BGR, Forbes. Slaving, Terrorism Supporting Countrys Wildly Expensive PR Campaign Is Far From Over. Qatar is a tiny, obscenely wealthy countryU. S. military base in the Persian Gulf that has, justifiably so, become synonymous of late with dynastic oligarchism, shamelessvenality, modern day slavery, and financial support for Islamist terrorism. This, it probably goes without saying, isnt quite the reputation the small number of obscenely rich Qataris who run the country would like their dear nation to have. Thus theyve fronted their top public relationssoft power vesselthe famed Paris Saint Germain soccer cluban ungodly amount of money to get everyone to forget that nasty slavery and terrorism business and associate Qatar with famous and beautiful soccer guys kicking balls into nets and winning trophies. And the record shattering Neymar transfer was just the start. After spending 2. Neymar away from the despairing clutches of Barcelonathe irony should not be lost here that this is club that broke its high minded, long time no shirt sponsor policy in exchange for Qatars millions and finally lost their Brazilian jewel the first year in which the team changed sponsorsand in the process doubling the previous transfer record, PSG are reportedly now preparing to make what would probably wind up the second highest fee ever. The Parisian club is seriously pushing for the signature of Ligue 1 rivals Monacos star, Kylian Mbapp. If the 2. 5 year old Neymar is the closest thing the sport has to a Next Messi, meaning a generational talent the likes of which comprehensively surpasses all others, then the 1. Watch The Deaths Of Ian Stone Putlocker# here. Mbapp is probably the best bet to be the singular star of the generation of players after Neymars. He is unbelievably good already and had a coming out season so amazing that traditional superclubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona are hot for him. Its only natural that PSG would see this shiny new trinket and go for it. PSG have, according to reports, been after the French striker all summer. It seemed like the Neymar deal would put them out of the running, seeing as it was already unclear whether the club could even foot that bill without coming under Financial Fair Play punishment, but here we are. Le Parisienreports that PSG believe they can fund both the Neymar deal and the likely 1. Mbapp one by selling a few rotation players and renegotiating some sponsorship agreements in light of all their great new famenot, of course, that attached to the recent widespread acknowledgement that Qatar funds terrorism and it will remain forever ironic that saying this clear truth in polite society didnt really become fashionable until shameless terrorism supporters Saudi Arabia made it A Thing, but instead the fact that Qatars pet team has the incredibly famous Neymar. According to one report, Mbapp and PSG have actually already agreed to personal terms. The more reputable Le Parisien wont go that far, but they do note both that Mbapp is definitely willing to hear PSG out and that PSG have a pricy backup plan in case Real Madrid or someone else beats them to Mbapp. Yes, PSG have apparently listened to their new stars apparent wishes and intend to try for Liverpools Phillipe Coutinho. It would be the perfect fuck you to Bara if PSG thrice thwarted their Catalan rivals plans, first by batting away their attempts to sign Marco Verratti, then by snatching away Neymar, and finally by swooping in for Baras top Neymar replacement option. All this money is almost nauseating to even think about, and thats exactly the point. Qatar, by way of PSG, want you to think of them as an entity so rich and powerful that nothing can prevent them from achieving what they most desire, that even the established powers that be must cower before their financial might, and that when their best laid plans finally, inevitably come to fruition, the result is a product so dazzlingly and stupefyingly great that no one can help but bow down in awe of what theyve created. After all, its a bit harder to remember thousands of faceless poor people dying in deplorable working conditions when the resulting World Cup stadiums are just so damn cool looking, or to think of the thousands of innocent people murdered at the hands of terrorists backed by the Qatari government when the broad smiles and shining faces and stunning highlights of Neymar and Mbapp in their gorgeous PSG shirts are plastered on the TV all the time.
