well here we should talk about soccer like who is your favorite player ? who is your favorite team ? you can have up to 3 players and 3 teams but if you have 3 that means you dont like 1 better than the others and i might make a chart of wich teams and players are most popular here on AG

@Laughable

I disagree, the battle would still mostly be for experienced players who are at their peak or peaking; look at Arsenal, we spend money on young potential talents, yet not all live up to it. You see clubs paying the most for all the established chaps, not some fresh new starlet because you know the former ia more likely to pull it off when it comes to crunch time.

I kind of had a mind blank while writing my posts I assumed by same money it would mean low because if clubs in australia and in spain had the same money then I assumed it would have to be low (Australian clubs having lots of money... -_-)

Assuming it was higher ammount of money. I just think it'd be a bit boring. It wouldn't be a question of money anymore but just what someone wanted to do. Because if all clubs had the same money. They could all have equal chance in terms of money to buy players.

There would still be some players in their peak getting bought but if each club has an equal chance at a grab. It would come down to

1. A manager who doesn't know how much the player is worth.

or

2. The player likes a certain club more.

I really love it when big name transfers happen.

Also there is this same thing in an australian sport (It's only in Australia). You can only have a certain wage maximum (About half the players are at this wage), but many club's managers don't mind bending the rules (Money under the table) and it just becomes a whole corrupt system.

Well like look at FCB they spend every thing for the players that are good like now they want RVP and they have Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol and many more like when they talk about the amazing Spain team they also talk about FCB but yes other teams do get younger players like Bayern they get 13 year olds and develop them.

Lol omarzoco, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Puyol, Busqets, Valdes, Messi, Fabregas, Alba are all FCB youth academy products. So yeah, it's all nonsense to claim FCB splurges on players.

Oh okay well don't they all have academy products ? like don't all teams have academy products ? so ya Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Puyol, Busqets, Valdes, Messi, Fabregas, Alba what about if FCB gets RVP than will he be called a FCB academy product ?

All teams have, but whether they groom them like Barcelona, is a different issue.

Lol no, of course not. RVP never was a youth product of Barcelona.

Spike, either you are brave, or really stupid. Everyone here loves football.

By most do you mean 1 in 100 of them?

One of my...cousins likes Arsenal a lot. He had a lot of Arsenal gear. It was pretty cool. He schooled me in Fifa with Arsenal too.

Have you tried watching golf?

So, Olympic update. USA won gold in women's. Japan got silver and Canada snagged bronze. Mexico won the gold for men, their first time ever. Also they scored in 29 seconds in the gold medal match. Ya, that is a new record in FIFA history. Brazil got silver. Don't know who got bronze, I would guess Japan though.

If I told you my club, I wouldn't be able to set my virtual eagle claw into this threa again. Or for the matter the rest of Armor Games.

But clubs that I think are okay are FCB, Real Mad, and Chelsea. I don't exactly support them but I like their players.
