Kylian Mbappe

[kaz7]

You only have to look at what other players will go for...

Ousmane Dembele around 110m
Coutinho 120m ish
Dybala 100m plus
Belotti 80m
Griezmann 100m plus
Aubameyang 70m

The market has well and truly gone, no value anymore. City need to pay full whack or risk losing a player that could be the best of his generation and instead be left paying fortunes for a 2nd rate player next season around the 100m mark.

We sign Mbappe for around 150m, this will look an absolute bargain in a few seasons time, mark my words. Why settle for 2nd raters when we have the money to buy the best?

He is 18 with a few decent games thats why we shouldn't triple our record signing(kev)

Yes they certainly have a chair at the top table now ....our chair is still screeching across the floor

Its up to city now to start dictating the value of the market now, not PSG who play in a tinpot league.

 

[not my fault!]

Think they rejected a 114m bid off Madrid, not sure how valid that is obviously but thats what was reported.

That's my point though, it's media speculation. Maybe if Real did bid & it was rejected it's because a deal is already done for the player? I just think there's a lot of hot air over nothing at the moment. Said it for weeks, all out now for this lad & Sanchez on a free next Summer with Aguero leaving (not my wish just my opinion), that's how I see it. Fail to sign Mbappé & it'll be a mad dash to sign Sanchez this window & Aguero stays next season too.

Been watching loads of videos of this kid and I want him badly now I'd even say over Sanchez who I've wanted all summer. Mbappe really does look like he'll become the real deal.

Be gutted if PSG do get him come on City pull this transfer out of the bag.

We don't have to do anything. We certainly shouldn't have our business dictated by what another club is spending.

Thank you guys much appreciated...

So, the figure they actually want could be closer to the £90m I suspect? In reality everyone's flapping over some made up number when I fact it could be half the amount & a simple case of negotiating how it's paid. Like the Bernardo deal it may already be in the bag & we're just playing it cool. Point is we're just guessing so talking about £180m & if it's justifiable or not is futile.

Talking about futility, how is your comment any relevant? If a source which has been pretty accurate all summer says something, I'm gonna listen. They might be wrong. A lot of people are, but I'm gonna take notice and discuss. Also using the Bernardo deal as the benchmark is the shittiest analogy ever. I hope people stop using that as an argument in future. It was a one-off event facilitated by the player's desire to play for Pep and Monaco's willingness to sell for a not so high amount because they had an agreement with Silva last year to sell and not have a bidding war for him.

You've proved my point.... in your opinion! It's not stated fact & the "source" could be plucking figures out the air based on opinion too. My points still valid lol.
What's to say hypothetically of course, a deal wasn't struck for Mbappé then also? It's ludicrous to be arguing over a £180m fee & if it's worth it or not when it could be vastly exaggerated. I'm 100% confident he'll not sell at £180m.

If PSG do get Mbappe, they will have absolutely decimated this transfer window, well and truly and I for one will be completely and utterly envious.

They play in a shit league, I couldn't give two monkeys. It might have been a lot worse, either could have gone to Barca or Madrid, or somewhere closer to home even. I wouldn't swap our squad and manager for any other, more so if we bag Sanchez.

Guess we all like to indulge in ludicrous activities.
