The signing bonus apparently increased to 300m + 100m annual salary

Why would Mbappe go to Real Madrid if he is not guaranteed the main man status...if that’s the case then you simply have no grounds criticising his decision if he stays in PSG

Mbappes case is a bit different. It’s more about his ambition to be the best footballer in the world for the next decade. Put it this way, if he stays at PSG, and next year PSG wins the Champions League, people may still give more credit to Neymar or Messi and very likely Mbappe will not get the Ballon Dor. However if he goes to Real Madrid and wins it, the Ballon Dor will be 100% in his pocket, and everyone will claim this is the official opening of the Mbappe Era. A lot of football fans are getting tired of Messi and CR7 and just hope the next era to begin ASAP. Whether you like him or not, Mbappe is the only successor of the throne, and it’s about time to do so. Choosing money over the throne is a massive massive disappointment to these fans.

Hope he can keep this up.

You mean keep on being booed by PSG fans in home games?

Jose always speak good stuff re Newcastle due to Sir Bobby. It’s nothing new. Just newspaper trying to increase sales by creating something out of nothing

Paqueta alongside Bruno = Lyon midfield starting setup. That’s Champions League quality.

40m is a steal.

I will be fucking furious if we signed another LB for say 30m which ends up worse than this lad.

Paqueta is close to be the best player in Lique 1. You can’t go wrong with a player like that. Obviously the club rate him as well since we offered 100m in Jan and got rejected. We should go for him again at all cost. Etikite is still too raw. I would prefer to sign him up and loan him back to his current team for 2 years if we really want to secure his talent. He is not ready for EPL.

Son will only leave Spurs for Real Madrid or Barcelona.

I think we should give him some EPL experience before sending him out on loan at Jan.

Look at Joe Hart. GK that relies purely on reflexes will not last long.

Could that be related to number of home grown players?

We are safe. That’s what only matters for this season.

Yesterday was one of the better games. Hope he continues like that.

In terms of talents, Hatem is just behind Messi for the last decade.

It’s not exactly “getting rid of”. The point is it’s kinda obvious that the team as a whole, and the player, are going towards different directions. If this continues, the team would be better off by playing someone else in the starting eleven and he will only become an impact sub. I guarantee you that he will ask for transfer at that time. Parting away in the summer looks more and more likely.

Strange, I remember I read some reports before that he chose to go back to Spain because he was told he won’t have that much playing time in the future by Rafa. Could be bollocks

Le Tissier

Slower than Shelvey? No, no, no....

I changed my stand. If he continues to make daft decisions, like instead of playing a simple pass he chose to dribble past three players in our own half, then we should get a replacement this summer.

I prefer a few more Dan Burn over one Marquee Signing at this moment.

Woodgate

Complete bollocks
