Benjamin Mendy

[damrider]

honestly the only thing i'm getting from this summer is hoping that monaco win the league again and fuck over PSG.

Does anyone know how much we were willing to pay for Mendy?

Neymar is going to completely change the market, £50m will look like a bargain in 5 years just like £35m for Agüero seems like robbery now.

Even Sterling looks cheap when you consider the players moving for similar fees this summer like Salah.

Now lets take Mbappe

Interesting..the BBC just deleted their tweet about Monaco confirming the sale

one thing never changes on this thread - no page without "we overpaid" discussion. Guess it's less mentioned on arsenalmania and ragcafe.

I have no idea how anybody could suggest that we have overpaid. We are about to sign a 23 year old left back for around £50million. This left back potentially could be one of the brightest and best leftbacks in europe/the world for the next 5-10 years helping City to win the premier league/fa cup/league cup/champions league in the process. Much smarter people than us have assesed his progress and believe that this player is a cert. So considering what we will win with him at left back, £50mil is peanuts.

Yes let's get Mbappe, bring it on.

No, and no one knows either what Monaco named as their price at the start of negotiating.
