Which footballer has more money than Ronaldo?

Image
Answer: Faiq Bolkiah When you think of the world's richest footballers your thoughts immediately deflect to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo , Lionel Messi and Neymar - not a 19-year-old kid who plays in Leicester City's reserves. Faiq Bolkiah, nephew of the Sultan of Brunei (Hassanal Bolkiah) - who is worth an estimated $20billion. Faiq Bolkiah is a Leicester City player. The winger has yet to make a first team appearance. Bolkiah has represented Brunei at international level. Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah. To give you an idea of Bolkiah's wealth you need only look at his father, Jefri. The Sultan of Brunei's brother has reportedly splashed out roughly £10bn in 15 years as head of the Brunei Investment agency. And, at one point, Jefri was apparently spending a staggering £35m a month on cars, watches and white gold pens. The Leciester winger's father was also believed to have owned as many as 2,300 cars - including Bentleys, Ferraris...

How would it be if Zlatan Ibrahimovic was still in PSG?

Image
If Zlatan was still at PSG, there was a huge possibility that PSG would not have gone for Mbappe or would have offloaded some other player (maybe Cavani or Di Maria). However, since the question does not explicitly mention anything, I will assume that the question wants the answer with respect to this lineup - Neymar, Mbappe, Zlatan , Cavani, Draxler, Di Maria. Obviously all of them cannot be accommodated in the same starting 11 at a time. Zlatan is ageing. So, I cannot see him starting for all 36 Ligue 1 games or all the UCL games. If Zlatan was still there, he, Cavani and Mbappe would have shared the two forward spots among themselves with all 3 being there in extreme situations when the team desperately needs goals. That would have made the lineup a nightmare for opposition defenders as if their current attack is not scary enough. Though it is highly unlikely that Mbappe could have come to PSG in such a situation as the starting spot would not have been so much for grant...

Why would anyone support Tottenham Hotspur?

Image
Tottenham are the best premier League team in terms of transfer policy, youth development, attacking football, maximum utilisation of available resources. Tottenham Hotspur didn't spring suddenly from nowhere it was built like every team under transition it also had it's ups and downs now the team enjoys the fruits of their hardwork. They are yet to win a big trophy it can change in a matter of time but the important thing in sport according to me is the person who plays the sport and also the fans who watch the game should enjoy it in that case hands down Spurs are the best in Premier League. Combining attacking football with consistent results is quiet difficult in PL as best shown by Liverpool then comes the transfer policy building a team is hundred times more difficult than buying a team as shown by both Manchester clubs,youth development is another area where Tottenham trump their rivals best illustrated by the number of Tottenham players linked with every club...

Does Ronaldo give Juventus what it needs to secure the Champions League?

Image
He is an exceptional talent who will raise the potency of the team and bring to the club huge attention and vastly increased marketability. On a sporting front… He will change our style, for whilst Max is ever the pragmatist, his hand will be forced, to some degree. For Ronaldo will not settle for a 1 goal lead when he plays. How much he will play will be an interesting riddle to be solved as the season unravels and emerges from the horizon. In terms of the team we now have. I would say it is the strongest since 2006. Two goalkeepers of great class. Vying for the number one jersey. Bonucci remains an exceptional ball playing stopper who alongside Can should/could provide the muscle and hustle in the hole between defence and attack we were so sorely lacking last term, which will unleash Pjanic to play more freely, and stick to focusing on his strengths. Chiellini is an old bag of bones but still eminently capable, with Rugani, I hope, set to step in and if he can ge...

Why is Chelsea Football Club hated so much?

Image
Obviously nobody in their right mind would deny that Roman Abramovich's investment has elevated Chelsea from the plucky underdogs who used to snag a knockout trophy here and there in the late 90s to one of the most intimidating teams that have won almost everything. That being said, here's my take. 1. They've upset the established order. Look at Arsenal fans whining and complaining throughout this thread and elsewhere for the past decade or so. Chelsea have directly replaced Arsenal as the chief challenger for trophies in England. Arsenal and Liverpool fans have been left to sadly reminisce about  their past winnings - while teams like Chelsea and City add trophies to their cabinet in the present. Frankly, I couldn't give less of a rat's rear end what was won in my dad/grand father's time - Look to the present and the future. 2. New, Overseas Fandom. The victors get the praise / backing of the masses. I sure as hell don't think that 300-500 m...

Will AC Milan ever be great again?

Image
There’s only one thing that rules today’s football and it’s money. I personally would start by assuming that for the next ten years there won’t be any success. ACM needs to build a long term plan, especially reinforcing the chinese/asian presence. This should increase revenues that in turn lead to more solid financials that allow for higher market expenses. I would then focus on the network of scouts around the world. ACM in the past had a strong connection in Brasil, that brought kaka, thiago silva, Leonardo etc just to quote the latest big players that flourished in AC Milan. By paying little these new prospects we can either build talent or fuel the market season by selling talent and reinforcing areas in need. Slowly AC Milan should in 3–5 years reinforce the italian presence to compete in the Scudetto title. This means that our presence in the UCL will not be in jeopardy eveery year, and with it the hundreds of millions from TV rights and marketing exposure. me...

Which footballer is the richest in the world

Image
There's a lot of speculation over who is the richest footballer on the planet. Different publications have different answers but it narrows down to only two people and everbody knows it. Yes, its either Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel messi. No one can exactly estimate their net worth as it includes their weekly wages and tonnes of endorsements. And so the answer has to be ambiguous even after you get all the figures correct. Cristiano Ronaldo   Ronaldo’s Real Madrid contract earns him more than €18 million per year. In 2014 he featured on Forbes list with total earnings of $80 million, which he made between 2013- 14. He is the captain of the Portugal national team. He became the most expensive player in the world when he moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009 in a transfer worth €94 million. He also makes money by endorsing famous brands like Motorola, Tag Heuer and Nike. Lionel Messi Lionel Messi is a true football legend. It is a pleasure to wa...
