New striker?

[ScottSinclair]

UAE and Qatar - won’t happen.

Think this is overhyped. Those nationalities won't be involved with each other during the negotiations

Agree - its the classic take cash now or get nought next summer conundrum. I've been saying we will have an eye on this deal for years. If you had to put money on who is going to be the top elite goal scorer of the next 10 years you would go for this guy.

The Quatar thing is real but it doesnt stop it outright, If we are offering £150m and the next best offer is sub £100M then what do they do.

Think PSG have to get revenue out of Mbappe if he's leaving, their spending on wages is off the scale now, a fee for the player will help with their financial planning. This is one player we should be targeting.

It would if they thought it was a better deal than losing him for absolutely nothing. It's all down to Mbappe though

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Alexander isak looked decent

We won't decide to buy a random last min player, anyone we sign would have been a viable planned option from the start
The most pointless thread in bluemoon history ;)

Doesn't matter what PSG want or for that matter we want, what Mbappe wants is the only driver there.

Very true but we can offer him most things apart from the weather.

doesn't mean we didn't decide to buy them last minute

I wonder at what point Dias entered the conversation last summer

Are there any decent strikers in South American or Portugal that are under the Radar?

I would have maybe had a look at Carlos Jr. from Santa Clara, but he's just joined Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia.
Pedro Gonçalves is a good goalscoring midfielder and could maybe be a false 9. Would be a big risk though, considering we really need an outright number 9.
In SA there's Gabriel Batistuta, but I have some reservations about him, plus he'd be very expensive.

Qatar and UAE are back being friends (on the surface at least)

I think they would for a deal as big as Mbappé. Still, I believe relations between the 2 have cooled recently.

Gabriel Batistuta is 52 years old so he would be a risk for sure…
Gabriel Barbosa? He has already flopped in Europe, failing at two clubs

Hahahaha ffs! All I see is "Gabigol" (ugh) and forgot his real name! Barbosa is who I meant of course!

I agree, those are some of my reservations. I think he has some kind of home-sickness or self-doubt.
Although having said that, KDB, Lukaku and Salah all flopped at Chelsea. So I'll never rule out a comeback.

Peak Batistuta would be an absolute phenom in our side.

One of my favourite all time players
