Kylian Mbappe

[doobyedoobye]

Become a French icon in the French capital. Kind of makes sense...

Stupid money being touted for this guy. He is 18 ffs, played 40+ games or so and having watched his highlights I really dont see how he is worth the money at all. He has a similar scoring record to Bony when Bony was at his peak, not sure why we would want to take the same risk with even more money.

And, so many exciting young talent fall by the wayside, they look like the next big thing then the injuries start kicking in or the attitude problems start to show, I would say wait until the current price madness starts to go down again and then look at him. Otherwise it is a £160m risk, and we're no PSG.

Comparing Bony to Mbappe. Seen it all now.

Comparing potentially the greatest striker in the past two decades to Wilfred f**king Bony is a new standard....

Soy Madridista (I don't know, don't ask) have reported that Real have signed him and they'll announce at the end of the month. €130m + €20m add ons apparently. Guessing it's a load of shite and sorry if it's been posted already.

 

[Chippy_boy]

To echo what some have said on here, the sums being talked about are plain stupid. Simply because Monaco say they want €180m or whatever the number is, does not mean he's worth €180m. He's worth whatever clubs are prepared to pay.

We paid how much for Jesus? £30m? A player who aged 19 scored 21 goals for Palmerias to win them the league, and who plays as a striker for Brasil. And we are being asked to believe MBarmé is worth 4 or 5 times that amount? Ridiculous.

To be honest the links to PSG Seem to be cropping up all over Europe. I suspect that PSG have blown everyone else out of the water re the fee and Monaco are prepared to accept circa €160m through gritted teeth. Bit of a shame we have to land a biggie at some point and this was our chance but maybe on balance the fee is too high for someone with potential rather than proven ability. We've still had a great window and who knows we might sign someone else yet.

Looks like a planned media campaign, isn't it? Could be some kind of a smokescreen while Perez and Mendez are doing their business.

Who is saying we can't pay the fee?

 

[colesy]

I think we would have walked away way before now if we couldn't afford the fee.
