Should have wrapped up the deal already, 80 mil due a player that’s going to be in your service for next decade is not a bad investment, nor we gotta enter a bidding war with PSG. Only way we win is if Tchouameni flat out says he doesn’t want PSG at all cost.
I can see PSG entering, but ultimately, I think they will just be used as leverage to drive up the price for us. If I were Monaco, I would want to ship him out of the country - why keep strengthening PSG? Also read (could be totally fake) Monaco is displeased they didn't get their sell-on clause on Mbappe last summer or an extension clause this summer (because he didn't technically "extend" according to the terms of their deal). At some point though, PSG will likely just become the Bayern of Ligue 1 where the other teams stop worrying about strengthening them and just resign themselves to it and fight for second.
Agree, and we know that IF PSG want someone desperately enough, they have more than the kitchen sink to throw at a player (and his family).

Not to belabour this ......well when you put it that way it makes sense but, what makes you so sure CRISTIANO RONALDO will be gleeful to rotate, how can you be so sure Lewa will demand a 3 year contract, if there is one thing you should be sure of is that we don't ever really know, case in point, Kylian, Yup Ron played with Benz before alright, where Benz supposedly took a back seat, how will that work, Ron will play for Benz?, with Manure he plays, no ifs or buts, i don't think he sees himself as a backup to anyone even at his current age with his best days well behind him Even if he came on a free won't we have to pay him a signing on fee or something, how much will that be?, Lewa can also give us 15 goals, i'm not so sure about your point of view on this
If Monaco suspects Tchouameni will change his mind so easily, they are not gonna settle for 80 ME anyways. Will get 100 ME or whatever from PSG by driving up the price. We were only gonna get him if he really wants to join RM. PSG was always there to offer the most money to everyone involved.
Liverpool out of the race, but PSG now doing us tourbles , the 99% deal is now 60-70% beacuse of the KM and PSG , when does the FFP will say something?
Shot ourselves in the foot with the Super League. Nasser being president of ECA and buddy-buddy with Ceferin mean this will all fly.
Tchouameni is only 22, maybe a 3 (or 4) year deal with PSG then? And then, he can pursue his move to his dream club afterwards ...sorry I just had to, couldn't resist.
Honestly at this point I don't see why we keep entering bidding wars with PSG. The moment we see they are pursuing in the same player, drop the interest. Go for Tonali instead of Tchouameni. He will never play in his natural position because Vinicius got the left wing locked. But the natural position is not rigid for this generation of supporting forwards who float behind the main striker; this is why I think its not a problem that Rafael Leao mainly plays on the left too. And why Rodrygo can make a home on the right wing.
I don't see Dortmund selling this summer, with Haaland leaving. He will be on the market next season, and I don't think we should wait for him and put our eggs in that specific basket...
Give Jovic to RBL which he scored 27 goals (last season before he purchased) in the Bundes league, plus money for Nkunku
Because we don't move out of anyone's way. We go for players that we need and want. You seriously think moving aside for PSG so that they can mess with our transfers out of pettiness is a good thing for us? I see people mentioning Ronaldo. No. That book is closed. I am a big fan of Ronaldo, but that is in the past. No way in hell are we getting that salary on our books now. It's time to look at youth. I 'd rather Rodrygo get the chance to string up a couple of starts, if we can't find a suitable solution. I am sure Rodrygo will be fired up because Mbappe not coming means he still has a chance to break through like Vini did. But what do we do for his rotation? Asensio is leaving, right? Hazard is again making noise about trying to make a difference this year. Words mean nothing, but I hope he can play to at least 80% of his capabilities. But not on the left wing, that's Vini's position right now. What do you guys think? Could we rotate him a bit with Rodrygo on the right? Is Hazard someone that can play on the right at all?
Maybe Naseer and Macron making threats to tchouameni he wont be called up to the world cup as in qatar in order for him to sign for psg. You never know what these 3 twats can do mbappe,naseer and macron
I always think it's slightly different when it comes to, expected, goal scoring wingers. Rarely do you have a player playing on the same wing as his dominant foot and scoring goals. The players usually doing that have more of a focus on wing play and putting in crosses (Lucas, Dembele, etc.). If Rodrygo is going to succeed there, he needs to be coached into staying narrow, leave the wing play to the full backs and concentrate on making runs behind the defence. Big problem is I've hardly seen any coach actually coach this. I think back to Bale, after he's aged and lost his pace, playing on the right wing, cutting back and putting in crosses. Frustrated the hell out of me.
I wouldn't be surprised. Some real shady and desperate shit went down with Mbappé. If he stays the whole 3 years, he's going to be 26 and (assuming he doesn't have Ronaldo-like longevity) would have spent most of his prime in the Uber Eats league. Damnit, I'm speaking about Mbappé again. One last thing. Maybe, he was given €150m sign on bonus, big salary etc. with the promise he can leave next season for €150m to Madrid.
I just hope the super league can be formed its the only way to get away from greedy uefa and clubs like psg,city and newcastle
