neymar's been a particularly shitty saga for a variety of reasons beyond just getting poached. barca loses players all the time, especially youth products to the EPL solely because of differences in labor laws (shouts to Pep for bitching about that type of poaching as a coach and then doing EXACTLY THE SAME THING THIS SUMMER). this has been a debacle for a variety of reasons beyond that and the idea that a 222 million (plus tax) doesn't stop a team from activating a release clause is absurd.

that's bad precedent for everyone. except neymar's dad. he's loving it.
