6 of the most craziest off-the-pitch incidents from this transfer window

#2 Barcelona and PSG announced simultaneous press-conference amid Neymar speculation

Who's laughing now, eh?

Rewind to the time when Pogba was still the 'ridiculously overpriced' showman of Manchester and the footballing world was yet to be appalled by £100m+deals. That is also the time when people still thought Barcelona had the clout to pull off barter deals in Europe.

The world fell into a fit of frenzy when PSG were reported to be growing incapable of containing the urge to trigger the perceivably untouchable release clause of Neymar. It was suggested that the Italian regista, Marco Verratti was heading in the opposite direction.

But as curiosity mounted and most cynics sniggered at the possibility, PSG and Barcelona went ahead and announced simultaneous press conferences. Europe buzzed with THIS IS IT talks and to be honest, you wouldn't put it past PSG.

However, to everyone's dismay, when Unai Emery and Cavani sat by the mic's, Neymar's name was strictly off-limits. The press conferences turned out to be pre-match media briefings. Fans around the globe who had woken up at ungodly hours to catch the biggest announcement of the summer live were simply put, miffed.

PSG did sign Neymar in the end though. (Capt. Obvious packs a punch).
