Sounds delightful. However probably means Skintventus have to pay cash for Lindstrom whilst getting nowt from us until next year. Unlikely to happen.

Ah, so you are saying we should buy Lindstrom, loan him to Juve then get Chiesa on loan with an option to buy. Jobs a goodun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The door is definitely not closed on Saudi teams joining. Aye, but the reason they play in Europe should be quite clear to anyone who has passed GCSE Geography and Religious studies.

I mean compared to prime Ronaldo (both) or Messi types. Probably the best player in the world at the moment though and the best of his generation. Better than Haaland, KDB etc. And his World Cup exploits means he's already a living legend. Nobody in his generation is coming close at the moment.

toon25 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Mbappe is undoubtedly one of the world at the moment. We'll see how long that lasts once he loses his pace, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I don't think anyone can defend this argument. I mean I bet PSG would have snapped their hands off for a 100 million maybe 150…, I guess they just made sure man city or Chelsea could not match them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) The £259 Mil bid just makes no sense to me - if PSG need to sell then surely they'd accept a lower offer. Edited July 25, 2023 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbappe's probably the football equivalent of whoever is going to be the best tennis player over the next decade. We've had the Ronaldo/Messi/Federer/Nadal/Djokovic era, he's still world class just not their level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me appreciate FFP to be honest, would have felt hollow as fuck to win by dropping obscene money and having a squad that was champions league winning worthy within the space of two years. I say that on one hand being pleased about it and on the other annoyed, given that FFP isn’t actually interested in the integrity of the game, but adding to the status quo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like it could be, let’s see what the interest is in the Saudi league, if each team in the league can have a bunch of quality players then it’s hard to imagine it not getting a big following Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
