I forgot he had it! No disrespect to Ferland. Assuming he comes, who plays on the right of our front three?
Looks like it'll be #19 for Mbappe for his first season with us... But honestly, I would love for Burger King to just be honest with himself and hand over the iconic # 7. When Modric leaves, he can fight for the # 10 he likes if he's even still with us by then. lol
I just remembered, Luka had the #19 for his first seasons with us. Maybe he'll decide to hand over his # 10 to Hazard so that Hazard can hand over the number 7 to Kylian. He knows he's at the tail end of his career. I wonder how these discussions happen in the dressing room or if they do at all. lol
After the first couple of games, I have to admit I’d like to see Mbappe there to start, would hate for Vini to lose the momentum he has, although it has all come from the bench so far. Signing him is such a game changer and gives us options we otherwise wouldn’t have, that’s for sure. Will be interesting to see what Carlo has in mind!

Mbappe and Vini interchanging on as left and right forwards with Benzema floating around them I'm assuming.
Him taking the #5 as an ode to Zidane would have me feeling all sorts of things. and spending all sorts of $$$
Every second of PSG squirming is glorious. They've tried bullying the sport. Everyone is a gangster until a real gangster enters the room. Perez has warranted skepticism after the last few windows, but he's come into this like an old gun-slinger, teaching these new boys a lesson in power play.
I think it's a couple of things that makes things more palatable. Had he come on a free, his wages would likely be substantially higher, maybe 5-10 million a year more. Even if it was 5, that's likely net so it would cost the club 10 million a year more. Over the time he'd be here, that adds up. His higher wages would likely exert pressure on other wages in the club. There won't be a signing bonus, which I saw bandied about as being around 40 million a year (no idea if that would be accurate). So taking that all into consideration, paying a large transfer fee now might not actually be that much more expensive than signing him on a free in the long run (obviously depending on the wages/bonus). Given that, it's worth it to minimize risk of so etching happening over the next year.
I’ve read 185 so it seems for certain we upped the bid. Waiting game now to see but I don’t we got more than that all things considered.
We upped the bid for sure, it seems. We should have just left it as is. I guess we're basically saying it's this or nothing. I would be surprised if PSG doesn't take this offer right now. Mbappé has shown that he will NOT renew with them no matter what. It's over, release the turtle already!!! Is he Donatello? Leonardo? Michael? Raf? LOL

Don't be surprised if it's that rat Leonardo leaking all this; I don't think Florentino considers him the point of contact for negotiations.
