I’m certainly loving his tweet about KdB anyway

Kdb is our messi id say, you got young players now saying they want to play with him or hes their idol.

Throw everything at Mbappe.

Political issues and seems very Madrid bound. Would be amazing though. Shame he didn’t sign up in 2017

Maybe that’s including wages - over a number of years?

I’d hope it’s a 20 year contract in order for the total outlay to get anywhere near £100m.

QATAR LOL

Tbf £15mil seems a fair price for Herrera

I know we all have issues with the fees we get but £15mil is a good starting option

Realistically I don't think he is good enough to command a starting berth, and its probably best not to have him for the sake of it.....and there is no shame in that, we are an elite club and don't require those that don't reach those elite levels

Similar deal to Luiz imo, sell him for a profit, include a buy back fee...if he's good enough we activate it and either sell him on for a profit or utilise him

Hope that we start inserting sell-on clauses not just buy-back ones

Already can see that there will be a bit of cash on its way this summer from loanees alone

Harrison - £10mil
Herrera - £15mil
Porro - £8.5mil (if they activate it this summer)

Plus we also could see Nmecha, Muric, Meshino, Morelos etc. Leave

What would you describe as a realistic price (transfer fee only) for him?

Qatar & Abu Dhabi = Oil & Water. Never going to happen.

Realistic would be around the £50m mark but seeing as football is bonkers I wouldn’t be surprised to see him sold for a much higher price. I’d just hope it’s not us willing to spend that much.

Fair comment that. A £50M transfer fee plus a 5 year contract at say 200K a week adds up to another £50M on top in wages.
I don’t know if it will be us, but I could see something like the above happening for him from someone, and if we ain’t paying for Leo, I’ve heard of worse ideas.
