BUTOR Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Gone to the cash-oozing-endless-budget club that is Monaco. Soon enough the likes of Rooney and Ronaldo will be on their way to France and show football up for what it really is. I'm aware there is some sort of tax ordeal over there meaning Monaco citizens can keep all their money to themselves, perfect for players of the modern day. I'm glad that city will no longer get this as frequently in L1, most players in the lower leagues are there to play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that city will no longer get this as frequently in L1, most players in the lower leagues are there to play football. I hear Monaco are willing to miss out on European football for 2 years (if they even qualify) to buy their way to success. And of course that is the only way they could do it, its a tiny place so they can't get the attendances to compete. I think their entire population is something like 30-35k. Good luck to them, if they are willing to pay the wages (and probably lower than others being a tax haven) but it does seem to be a bit of a unfair advantage against those clubs that have to abide by French tax laws.

BUTOR Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just found this... Falcao will earn At Monaco: £12 890,64 a year £1 074,22 a month £268,555 a week £38,356 a day £1,598 per hour £26 per minute 44p per second Ridiculous. He could have four Freddos a second.

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Carvalho Moutinho Rodriguez Ocampos Falcao Needs a new defence, couple more midfielders and a goalkeeper to be able to challenge. Spent around 160M to acquire Moutinho, Rodriguez and Falcao! Great signings mind but clearly gone to Monaco for the cash as Porto and Atletico Madrid are playing Champions League next season. Unsure about Carvalho though, great defender in his day but getting on a bit now surely?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Got to question Falcao to be honest. Clearly hasn't the desire to test himself against the best. I have heard so much about him and his agent saying they would take as much time as possible to make sure they made the right move for his career. Clearly what they meant was he would go to whoever pays insane money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that, but take a look at the finishes each year for the past 5 or 6 years. amazing the change in dominant teams, I wouldn't at all surprised if they got up there among them.

I guess it depends on who Monaco sign over the coming months, if they have an unlimited pot of money then be interesting to see their starting line-up come August. Still signing the very best sometimes doesn't guarantee success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUTOR Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 (According to Wikipedia) Monaco have had an average attendance of 5,841 this season. Worse than the Gas! No doubt that will rise with the new signings but clearly Monaco aren't relying on attendances in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't taken huge amount of notice recently but was trawling through league positions over the past few years (very surprised to see lyon not winning much), Clearly your side look to have taken the mantel, but it still looks a pretty exciting league from the neutral.

TRL Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Are Monaco any different to Chelsea or Man City? No different to any top team. If you want to achieve in Europe nowadays you need to spend the reddies. You can include Man U in that. They had one wonder class of home grown talent, apart from that they have spent huge. It is the times we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
