Kylian Mbappé | Real Madrid Player (pg620)

[PrezIke]

Liverpool have no fucking chance.

1 year ago I'd have thought just the same. I hope you're right, but could we be underestimating this?

More and more players are choosing the PL over other former similar reputation leagues like La Liga and the Bundesliga.

Contracts offered in the PL are of course a factor, but so is TV exposure that gains further earnings. Real Madrid are clearly a "bigger" club but there have been changes have led the PL to make significant gains.

The PL is the most watched league globally by some margin now and this is in part why the La Liga president whinges on about us every 2 seconds.

Less educated PL fans express misinformed frustration when a Serie A club sells a player on the cheap to a La Liga side and then a similar player gets sold from Serie A for a massive markup to a PL club. They a HG players are sold for ridiculous over the odds prices because of top clubs struggling to find HG players that can fit into their teams given the pressure to win over developing due to the money at stake (we see this in other forms across the PL).

Liverpool are a more attractive side than even 1 year ago. Thiago would not have joined them 2 or 3 seasons ago. They are an attacking side with a large, passionate global fanbase regardless and the most successful current club other than us in the PL of late.

Also, Klopp is not going anywhere. We don't know that with Pep, but we know PSG will never sell to us anyway.

Their attacking players are getting older so there could be room, but that could also be a deterrent.

We shall see.

YNWA. Mbappe will not be be playing for a Premier League club.

Liverpool could barely cough up £30m for Thiago ...

Why spunk money when you’ve bought smart in the recent past and have a balanced team?

Squad depth + improvement on first team. Never stays balanced I'm afraid. Modern football moves fast.

Give the state of that PSG performance last night,club morale is clearly on its arse.......it might be the right time to test the water?

The scousers can have him IMO, maybe I am just unlucky but the few times I have watched him he's been as consistent as the British weather. It's not that he's crap he obviously isn't but he is for the money he's being touted for.

tu ne marches jamais seul - Lol

 

[Semper aggressus]

I'd prefer we signed either Haaland or Sancho. Ideally both.
And in a perfect world both the Dortmund lads and Mbappe.
That would do nicely.

 

[p.taker]

Assume there are a few that wouldn't have him based on how he did tonight.

;)

Did he even play? :)

 

[RayCTID]

Even after tonight I would still sign him.However there is no way he will be playing in England other than the second leg and other Champions League games against English oppposition and International fixtures.

Just been found in Ruben’s pocket

 

[dhruvblue]

Against packed or strong defences or buses he doesn't have that skill just yet

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Is that their ages?

 

[01cravend]

Giving it the Charlie large potatoes during the warm-up and then is the worst player on the pitch lol

 

[Plain Speaking]

TBF he left Stones for dead with some incredible speed and a quick deadly cross on the six yard box. How Verratti missed poking it in was incredible. PSG dominated the first half, we dominated the second. We can't be complacent against him and Neymar for the home leg. It's not over yet, we need another game like that second half display.
