    I agree. I think Levy expected a bit of a bidding war between 2-3 teams.
    But united enquired and were like "100m? Nah you're alright" and Bayern have made a half assed bid and that's it. No one else has shown much Interest.

    Weren't some Saudi club supposed to be offering PSG gazillions and a perfect 1 year deal to Mbappe so he could go to Real after?

    My latest rival watch away from Levy, Messi now plays 45 minutes south of my house. The whole place has been going crazy since his arrival and he’s actually lived up to the bill too.

    Not sure if it was for a one year deal, but in any case, I dont think Mbappe wants to go to Saudi Arabia.
    There's even talk of him coming to Chelsea now!
    I'd take him on loan for a year, but if it costs us millions, and its for one season, then heck no!

    I don't think he'd take the risk of a year in the PL. One bad injury and his dream deal at RM is finished.

    Isn’t that the same risk anywhere else?

    Where did you come from?
    Point is, Arsenal will bottle it again! The way they talked about mental block being removed, they are heaping more pressure on themselves before the season starts.

    Barcelona paid for technical reports on referees. At least that’s their defence. It allegedly wasn’t a bribe at all.

    It’s crazy that players still speak of dreams of playing for Barca and Real.

    We tell players we play on top of Westfield. Signed a bloke released by Boavista this week so things are looking up.

    Really? That’s it?! That’s a lazy response with your reference to the weather. If what you class as “nice weather” is the sole reason why people choose where they work, who would be left in Northern Europe?

    Yes, it is mental to still want to play for Barca.

    Mate no one gives a fck, certainly not the players. It's part of the romance.
