We arent getting Mbappe, he will clearly be off to Madrid.

 

Can Nike not fund it to get round FFP? City have got away with that for years.

 

I understand you saying that about Pogba or Neymar, but Mbappe? I haven't read anything to suggest he's disruptive.

 

I think his wages would be. Plus he sees his final step being Madrid.

 

That's why I said "I'm not convinced" - I don't know either way.

 

........Noooooooooooooooo

Not a chance he'll be allowed to leave for free. I'd be very surprised if a new deal isn't agreed.

 

Barcelona 'hijack Bruno Fernandes transfer'
Barcelona are reportedly preparing to hijack Manchester United’s move for Bruno Fernandes.

United made Sporting Lisbon their No.1 January transfer target but have so far failed to reach an agreement with the Portuguese side.

The Red Devils are understood to be willing to pay around £55m with add-ons, although Sporting are holding out for closer to £65m.

They face a race against time to get the deal done and reports in Spain suggest Barcelona have now entered the race.

And the Catalan giants will then look to loan Fernandes to La Liga rivals Valencia for the remainder of the season, reports Super Deporte.

They're gonna buy the whole club? That's a bit desperate.

 

Meh, we'll just swap them the club for Pogba

 

I think they'll value their club higher than a tenner mate...

 

Wijnaldum contract issue
Liverpool are set to offer Gini Wijnaldum reports Dave Maddock.

However, he claims the reason the Dutchman has yet to agree new terms is not due to financial issues but rather his age.
The midfielder turns 30 this year and speaking on Redmen TV, cited by Empire of the Kop, Maddock shared what he understood of the situation.

They club will offer him a new contract.

The key was not that, but that he’s approaching 30-years-old. When Liverpool are looking at contracts, they reward contracts for performance – but they also look at potential sell-on. But the fact is at 30-years-old, you give one more contract, you get nothing for it.

You have to be sure that when you give that player a contract, it works. If you give him a five year contract, is he going to go on until he’s 35?

I suspect they’re talking to him about length, not money. They’ll give him the right money.

 

Messi urged to join Liverpool
Lionel Messi has been urged to join Liverpool if he ever decides to quit Barcelona. Yes, really.

The Argentine has resisted leaving the Catalan giants numerous times in the past but admitted a return to his homeland appeals to him.
However, Francis Nkwain, a football advisor and agent, has said on the ‘On The Whistle’ podcast, cited by the Daily Star, that he believes Liverpool is the only destination for him if he wants a new challenge in Europe.

[Liverpool] have hit a little sweet spot they can only add to.

They are the kind of team where, if Messi was to move for one final challenge in a competitive league, Liverpool is that club.

Not really sure where to go after this one. Not much I can say. Next!
Note:hahaha....haha..would never forget his Anfield Experience in 2019

 

Mbappe doesn't have a chance with us

 

Hodgson 'considers' quitting Palace
Roy Hodgson is reportedly close to quitting Crystal Palace after growing frustrated at the Eagles’ lack of transfer activity this month.

The Express report the former Liverpool boss is in talks over a new deal at Selhurst Park but has offers on the table from the Chinese Super League and Saudi Arabia.
Having signed Cenk Tosun on loan, Hodgson made it clear to Palace that he wanted a defender and a striker in this transfer window to strengthen his side.

But after missing out on Kyle Walker-Peters and with little progress made elsewhere, the report claims he is growing increasingly agitated at the lack of signings he was promised and is considering walking away.

 

Blimey.

 

At the moment it's looking increasing likely that Kai Havertz will not join Bayern Munich in the summer.
