I thought the poll was going to be about banning nonsense twitter post in the transfer thread. I'm well up for that.
That would be a tall task for moderators. It is, what it is. We can just ignore the tic tac and "crucial weeks/days ahead" for another few days. I just laugh at them.
Nah, I don't need to walk back any nonsense on September 1st. I bet those copy/pasta journos will though.
I like the Twitter posts. If I see one, I'll automatically mock them/the poster. They get angry. I love it.
This poll would have been much more interesting as "Will Mbappe come Summer 2024 or earlier", since that is what Perez has long said, what Mbappe has contractually agreed to stay at PSG, and what the main disagreement among fans here is. If Mbappe plays us and extends, I admit I was fooled. But I want everyone insisting that Mbappe is playing us for an extension now to draw their line in the proverbial sand.
Like @Shay Z pointed out, it has long been called the "Transfer, RUMORS and LIES" thread. If you don't like it, too bad, that's what it is and what it has been for a long damn time, as you well know Mr. 2005 join date.
The rumours and lies, no probelm. But the tweets and fake news posting are over repetetive and are borderline spamming. That's my problem.
We do not have to give them any attention though. We all understand the player is not coming by now (mixed signals be damned), but it's only a bother if you engage in it.
I don't click or read those type of articles. But one would have to be blind like Stevie Wonder to not be bombarded with them in the transfer thread when that's not the type of news or rumours one is looking for. That's why I'm one of the advocates that Mbappayed get his own garbage rumour thread.
I voted "oui", but I will change my mind when I read the next tweet. I have been that way since 2022.
Earlier this summer I thought there was like a 55% chance a deal would get done based on PSG’s very public nervous breakdown and what they were feeding their mouthpieces. Now after Neymar was sold and PSG’s gone quiet/leaked rumors of a compromise to save face, I think it’s a 5% chance for this summer. I think it’s a 45% chance for next summer. So yes, silly me, I’m sitting on the fence and saying it’s 50/50.
I bet everybody wishes it were true that Mbappe comes here, but I'm being a pessimist. I was so optimistic in summer 2022 (I even embarrassingly had an avatar of him in our shirt). Mbappe made me (along with other hopefuls) feel utterly betrayed. I became completely disillusioned. It's good to see some people can forgive and be hopeful. Unfortunately, I am now forever a "Mbappe-saga cynic". I refuse to believe he'll ever play for Real Madrid unless he is signed and delivered as a Madrid player and playing for Real Madrid on the pitch. Everything else is hogwash, and it pains me to see my favorite club being used by that jerk. Most of us yearn for the sweet release achieved by one of these two: Confirmation from the club (or the president) that Kylian Mbappe will never play for Real Madrid, and we have moved onto other targets for good [like Haaland]. Kylian Mbappe has officially agreed to join Real Madrid and he has put pen to paper in a binding contract to play at the Bernabeu. Unfortunately, neither of those two will happen for the next 1-2 yrs, if not longer. We have waited more than 5 years, and it may take even longer. I like to forget about the whole thing, but it always resurfaces and messes with our transfer plans and projected future of the club.
