    But they did keep their promise, they signed Ekitike. So they signed a new striker, Okay they never got shot of Neymar, but that was because Eddie had more ****ing sense when he was offered one of him or Pogba allegedly* <whistle>

    Hmm, but is this Julien Laurens a reliable source? There's not a single direct quote from Mbappe in there. It's all hearsay, with the club denying it.

    Might be no different to some useless rag saying Bruno wants to leave us, just so they can print a headline.

    The answer to that question lies in the 3 letters in the link that come after www.

    Maybe. Maybe not. However it wouldn’t surprise me.

    Lol Mbappe's made his bed now lie in it. Suggested on approximately £1,000,000.00 PER WEEK with the £100,000,000.00 signing on bonus and he's unhappy? He's only signed for another 2.5 years - shut up and get on with it leave on a free in a few years and pocket another few hundered million quid for playing footy...

    Hugo Ekitike - lad must be cursing his agent round about now - he's managed seven appearances (out of 15 games) thus far averaging out at 20mins a run out. What a twat!

    He wasn't signed for the now he's just a prospect and he supported PSG so I'm sure he's happy enough right now.

    Can't see how he's going to prove himself while on loan if he's only getting 20 mins in 50% of games. Especially at a time in his development where he needs to be playing regularly. Would have been better off buying him and loaning him back to Stade Reims for the year.

    Keep this rate up and he'll play about 500 mins this year.

    He's training with top players everyday ... Anderson is much the same age he'll get better but he's not starting.

    I think it's fair fair say hes got psg and Paris in his blood

    “All the ingredients are there, so it’s a logical choice for me to be here. Finally, I myself have family in the Paris region, and I have always followed Paris Saint-Germain. All this made my desire to join this club very natural. It’s the right choice for me to be here!”

    Did he say that before playing approximately 15-20% of the time available to him? Yes he will be in and out the team but Anderson has had more mins, playing less games with less available games to boot.

    Not grumbling as we are doing exceptionally well and I'd rather give Anderson the mins personally, also I'm not sure how he'd have fitted in with our squad but just think the lad has been given bad advise by his agent who looked for a payday rather than his clients best interests.

    Isn't that how most of these agents operate anyway?

    I think like all walks of life you'll have people who are looking out for the clients interests and others who look out for themselves. Look at Haarland - he could gone from Molde to the Premiership straight away but he went to Salzberg then could have gone to any club of his choice but went to Dortmund both the right moves at the right times - sure they could have got more money at both opportunities but he could and probably would have ended up playing reserve football at a big team for a few years and not getting the experience needed to be the freakish goal machine he is now.

    **** Ekitike. That is all.

    Haaland is interesting - but not unique. Remember if he is to do as well as CR7, he needs to score 40-odd goals per season, every season, until he’s 38. So teams have always benefitted from impossibly good players, yet life goes on and the don’t win everything. Sum of the parts and all that. I’m excited to see what happens when we get Isak firing.

    He said that after moving to the club and also went on to say he believed that he would develop there faster.. He said he was also saw newcastle as a great club.

    If you're playing and training with top players every day you'll get better.

    Clubs don't sign youth players to just throw them in for Mbappe from day 1.

    Newcastle moved on and he chose elsewhere so good luck to Newcastle and him..... That's how it goes it doesn't mean either needs to be bitter.

    You know what. When’s it’s all said and done I agree.

    In my opinion he would have been better coming to us but that’s just my opinion.

    Ultimately the proof will be in the pudding but at that time we needed a striker.

    We got one. Isak looks a great player. So let’s just sit back and let the show commence.
