Spockydog Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Plenty of players have already gone. And not all of them are 35 or 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Probably not, but if money was a minor concern for Mbappe, he would be more open to a move to Real instead of squeezing another 90m (writing this feels kinda ridiculous) out of his contract. I mean, he has already earnt stupid money he will in all likelihood never be able to blow. There's only that many Maserattis you can buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's stupid money and there's earning 700m€ for a one year contract that would allow him to fill in the gap until he can move to Real Madrid.

Consigliere Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I don't really get why that Saudi club are offering PSG a world record fee. PSG are so desperate to force Mbappe into accepting a transfer that they've excluded him from their preseason and are threatening to bench him for a season. Half (or less) of that amount could've been enough for PSG to accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Sabitzer to Dortmund. Rumored fee 15-20m € range. Apparently fair value, however kinda feels weird and unfair that Bayern will get the fee they paid to Leipzig back in full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncalagonTheBlack Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Matip and Gomez together are a liability. We will leak a lot of goals if those two have to play in case Konate/VVD get injured . Surely Klopp is aware of this and we buy a better quality defender than those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Remember Trevor Francis as the guy with the absolute fastest speed across the ground who could also make lateral cuts with the ball fluently in order to create new angles. And he did it on some of the worst pitches you can imagine, gouged up and soggy as sin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spockydog Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Tee hee... British billionaire Joe Lewis charged in the US with insider trading Quote Joe Lewis, the billionaire real estate investor and owner of Tottenham Hotspur football club, has been charged over multiple alleged instances of insider trading, US prosecutors said on Tuesday. The 86-year-old, who is one of Britain’s richest men, is accused of tipping off employees, associates, friends and romantic interests with non-public information about companies in which he had invested, and lending some of them hundreds of thousands of dollars to trade on the knowledge. He has been charged with 19 counts, including securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud and make false statements. I wonder who else he is accused of sharing illegal information with. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youth team football is pretty low level and probably similar in level to League 2 (division 4) but with less of the physicality. United's youth team is not even top 4 in the country. A lot of those youth players will probably end up spending their careers in the 3rd and 4th divisions. Only a very few will end up good enough to play at a higher level.
