We can't compete with Madrid unfortunately.He must be looking at Bellingham right now considering if he wants the same. The answer must be yes, he was seemingly dying to do it a year ago but they just unloaded wealth all over him.

Not when it comes to Mbappe. He wants the lifestyle as well. Cold, rainy, north west England just doesn't have the same appeal.
Paris can be cold and wet too.We can't compete with Madrid unfortunately.

The conversation with Mbappe should involve us giving Real Madrid £70m and relieving them of Tchouaméni to help them meet Spanish FFP regulations after they offer Mbappe a large fortune to sign.

More likely that Tchouameni goes to PSG.The conversation with Mbappe should involve us giving Real Madrid £70m and relieving them of Tchouaméni to help them meet Spanish FFP regulations after they offer Mbappe a large fortune to sign.
You can repeat that daily for the next 30 daysCan't believe the window has been open for 40 minutes and we haven't signed anyone. Hehehe
Its like 2 hours 45 mins now, and still no signings, fucking hell really pisses me off. I would like us to sign Manu Kone , and Inacio , is that too much to ask ? I dont think so.Can't believe the window has been open for 40 minutes and we haven't signed anyone. Hehehe
erm.. @StevieM - is this you theorizing of is it Top Top Red secret information you re leaking us ?
They have €425m in the bank, they don’t need to offload any playersThe conversation with Mbappe should involve us giving Real Madrid £70m and relieving them of Tchouaméni to help them meet Spanish FFP regulations after they offer Mbappe a large fortune to sign.
Tell him ! Tell him !If I told you the truth, I’d be required to silence you.

Because it isn't M'Bappe that would be playing second fiddle (that much should be obvious). And Barca don't have a pot to piss in. We are never going to be in the market for a player costing and demanding that much (again - that should be obvious).Chelsea, Real and PSG are the only teams that could afford him - City don't need him (or would want the financial headache / scrutiny it would bring) after securing Haaland.Tried (tried 😀) to make alittle Joke here about signing Jude,Mbappe and Vinicius earlier on this tread and it was pointed out to me that "Vinicius Jr and Mbappe play in the same position" Just to follow on with that line of reasoning, Why would Real want to sign Mbappe, or Why would Mbappe go to a team where he maybe asked to play second fiddle?
To me, and with that in mind, Liverpool Looks more likely than Real.. But people are discounting Barca
Thats because Barca are in dire financial straits. Mbappe's wages is the last they need.Tried (tried 😀) to make alittle Joke here about signing Jude,Mbappe and Vinicius earlier on this tread and it was pointed out to me that "Vinicius Jr and Mbappe play in the same position" Just to follow on with that line of reasoning, Why would Real want to sign Mbappe, or Why would Mbappe go to a team where he maybe asked to play second fiddle?

The only way we'd EVER be in for a player at this price point is if we were Arab owned.The only way that I see Real buying Mbappe is if the can us Vinicius elsewhere, much like what they did with with Luis Figo and Raul (that much should be obvious)
Under different ownership we could be in the market for such a player, Under FSG can't see it, unless the is a deal to be made with the sale of Salah
I’m not an expert in finance or Spanish FFP rules, but my understanding is that it’s not quite as simple as them having “money in the bank”.
I believe they owe a bit for stadium refurb and a lot of that money is likely one-off up front payments from the deals they signed with various investment companies that essentially got the cash, but they signed away a sizeable chunk of future income (I believe in the hope that their new partners would generate greater additional income).
Spanish FFP is different than England & indeed UEFA - so it’s not entirely clear that they won’t have to sell off some assets to balance things out for signing Mbappe.
Plus, I’m not being entirely serious.
