Making sure I book the entire day off for transfer deadline day!!! I think this will come down to the wire!!

At the time we had 4 and lost Tevez. So we had Kun, Balo and Dzeko, with Jovetic also being in the works.

We could have done that deal easily.

Instead we ended up with Jovetic and the rags ended up with the title.

Be told !! It had nothing to do with NOT paying the fee.It had all to do with him being given virtual game time, something that City wouldn`t give him.Straight from the horses mouth in an interview he gave 12 months later and substantiated also by City.

100% correct.

He turned us down, mate.... he wanted to work with danepack, who lied to the crocks face and told him he had 3 more years left. We dodged a huge bullet with van rapist, regardless of what we think... those red knobheads paid 60m for a player (all in), who made Darren anderton look lucky!!!

100% correct.

And I don't believe it for a second. With Carlos leaving there was a huge void of playing time there.

All indications at the time lead to it being a done deal, but we just wouldn't pull the trigger.

Easy to rewrite the narrative afterwards though.

ANYWAYS...

Mbappe. Lets ensure we grab him and have a decade of a world class player, rather than wonder "what if?"

 

[Harsh Lesson]

The telegraph or English media in general is not credible for PSG whatsoever:

PSG makes first offer to Monaco, €140M + 30M in bonuses:

Paris United(one of the first to report on Neymar to PSG, stuck to their story even through Pique's "se queda" troll) first to report Mbappe wanted PSG, and that Paris would soon offer. Move is being pushed by Nike:







Source close to Monaco confirms Mbappe chose PSG



Deal to be completed soon

Apologies, most of these sources are in French. The tweets should be translatable though.

Bit sceptical about that Jason Burt article. Would he really have the inside track on PSG? Why are no French media outlets reporting the same?

French media are pro PSG, they have favorable paper coverage and their owner is Chairman or something like that of BeIn Sports which allows them global propaganda basically . That's why French outlets don't really put any other team on the same platform as PSG. That's really the only thing I envy about them is that they countered any potential negativity by already having the outlets in place meanwhile we have to read and hear everybody show their contempt against us when they should be for our success like outlets are for Madrid/Barca,Bayern,Juve and PSG. If we had lost the way PSG to Barca English media would still be talking about it.

In that case view other posters also confirming what I`ve been saying.

What's your take on our chances for Mbappe?

Tevez didn't leave that summer though did he? Pretty sure van persie went to the rags the summer before Tevez left. We started that season (12/13) with Tevez, Aguero, Balo and Dzeko and then Balo went on loan in January... Perhaps my memory is wrong though.
