant at Chelsea, PSG, Madrid and Munich .

    "Carlo m8, got any CMs lying about?"

    There's a lot of things in the air so how much of it is bollocks I don't know.

    Mirror are claiming we've accepted 60 million for Sanchez which has freed up enough profit/wage bill to bring 3 in. The likely candidates being Lemar, Draxler and... Ross Barkley.

    Renato Sanches to Swansea is one of my favourite transfers ever.

    Leverkusen have bought a 19 year old defender with 15 league starts to his name from Olympiakos for £20 odd million. That's got to be a Greek transfer record by some distance.
    Mitroglou to Fulham was the previous one I believe and that one was 12 million or so?

    EDIT: Manolas was 15 million euros apparently. Still quite the difference, especially for a 19year old, but he was a target of several big teams iirc.

    PSG have realised how massively corrupt the loan for MBappe looked and have made it a straight transfer, hence the need to get Draxler out of the door before UEFA's FFP crew get a look at the books.

    Have PSG thought all this through, or do they just reckon they can get away with anything? European royalty will ensure they get a lengthy European ban.

    Draxler going out the door for forty million isn't going to fill much of the three hundred and fifty million quid hole they'll have made this summer if that Mbappe deal goes through under the new terms. They'll need another hundred million in corrupt sponsorship on top of that.

    They've got that coming in from Nike due to the Neymar deal as well as a host of Brazillian sponsors (apparently).

    Can't imagine the equation he had to put into Excel to get that one out. 6 super computers working in tandem for a year to produce that take.

    What's this freeing up profit/wage bill business about? Has that come straight from Wenger's box of bullshit?

    About 40k a month I think it worked out at. Here's the car he just bought:

    You can only increase your wage bill a certain amount every year as a percentage of revenue or whatever, it's in FM.

    I'm gonna need to see the workings that show Arsenal need to do this before they can buy anyone before my bullshit detector calms down.

    That can't all come from clicks. Do they have mega sponsorship deals or something?

    Plus he must have to pay for the equipment/production and presumably pay the contributors.

    Making the videos can't be that expensive, and the contributors all claim not to make anything from it (although a few of them have their own 'brands' on the side of it). What a genius.

    500,000+ subscribers on YouTube. 10 videos with over 1 million views. It's lucrative stuff.

    Honestly gents, we're missing a trick.

    My niece is hooked on Ryan's Toys, which started with a kid opening toys and is now videos of him doing any old shit.

    Here he is shopping for school stuff, posted 10 days ago.



    4.3m views and counting.

    Those videos are fucking insane.

    Kids videos on YouTube in general are insane. Any old shit will get 5 or 10 million views (my son is happily contributing, and since I let him I suppose I shouldn't complain about it).

    YouTube is serious stuff. They're all faking "beef" right now on it and releasing "diss tracks". Half them must own at least one Supercar alone. I'm surprised Arsenal TV is making that amount just off 500k Subscriptions right enough.

    Lol at Arsenal bidding £90m for Lemar - they've got the worst of the lot at double the price for leaving it so late.

    YT ad revenues have tumbled fairly recently so he's probably not making as much these days. Plus having people swearing throughout tends to get you flagged and that means even less from advertisers.

    Pretty much anything can get millions of views on YouTube now if it's packaged right. If it's aimed at children you're looking at billions of views.



    Four hundred and eighty million views.

    They do need him now Sanchez and Chamberlain are offski, but the fee is bonkers, even taking the inflation into account.

    Having just looked at the top 20, they all appear to be music videos.

    With this absolutely dreadful effort at number 1.



    Number of views equivalent to half the globe.

    What are the highest views for things that aren't professional music related?

    I've never seen him play but I just got Lemar tatooed across my back. If anything goes tits up now, I can just claim it's dedicated to the GOAT.

    It was probably PewDiePie. Despacito is a truly awful song enjoyed by terrible people, very popular in football dressing rooms.

    I had a quick check of Wikipedia, there are only 3 non-music videos in the top 50.

    One is a Russian cartoon about a bear (not the one Challenger liked) the next is an animated video of 'Wheels on the bus' and rounding it out is an indian nursery rhyme.

    Video games, or folk who started as such, are probably the biggest Youtubers. Pewdiepie, who John mentioned, will be a multi millionaire. Easily.

    Just search "FaZe" on YouTube and look at the houses they're living in.

    Edit: views wise, popular music songs will always have the most views, obviously.

    A weird thing in all this crazyness is meanwhile, Real Madrid has sort of become one of the more sensible clubs in Europe with this new mentality to bet on their own academy and young, spanish talents like Asensio, Carvajal, Isco, etc

    PewDiePie, that's the one. From what I've seen his videos should be used to torture captured ISIS soldiers.



    Twenty one million views. See how long you can last.

    He's since lost all his sponsorship deals due to complaints from people in his neighbourhood blew up.

    Next week, neighbors are holding a meeting with city leaders, police and code enforcement officials to consider whether or not to file a class-action public nuisance lawsuit against Paul and the homeowner.

    “It’s terrible, it’s a bad situation and I feel bad for them, but there’s nothing we can do,” Paul responds. “Jake Paulers are the strongest army out there.

    “Dab,” he adds, before dabbing onscreen.

    Before signing off the newscast, Paul also turns his camera on the KTLA reporter. He points at his shoes and yells, “What are thoooose?” before running away with his friends.
