With all due respect that's complete bollocks. You can't buy commitment and loyalty. If someone and I include Mbappe doesn't want to be here for the right reasons (footballing/trophies), then he's not welcome.Yes thats all nice and fine. But were talking about transfer fees and wages. Some players you just need to offer the biggest and the best. Like right now if PSG said Mbappe is for sale wed be daft not to put our best wage and transfer fee in. Whether he wants Madrid or not. 1) Itll increase the price for Madrid 2) He might swing our way.
If de Jong wanted to join us so much, he wouldn't have gone to Barcelona. In the same way Sane wouldn't sign his new contract because he wanted to go to Bayern.But then there’s players like de Jong. Who wanted to join us before going to Barcelona and for whatever reason we decided not to go balls deep for. Big miss IMO, don’t get me wrong it’s not a glaring position we desperately need a player in but I just think the lad is exceptional.
In Barca’s squad I think there aren’t many players that are unsellable and he’s one.
Gone a bit quiet, one more in does everyone reckon. Koulibaly?

Jlinz?..I think we can take that as confirmation that some of our targets are still active competition, or were until very recently.
3-4 more to come in , all after PortugalGone a bit quiet, one more in does everyone reckon. Koulibaly?
Pablo MorenoGone a bit quiet, one more in does everyone reckon. Koulibaly?
After his performance against Barca it needs to be a freeI'm not convinced Napoli will reduce the fee to the level required to get the deal done
