When do you reckon it will happen?

Next year?
Within 2 years?
Within 5?

I think we may have reached peak football lunacy

Zeli Ishmail?

While the game remains potty it is a possibility

Think a player bagging a £1mil a week is closer. Or have I missed that??

I think you are right with the £1mil shout. I think Neymar is getting 500k a week which equates to around £1 a second.

Must admit this is the side of footie I hate, it's just total madness

 

[Deleted member 4456]

We're within 10 years of it, I think.

 

[Boswell]

Kolo Toure

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

And what if he now gets a career threatening injury. I would think some big club's gonna go bump before one pays the £1bn

 

[Floyd Man]

The amount of money being thrown at these guys is even dwarfing what the rock stars were getting in the '70s and '80s. But the footballers don't get the hash, smack and coke. Do they?

 

[Wolfheart]

Within 10 years.

Worst thing is I very much doubt we'll see two better players than Ronaldo or Messi in 50 years.

 

[Chisels_n_ommers]

He better put a shift in

They used to say that about Pele and Eusebio. Others will emerge. Different generations.

 

[The Professional]

The football bubble will burst well before a £1b football transfer. Stupid as it is.

Others will emerge without question but I hadn't seen anything to rival them in 30 years before and I doubt I will for another 30 years after them.

Neymar is the closest thing and actually my favourite player but even his ability are outshone by these two!!

 

[Ian C]

5 years. Don't you just know it's going to be Gladon.

 

[wolvesaywe]

Zeli Ishmail?

You beat me to it!

 

[RunningWolf]

Think George Saville will really come into his own at Millwall and possibly break the transfer record. I'm not saying he will be anywhere near £1BN but 2-300M wouldn't surprise me. Quality player not given enough time.

 

[topcat99]

Neymar might earn 500k a week, but he still gets his mum to cut his hair (in the dark)

 

[ombyman]

Didn't Ronaldo earn 1.3m a week last year after all his endorsements were added to wage and bonuses.
On the theme of ridiculousness, have you seen totti's last match shirt has been fired into space?!?!?

The game has gone. You'd never see us firing shirts into space.

 

[ShifnalWolf]

Much further off than the media expect that's for sure, Neymar could be the next standalone superstar in the game and they only come around every 10 years or so (let alone sold - see messi)

 

[ombyman]

Worth a punt on one of ronaldos various offspring, he seems to be ensuring they have a chance, aren't there three different mothers so far?

Is Carlos tevez not on 635k a week in China or something?

Will happen when Mendes moves Edwards to Porto to help us deal with FFP
