It's Quiet - a new dawn

Well Madrid haven't agreed to his personal terms yet.

So not that easy then.

Fair fucks. Still, I'd defo argue it's the easiest bit of a transfer getting the *nod*.

Not ordering the kit just yet in case I need Mbappe on the back.

He will be needed on the pitch I reckon.

I agree. An 18 year old should be happy with a couple of tins of lager, 10 embassy no1 and a copy of razzle.

It seems to me a lot of people are blinded by bragging rights and not thinking this through

Real Madrid wouldn't think twice of making such a deal.
If we're aspiring to that level, maybe we shouldn't either.

Real Madrid are on a level above us and they could take the loss if he falters, they can take the criticism too because they are the most successful club out there.

He's not the worlds best player and may never be that, it seems crazy for an 18y.o whos done very little(forget the stats skewed by an uncompetitive French league) compared to the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Suarez and so on he's just beginning his path. Are we really saying we are at the level right now where we can be taking gambles like this? We'll get slaughtered in the press if he flops and it will be used to downplay anything we achieve this season.

This perfectly matches the story that City and Madrid met to agree we would both never pay £140m.

We then agree personal terms and are now the only £140m bid ;-)

ITKs who know ITKs. It's a club you know. He's not in it.

Do you have a secret handshake?

 

[TonyM]

This is what we want...

Okay, so I'm just gonna leave this here and straight to the point, before exiting stage left, simply because I cannot elaborate or even begin to know the authoritative answers to most of it.

We have a deal with Mbappe.

His personal terms are huge, but we have agreed to them.

let's send mail to pep and khaldoon - don't do it.

 

[andyhinch]

Define personal terms then?

It'll be worth it just for the hatred it generates Kaz ;-)
