Kylian Mbappe

Everyone blames ffp but City still spent a lot of money during that period and still failed ffp. They just spent it badly in the main.

It is very easy to say we spent poorly after the event. What if we spunk £130m on Mbappe and he flops?

Nothing to do with Mancini,he didn't make the signing's.

Yes agree.

I hear you, it's a bit like reading tea leaves. But be fair we didn't need hindsight to know what the outcome would be for Scott Sinclair

As fans we want the best signings for our club and all of them to land running and significantly contribute to the development and advancement of the team / club. You are right, not every one works out, but I don't think for one moment we don't undertake due diligence on any target. Buying a player, no matter where they are in the pecking order in the world rankings will always carry risk.

That's what I'm talking about small club mentality

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I think that was more a homegrown purchase tbh.

RM have, rightly in my opinion, balked at paying €180 million for him. Does that mean they have a small club mentality?

it wasn't 180 million euros as any fee paid to a tax free country out of Spain is subject to a 20% surcharge ......its why Real stepped away

But they haven't decided against signing him because they were worried about him being a flop.

RM are a big club and Mbappe is the next best thing, so why haven't they shown their big boy's balls and signed him.
