It's Quiet - a new dawn

I thought the personal terms and agreeing stuff with the player would be the hardest as it all depends in if he wants to go or not

I'd be surprised if he's on 10 bags a week at the minute so getting 10/15/20 times that's is going to turn his head. I think Monaco will know he won't have as good a season as last year with a poorer team around him. I'd say it's on.

He probably watched us play Real and thought "fuck me, I'm having some of that"

Hard to quantify what is most difficult. Agreeing personal terms is in any case a huge step forward in signing him. Good stuff.

I think it's been mentioned but if we're pusing the boat out this hard on especially young players/players with a few years left I have a horrible suspicion something is boiling in the background, and it isn't good

Doubt we would know about that

some resistance to mbappe most probably comes from that angle.

No it doesn't,i think it's all pretty ridiculous for an 18yr old with one good season

 

[PJM1891]

not hit the news anywhere?

TBF B.Silva came out of the blue, and it's Monaco again.

Sure just go with with youth so...

.......Jesus ...Mbappe......
Sane ...Sterling ...Bernardo
...........Garcia..............
Mendy Stones Tosin Maffeo
..........Ederson.............

Subs: Gunn, Latibeaudier, Luiz, Foden, KDB, Diaz, Roberts

Still can't fit them all in. :-)

True enough, mate.

Albeit, how big do his pay demands need to be for a club such as Real Madrid to think twice?

Perhaps this was what Pep was eluding at the other day when he said Madrid don't have more money than us?

I have 2 theory on that:
1. One of the terms was probably guaranteed starting spot, and Madrid can't give that because they have to sell Bale and Bale is obviously not sold yet.
and/or
2. His wage demand might be close to Ronaldo and we all know how pissy he gets with these kinds of stuff. I don't think it's about Madrid not having the money.

We don't have to accept it. There's fuck all we can do about it, granted and those who think it'd be madness to let him go will move on, but accept it? Nah.

Fans moving on = accepting it imo

Doubt we would know about that

Maybe, maybe not.

Wouldn't be surprised, given past dealings with them, that we're preparing for the worst and hoping for the best
