Agents with sense are going to start advising their clients that way, which means lower PL clubs with sense are going to start agreeing in order to have preferential access to the best talent.

Rightly so. What the fcuk has Felux shown to make him worth a punt? Nada.
Next.
He's well worth a punt. The problem is the price is much higher than that.
The World Cup's value is derived from the players, not the other way around. The Saudis as stakeholders, for example, could finance a football tournament of teams based on their nationality open to all players, regardless of league affiliation, and in one fell swoop rob FIFA of its primary revenue source. Currently the legalities of doing such a thing would be questionable, but likely unstoppable. If FIFA excluded certain players from their tournament, they would have no legal ground to defend.
And people would rather watch Harry Kane play for England, Neymar play for Brazil, Messi for Argentina, etc. than a bunch of 2nd Div non-ESL players.
Fooling yourself thinking the WC is a roadblock. How easily it could be replaced is precisely why UEFA and FIFA will go along - they risk everything, their very existence, by drawing that line in the sand.
Your second paragraph basically admits that - the PGA tried to stand up to the LIV, and eventually folded because they realised it was surrender or death on moral principle.
Again - you make all the arguments against your own assertion, yet somehow fail to realize it. I'm left to wonder where your typical rational mind is at.
He's not. Another waste of space.
Nothing you say is non-factual and you're identifying all the right hinge points.
But your ideology, and that's what it is, that all of these processes can just be made frictionless and succeed by sheer vulgar force of money is not a description of the world as it actually exists.
Ideas are easy. Actually doing things is hard.
What the fcuk is up with the way you spell fuck more like it
I'm going to say...maybe? I don't doubt that it's the elite players that helps to fuel interest and the marketing of the world cup, but I think the value is derived from suddenly having billions of people, including those who never watch football, suddenly paying attention and tuning in. Most countries don't have a Neymar, Kane, Mbappe, or Messi but you'll have people interested in what happened with Iceland all the same. The Olympics are probably the only thing that can rival it, but I think more people seem to be actually invested in the WC while its going on.
Glad you brought it up, its a wonderful compare/contrast opportunity - how many people watch the Olympic football tournament? Same sport, same kits, similar format, and no one cares because they aren't the best players when there's another tournament the best players will play in soon enough.
going to ruin my pants if we get him
You know Kudus who is apparently going for 40m to Wet Spam?
This is young Kudus except better at that age, quicker, and a better dribbler

Piffle.
CL barely has a cash value and GLC is worth 15m+ of any team's money..... Even more for a big club like FCB.
Tottenham and Burnley among top clubs chasing wonderkid Ernest Nuamah
FC Nordsjaelland attacker Ernest Nuamah is attracting Premier League interest, with Burnley and Tottenham among the clubs looking at the £22million-rated forward.
The Ghana international is a target for a host of top European clubs.
Paris Saint-Germain, Ajax and AC Milan are among the teams credited with an interest in the 19-year-old.
Nuamah's performances in Denmark's top division earned rave reviews this season.
And now clubs in England's top-flight are ready to move to take Nuamah ahead of the transfer deadline.
Burnley and Tottenham are among the teams in the race for Nordsjaelland's Ernest Nuamah
PSG, Ajax and AC Milan are among the teams credited with an interest in the 19-year-old starlet
Everton are also keen but the cost of the deal could prove prohibitive to Sean Dyche's team
Newly promoted Burnley are said to be the most advanced in their interest.
Though Spurs are also admirers and are making enquiries into a possible move.
Everton are interested as they look to add goals to their forward positions.
But the cost of the deal could prove prohibitive to Sean Dyche's team.
But there now seems every chance that Nuamah will find himself in one of Europe's top leagues before the end of the month.
Fun Wikipedia fact. The Ghanaian academy that produced Nuamah actually OWNS Nordsjaelland.
Kind of a bit of reverse-colonialism there, if you like.
The player is a left-footed left winger and was the Danish league Player of the Year last season and doesn't turn 20 until November.
This kid is meant to be incredible. Apparently the best 1v1 dribbling forward/wing talent to come through in a long time.
If we get this guy and Orban for a combined £50m we become the hippest team in the world. But really this is what Dortmund do when they flip their biggest players.
