Their entire interest is a game with FFP and their attempts to re-sign Mbappe. Ndombele and Mbappe are reportedly friends and even on his absurd wages he’d still be a cheaper option in their midfield. They’re trying to ensure they can offer him more than Real Madrid.Would be handy if the loan is completed before the close of the window
PSG have to raise cash? PSG?
It’s a tricky and somewhat shady deal, and therefore one in which having Paratici being the guy on the phone rather than Levy or Hitchen is a big plus.
But we just have to do whatever the final offer is. The situation can only improve with him out the door, even if he’s back in July.
So will most fans who think they've paid for either of their wages !
they are going to stay up... and it's only going to get worse from there... we should spend big now, before Newcastle start buying the league. We have a window to win a trophy now.
Standard MO of these doping projects. Spend big on names. Players with both the name and current form aren't going to come, they have better opportunities. You have to spend big on the names to prove you're serious about competing and willing to pay ridiculous wages.
We got stitched up like dickheads. Supposedly the hottest midfielder in Europe. We gave him a fat contract and he turned into a fat sack of shit.
Without doubt our most disappointing signing ever.

Between them, I think they've done about as much as Josh Onomah did under Poch. Sure they've taken a few more quid in wages, but peak Onomah was worth it.
Trippier and Chris Wood?
I mean, there's already 2 financially doped clubs bossing English football. I'd say the window has been well closed and we're hoping to sneak in through a cat door or possibly squeezing down a chimney.
Pretty disappointing, ya. Just hasn't delivered... Occasional glimpses....
Citeh started with Craig Bellamy, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Wayne Bridge and Shay Given.
So.
Yeah, thats how these things begin.
Yes, but we can still get our head through that cat door in the next year or so.
I'd like your help please transfer junkies.
I'm working on the translation of the latest version of the basketball version of Football Manager.
There's this message that literally reads as "Team XXX have rudely rejected your offer for the transfer of..."
What's the typical expression that journos use when Team XXX tells Team YYY to fuck off, like when Levy makes his initial derisory offer? I know "rudely rejected" sounds crap bu I can't think of the normal way of saying it

Well they actually started with Robinho, which was to your point.
Seems to me that Newcastle is openly hedging their bets on whether they’ll be stuck in the Championship next year, which is wise.
A six month loan for Dele is a nothingburger either way
Dele is on 180K A WEEK?! This just fucks me off so much. What a twat. What a massive, massive twat.
Eh. I'm skeptical Newcastle will ever get the lift, honestly. Every player they'll be in for will also have offers from Chelsea and City. Who the fuck wants to go to Newcastle?
So I think we'll always have the cat door's chance of a trophy. The biggest threat to us with Newcastle is cutting off our top 4 chances by making it impossible for us to access the next tier of players as they take our spot in the LFC/United/Woolwich recruitment competition.
Big wages don't seem to work at this club do they? Perhaps they should pay the big wages based on performance....
I’ve no real problem with levy
It’s that soulless prick Lewis I can’t abide
Got assume conte knows the Italian league to demand who he wants from there
But that's exactly what will happen... Top 4 will become like it was in the naughties... this time it'll be Chelsea, City, Newcastle and probably Liverpool... or Man U if they get their act together - if they manage to find someone who can channel the money they're spending into good football that is.
Newcastle will find a way to win everything. They have the money of a country behind them. I heard a rumour on the radio that they will pay for a private jet to ferry players up and down from London, so players can hang out in the capitol city when they want to... (rumour - totally unconfirmed - but they could afford it).
