I don’t understand people who think “But if he came here, he’d win things and make tons of dough, even if the reputation of Manchester is ‘a few leafy green burbs and consistent rain which turns to sleet in the winter, and cloudy as fuck most days!’” when these players are all multi-multi-millionaires and this is a LIFESTYLE as much as it is anything else, PLUS it’s not like you aren’t going to win plenty playing for the top clubs in Europe!
Mbappe appears to have made it crystal clear to the entire world: I’m going to Real Madrid, so they can either buy me before my contract ends or I’ll go on a free when it does end! I’m young, one of the best players in the world, have already hit the heights and don’t even need the money anymore, so I’ll do what I want, when I want!
Haaland is about to be “that guy,” too!
If YOU had your druthers, without your blue tinted specs on, where would YOU play? Paris, Milan, Munich, Madrid, Barcelona, London…. or Manchester???
Pep looks like he’s probably a short timer, so I don’t think even he’s a serious draw for the top young players anymore.
