Bants Republic - Financial Fair Play gets everybody. PSG and Man City are not like everybody.

Who would have thought we would see the day when Messi would don the jersey of a football club situated outside Catalonia? Well the time has come and our belts are tightly buckled for the ride.

The stench of the financial rot at Barcelona FC has traveled the ends of the world, so that is no news, but seeing how much PSG and Manchester City are shipping out to acquire new talent, we cannot but wonder do they have the Biblical blood of the lamb on their doorposts which is warding off the spirit of Financial Fair Play from visiting their households?

Also, the countdown to the end of a hugely eventful summer transfer window this season is well and truly on. Should we expect any more surprises?
