Must be a horrible club to be involved with tbh. Mbappe with all his nonsense, Neymar with his nonsense, you know messi prob has a lot of nonsense baggage with him also, then all the other wanna be big boys........must be one of the worst possible clubs to manage, tbf im not sure that lot could be effectively managed....

mikeyp102 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 According to SecretScout, who is normally well informed on youth players, a lot of there academy players are looking to leave as no pathway to first team. Meant to be some good talent there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with that, same as City, is that they hoard young talent on the cheap then sell them on years later for 3-5 times what they paid for, stat padding their budgets so they can bankroll shit like 100m quid for Grealish without shifting any of their relevant first teamers to balance it out. It's all a bit FM isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret scout are about 5 years too late They've been leaking some top talent for years, soumare at Leicester, dembele at lyon, coman at Bayern is the highest profile They actually make a decent FM save as players like the back up keeper are 30+ and earn £150k a week, the squad is rife with bang average old highly paid players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a brilliant academy but zero chance of developing into first team players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 They have a first team and a league where they could give them a chance too Aouchiche getting 15 mins alongside verratti and wijnaldum vs troyes I'm sure he'll be OK but instead they have danilo or ander herrera on £150k a week 30 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Once mbappè leaves they will take a big step backwards. I assume they'll offer insane money to haaland to replace him. Edited February 16, 2022 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 They could lose Di Maria too which at 34 might not sound like a big thing but what they'll lose in the summer is their flexibility with their front line He plays a fair bit for them too, they'll need 2 top attacking players in the summer, I hope Haaland goes elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get annoyed about media recycling any story. Easy way to solve the issue - don't click on stupid articles, or if you do, take them with a handful of salt.

Stevo985 Posted February 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2022 I couldn't believe how boring their game with Real Madrid was the other night. Messi, Mbappe, Di Maria, Neymar, Benzema, Vinicius Jr, Modric, Verratti etc all on the pitch at some point. And it was like watching Burnley vs Brighton Although Verratti was absolutely brilliant to be fair. Best player on the pitch by a mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue he is better than Jorginho, and maybe the best midfielder in the world. But I thought the game was good. Madrid played very well and shut down most threat from PSG. They did what they had to do - often sat deep and put 11 players behind the ball to stop the worlds best team (on paper). I enjoyed the game, but mainly for the skill on show and the tactical strategy shown by Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that kind of attacking talent on display, for both teams, you kind of expect a bit more attacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I thought Mbappe had signed a deal to join Real Madrid in the summer but that must have just been a rumour rather than fact. I hate how players like Mbappe, Haaland and Pogba (or more accurately, their agents) are constantly “unsettled” and looking to move. They’re already on insane wages but want to always push for more. If Pogba was wearing a mask so nobody knew who it was when playing he wouldn’t get another top club. He has about 2 above average performances per year.

Probably wise not to announce it until after either team is out of the tournament. To be fair to Mbappe, fans moan about contracts meaning nothing there days but he has just fulfilled his properly and seems remains professional with his performances.

Its in the agents best financial interests to get his clients a move every couple of years, or an improved contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 According to Le Parisien they've offered M'bappé a 2 year contract worth €50m a season along with a €100m signing bonus. One for the games gone thread too I guess. Jeepers that's a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
