Sarr and Kouyate backing him as well. Against their Muslim beliefs apparently? I’d have thought they’d be all on board with the anti discriminatory nature of the idea?

I actually have no problem with his choice. He is given up his match bonuses etc for that.

I’d never take a job where my opinion on who my boss would be held any weight.

Mbappe might as well go out and experience the big leagues and play in Spain, England etc then come back. PSG will still be there, with all their money and galatico signings whenever he wants to come back

No housework for you then.

Embarassing on PSG's behalf

Mbappe is not a serious footballer.

They're doing the same with him as Barca supposedly did with with Messi, giving him all the money and letting him make decisions on signings. Hopefully they end up in a financial mess as well.

Where's @AjaxDeSuperYids with his conspiracy theories about Mbappe defiantly going Real?

No player could ever be worth that outlay.

Such sickening figures to see, even in a sport players already earn disgraceful amounts.

Crazy that he’s been handed a three year deal and given such a huge singing on fee for it as well.

Can’t really be worth €100m a season excluding his extortionate salary on top.

They could have replaced him. Maybe not like for like but for same amount they could have signed anyone else they wanted on the planet.

That can’t be right surely? What manager is going to come in and accept their own player making transfer decisions?

Offer people enough money and anything can happen

I wonder about Pochettino. Surely he must be looking to get out of that clown house.

Mbappe is already looking for a new coach according to French journalists. They want Zidane, but I wonder if he might have an eye on the France job after the world cup.

This is great news for everyone else, doing what isn't working for them but more so.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Zidane is Marseille, so that would be a Terry Neill/George Graham level stupidness all round

Dortmund are looking for a new manager.

Are psg trying to make him chuck it in rather than sack him and pay him off.

I've just clicked. Ffp is no more. The new spending rules don't come in until the 2023/24 season (based on the season before). So PSG giving mbappe a €150m signing on fee won't count.
