Feels like PSG or bust to me (assuming we don't do something insane like sell him to Liverpool).

Laurens on ESPN confirmed Bruno was one of five key targets for PSG along with Leao, Osimhen, Bernardo Silva and the young CB from Lille.

Wonder when PSG will give up and accept no matter how much money they throw around they’re still going to be shit compared to Europe’s other elite teams 

They aren’t shit and they are a threat, they’ve been horrible at squad building though, always massively top heavy full of attackers that need carrying.

Lauren’s love to stir. That being said I’m not concerned, at all. Would hate to lose Bruno but ultimately the rigged rules means we have to sell our best players at some point. Unfortunately that means we’ve always got to keep a firm eye on what’s next.

Really don’t think they’ll ever crack it. They had Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and a team of other quality players and completely blew it. They had decent defenders in there too. Messi was still arguably the best in the world and if not then Mbappe was. They tried to throw money at it and it didn’t work. I just think when players go there they go there knowing they’re getting paid a ransom. They then see the standard of opposition of a lot of the French league and get complacent. You don’t go to PSG if you want to be the best player in the world.

 

Their only hope is Mbappe’s plan of having a French identity and players who want to succeed there

I wouldn’t write them off, I don’t think it’s imminent or anything like that but they certainly have the finances to achieve it. 
 

They were never going to win it carrying those 3 though.

Mbappe leaving is for the best for PSG.

 

If they just focussed on getting the best young French players that are hungry. They will be great. The superstar thing is to their detriment.

 

Honestly, leave the superstars and big names alone largely. That's for Real Madrid, it somehow works for them. It doesn't work for PSG.

Not the best for league that needs to renew its TV deal pretty soon. No doubt it’s the wiser strategy from a sporting perspective but the Paris globe trotters were about the only thing bringing eyeballs to Ligue Un. 
 

Bit like how the lustre of the Spanish league has faded since Ronaldo and Messi left.

Their midfield was absolutely shite though, absolutely no point in having an amazing front line if the midfield is awful.

Junior Hoilett reunited with Warnock up at Aberdeen.

 

One of those players everyone seemed to think would go all the way but didn't quite get there.

Shocked at how 'young' he is. Feels like a blast from a much longer ago past.

Wouldn’t say all the way but someone I would have loved during the Ashley years like Snodgrass, Jarvis, wingers like that.

Reeks of Ashley that sort of business. Get a news article out there about doing your utmost to sign an amazing player, wait for the transfer window to come round. Haggle for months over a few quid for an uninspiring signing, sign Harry Winks and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (on loan) on deadline day. The new Man U

Yeah, it's pretty shite. Got to make it as easy as possible for Man Utd to retain their place in the top 3-4.

Most likely true since Purslow seems now be on our side after years of demonising the takeover.

Been keeping an eye on this story as a German international joining a club in the championship relegation zone would be a coup.

 

Sheff Wed manager has done really well since taking over and wanted to sign Schulz so could have lost a lot of credibility.

 

Sheffield Wednesday's women's groups wrote an open letter to him and he's decided against signing him
