Ok. I’m gonna put my wonky specs on.

Is Mbappe out of the question for us.

Serious question and a statement of intent by PIF could get him in?

Could we buy him?

Won't be going anywhere this year, says he want's to stay - PSG "determined to sell before they lose him for nowt but PSG can try and sell him all they like but he'll likely stay and walk away on a free next year, sign for another club for another £100 odd million signing fee...
 
It's a ridiculous suggestion to think that it's A) Possible, or B) remotely sensible to be a deal we'd pursue if it was a realistic option.

Transfer budget smashed, wage structure obliterated. It's a complete non starter for many reasons.

I'd have a better chance of signing for Newcastle than Mbappe tbh

So just how much is Welshie demanding, FFS?
 
We know it'll never happen, can't afford it etc, ffp bollix. But just stop and imagine it for a minute. Mbappe up front!

Mbappe guys, we'd be a hard team to play.
 
Nah... Not for me, the French tart.

Are we talking about the same Kylian Mbappe:

It depends how he's paid, I remember reading that Neymar gets paid most of his money from being a Qatari "tourism ambassador" to make it easier for PSG to get around FFP.

How else could they afford to sign Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos, Wijnaldum, Hakimi and Messi in one transfer window when they already had a monster wage bill(Mbappe,Neymar&Verratti) without some creative accounting like PSG pay a player 100k wages on the club books and the Qatari government pay them another 300k for a made up job title, so the player gets 400k a week and just has to take a few trips over to Qatar a season to take a few holiday pics
 
Feel Ritchie is essentially a player/coach at this stage
Yeah, I assumed that's why he's being retained too. I know Howe speaks highly of his impact in the dressing room and is probably helping him to transition into coaching staff.
