So the BBC says PSG are open to selling Mbappe rather than lose him for a free.

Just how much of a cat among the pigeons is that going to cause and how fucking lucky are Spurs that that basically takes Kane off the market?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's not lucky, i think they would have been better off using the Kane money for a rebuild

[–] throbbingpens 5 points 2 years ago

Oooh what if Kane leaves on a free next summer

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 4 points 2 years ago

We've seen this before with Bale and Modric.

Levy has finally worked out that when teh only thing keeping you competitive is a world class goalscorer then selling them to buy four lesser players at overinflated prices (because everyone knows you're loaded) just fucks you.

He's worked out that Spurs can't convince anyone Kane's level to join them for any amoutn of money so no money is worth him leaving.

I'm sure there is a photo with mbappe wearing a arsenal shirt out there somewhere.

Imagine...

[–] TinPotRadioShow 2 points 2 years ago

Just need 42 spare a year for his wages....haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Seeing the PSG fans have to go through “will Mbappe leave?” every single season, I’d rather not.

You know we're back when the man who was the Sun's chief football writer during the Wenger years and ghost writer of Arry REdknapps Autobiography feels the need to pen an entire article on why he can't understand why Rice wants to join Arsenal.

The Nuggets won! One more for Stan's trophy cabinet please

I'm absolutely bored to tears so I borrowed my friend's ITVx sign on to watch Soccer Aid...and why oh why is Chunkz the striker on the second half?

Surprisingly, Hiddleston and Claflin both put in a shift. Super Jack still looks good.

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 3 points 2 years ago

Soccer Aid is great and Chunkz went on to balance out the rest of the wrold having Lee Mack up front.

I'm trying to post this separately but lemmy is being weird again; Wheatley reports (via @AlexMiller91 on twitter) that Sheffield Wednesday want BNC on loan

Brooke Norton-Cuffy maybe?

Swear that's the name of the protagonist in disney's next Star Wars TV show

Rumours that Sheikh Jassim has won the United bid. Ngl, im slightly worried.

Would PSG sell Mbappe to their sister club United?

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 4 points 2 years ago

Honestly that all the money in the world can't overcome ligue un being a farmers league makes it more likely in my mind that they're switching to a club with a bit more pull.

Hopefully it won't go though but the idea that Rishi will stand up to the people currently supplying rather a lot of gas and not shy of dropping cash into private bank accounts makes me think this one's going through as easily as newcastle.

[–] Astrealix 1 points 2 years ago

Mbappe has to want to go tbf lol. I'm more worried about the integrity of the league...

Hear me out, Mbappe wants to leave, Madrid is only real destination, they need cash, Caicedo's agent wants 15m apparently, OFFER 85M for Camavinga and let Real build their super team with Mbappe......

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@TinPotRadioShow @Astrealix I’d say camavinga or tchouameini - but like the thinking.

[–] TinPotRadioShow 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My dream is Camavinga. As a follower of French football he was always going to be huge and can't believe Madrid got him for 30m euros

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@TinPotRadioShow though it would probably be appealing to mbappe to play with cama and tchouameini…sad

[–] TinPotRadioShow 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Shhh. Aye, itll never happen, I just saw the Mbappe stuff and thought they've wanted him so long perhaps they would consider it haha! But given Mbappe told them months ago I assume Perez has been aware for entire time.

@Astrealix for those who also have a mastodon account, there is an arsenal-specific server if you're looking for other gooners to follow: https://arsenalfc.social/public/local

I'm not sure how the cross-communication works for people with lemmy accounts though

[–] Astrealix 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have enough reporters on my plate to repost; how bout you do it :) Gotta all post to keep this place active

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@Astrealix I'm on mastodon, so can't post directly to lemmy, only reply. Sorry 🤐​

[–] Astrealix 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Might want to make a lemmy account then ahha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

@Astrealix heh, I don't use twitter anymore, so wouldn't be much help, especially as I'm now on this side of the pond and news would break while I'm asleep. Hopefully the mods on r/gunners will help spread awareness of lemmy once the sub re-opens.

[–] Normott 3 points 2 years ago

Why tf are there international games rn?Fifa are terrible I swear

[–] TinPotRadioShow 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Napoli apparently want Holding and Balogun, charge them 55m combined and take it imo haha

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly would make sense for both of them, which is why I can't see it happening.

[–] TinPotRadioShow 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty much

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Both of them and we top up 30 mil for Osimhen sounds like a deal

[–] TinPotRadioShow 2 points 2 years ago

This sub would be quite disappointed by Osimhen.

[–] bil01 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How long is the r/gunners protest?

[–] TinPotRadioShow 2 points 2 years ago
[–] frapples1 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Just putting it out there. Would Mbappe fit in Arsenal?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

@frapples1 @Astrealix No, would distrupt everything good about what Edu and Mikel are building

Yes.

Unfortunately it won't happen.

[–] Naryn 1 points 2 years ago

Nah Mitrovic would be better, can't imagine Mbappe happy getting benched by Eddie

[–] kuijun 1 points 2 years ago

he's the best player in the world atm. no way you would say no to that, even if the fit isn't ideal at first
