I think this thread should be on general forum.
We also didn't operate like that when we signed Mario. That was just Mancini/Hughes buying who they thought would make us good. People like Adebayor, Nasri, Balo and maybe even Yaya and Tevez would never in a million years make the cut these days on personality (maybe yaya and carlitos winning mentality would turn it around)Good point. It seems that our player recruitment takes into account personality these days. Mario was maybe the exception, but that was more eccentric, as he seems a thoroughly nice bloke, as all our players seem to be
Watched the interview with him on TV last night. Might be me but thought he came over as a right ****. Right up his own arse. Kept saying ‘I am Kylian’ like he was slightly unhinged. Really wasn’t impressed - thought he had his feet on the floor but he looked the biggest ego I’ve seen for a 21 year old.

The current approach started with Soriano, Txiki and Pelle, and the first task was getting rid of Mancini who were unfortunately not the type of character fit for it
Selective choices there.Strange how the Mancini era signings remain our best bit(s) of business - Silva, Yaya, Kun.
That 5 year coma you were obviously in can’t have been pleasant.Strange how the Mancini era signings remain our best bit(s) of business - Silva, Yaya, Kun.

Where did PSG touch you when you were a kid ?It's a common theme at PSG
He has a big ego indeed. Ever since he was a kid at Monaco. He has made a famous interview where he said that he wanted to play while being 16 or 17 years old and he had some conflict with the coaches. He said that they shouldn't argue with him about his age, he was good enough. And after that he scored 3 goals. That is Mbappé for you.Watched the interview with him on TV last night.

Fixed.Selective choices there.
Zabba and Kompany from the Hughes era.
De Bruyne, Sterling and Fernandinho from Pellegrini's.
Ederson, Bernardo, Walker, Jesus and Laporte from Pep's.
In his Neymar.Where did PSG touch you when you were a kid ?
You must not watch PSG games then.To me he seemed ok, good English
If klopp or pep was his manager he would be best player in the world. Add the work rate to his speed and skill
Think at PSG it’s just him v Neymar and not about the team

It is incredible the amount of hatred you have towards this club to take any chance you can to make a dig at them.

Even in PSG, he is not the best player. This is Neymar and it is not even close. When PSG has no solution, Neymar is the type of player who can drop deep into his own half, keep the ball, dribble past players and create an opportunity out of nowhere. Mbappé is "only" efficient when he can get the ball in more finishing positions or with space to attack the defence. Still a great player, even more incredible at such a young age, but nowhere near best in the world.
Secondly, there is no Mbappé versus Neymar. They like to play with each other so much on the field that they forget to pass the ball to another teammate sometimes. I think it is due to them trusting each other skill better than the other guys who could lose the ball with a bad first touch or misplaced pass.
You should keep the therapy money for yourself. You seem to be triggered by anything remotely linked to PSG.Considering who the owners of your club are and how they conduct business, I would propose therapy to help with the denial - or at the very least, thicker skin

I'm not in any denial and why would i care about the owners. I'm a fan of PSG, not the owners. I couldn't care less about their business as long as it is not related to PSG or have a direct negative impact on my people. Most of the owners are billionaires with shady practices. The only way to support a clean sport would be to support an amateur club. Even your socio club like Barça is engaged is shady practices as evidenced by Rosell trip to jail and the suspicion around Abidal kidney donor.
That said, I don't see the linking between you talking about "ego being a common theme in PSG" ans the identity of the owners. Is Mbappé a bit cocky because the Qataris owned PSG? Why was he cocky already at Monaco? I guess because their owner is a shady russian oligarch to keep your narrative.
And you come here to play the friendly card with the City fans while their owner is none other than an UAE Sheik... Will you propose a therapy to all of them too?
At least my club and its players aren't de fraud ing the tax agency.
Not happy about being subbed off and angry towards Tuchel.
Maybe, I'm not a body language expert, but it just seems wrong, looks like he has no respect for Tuchel.To be honest, I clicked play expecting to write a comment about how his attitude seems to have dropped off since he first burst on the scene and he was being hailed as mature beyond his years.
However, that just looks like a player being frustrated at being taken off and having a reasonable debate with his manager.
