Creampuff 22,628 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 The Russian league will never overtake Europe's best.It's too cold, so the pitches are either shite or fake, and a lot of top players wouldn't move there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt many top players are going to want to play in a country where bananas get scudded aff your teammates head every other game. They have to pay millions more than the rest of the clubs to get half decent players like Hulk and Witsel who are no great shakes but cost more than RVP and Hazard.

Better chance with the World Cup squad staying in Brazil?I know next to fuck all about foreign football but Neymar seems very good and the prices you hear when talking about him i'm surprised a side like City have not came out and got him, is he even that good?

Guys like Oscar and Moura were being touted for £25-30 million. Neymar is the Messi of Brazil just now, it will take a crazy fee to secure him.
