Kylian Mbappe

Neither did I lol

This is how I think it will pan out.

City - Sanchez
Madrid - Mbappe
Barcelona - Dembele

It's widely reported that Madrid are trying to get Dembele sooner than Barca, they have a special transfer agreement with BvB (basically a first option for their players). Maybe we've reached some sort of anti-Barca agreement with Real and are sharing the French duo between us?

Don't ask me, all I know is this is getting fecking serious.

I never thought we stood a chance.

Off to It's Quiet...

I don't think it's accidental that we haven't bought a centre back as we're saving the pennies in the hope we can get Mbappe. If Mbappe is determined to leave we probably have best chance of getting him outside of Real and Barca.

What's in our favour is the ridiculous additional cost to both Barca and Real in signing him. No doubt with all the PSG Neymar nonsense Real are probably lobbying the Spanish government to ensure Monaco is no longer designated a tax haven.

On the plus side we have to be getting some encouragement as otherwise we would be briefing like hell that we're not keen so...

I agree, I honestly think that Mbappe will rock up at our club just as much as he could at Madrid. I think it is neck and neck between us and real, with the deciding factor being the managers (Pep and Zidane). We have in our favour Mendy who is mbappe's best mate who would help him settle asap.

Gone from 5/1 with paddy power last week out to an enormous 12/1 now.
Worth a bet for those that fancy it

Zidane conditions the arrival of Mbappé to the exit of Bale

Zidane conditions the arrival of Mbappé to the exit of Bale

That's got to be in our favour. Especially if we're willing to bring him straight in without forcing any exits.

Funny thing is all the articles about Mbappe mention Madrid, Barcelona and PSG as potential clubs. I even saw united mentioned in one article on sky, City is never mentioned.
Can't wait to hear what they all have to say if this transfer goes through.

The fallout will be glorious

Could get us tangled up in the current Qatar/PSG outrage though, not sure that would be a great move for the club.

Would serve us well to get Fernando, Delph, Mangala, Bony, Nasri shipped off and announced quickly so that there's at least the sense of "well they did sell all those players..." behind it.

I know a lot of people don't care about that stuff, and I don't really care about other fans or social media, but the old boys club will be wound up in a way they haven't been since FFP came in, and we don't want to create some new era FFP designed to properly fuck us and PSG up while allowing the Milanese clubs to spend whatever they want.

If Neymar can be signed by PSG then anything is possible
