dw @Mijn_Bergkamp i gotcha today
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?
It’s not lucky, i think they would have been better off using the Kane money for a rebuild
Oooh what if Kane leaves on a free next summer
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.
Glad Kane is staying. He stayed this season and Spuds did fck all. They will have to stay with their shitty defense. The only way spurs improve is by selling Kane and spending that money wisely on good defenders.
I’m sure there is a photo with mbappe wearing a arsenal shirt out there somewhere.
Imagine…
Just need 42 spare a year for his wages…haha
Seeing the PSG fans have to go through “will Mbappe leave?” every single season, I’d rather not.
@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
I have enough reporters on my plate to repost; how bout you do it :) Gotta all post to keep this place active
@Astrealix I’m on mastodon, so can’t post directly to lemmy, only reply. Sorry 🤐
Might want to make a lemmy account then ahha
@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.
Rumours that Sheikh Jassim has won the United bid. Ngl, im slightly worried.
Would PSG sell Mbappe to their sister club United?
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.
Mbappe has to want to go tbf lol. I’m more worried about the integrity of the league…
They’ll still have to go through a transition period that’s how I see it
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
Who’s BNC?
Brooke Norton-Cuffy maybe?
Ah, makes sense.
Cheers.

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.
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…
@TinPotRadioShow @Astrealix I’d say camavinga or tchouameini - but like the thinking.
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
@TinPotRadioShow though it would probably be appealing to mbappe to play with cama and tchouameini…sad
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.
@TinPotRadioShow agreed but I like your thinking of trying to get some of their players as a result…like when we got ozil when they bought bale
Let’s will it into existence
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.
Soccer Aid is great and Chunkz went on to balance out the rest of the wrold having Lee Mack up front.
Napoli apparently want Holding and Balogun, charge them 55m combined and take it imo haha
Both of them and we top up 30 mil for Osimhen sounds like a deal
This sub would be quite disappointed by Osimhen.
Honestly would make sense for both of them, which is why I can’t see it happening.
Pretty much
How long is the r/gunners protest?
12-14th

Why tf are there international games rn?Fifa are terrible I swear
Just putting it out there. Would Mbappe fit in Arsenal?
@frapples1 @Astrealix No, would distrupt everything good about what Edu and Mikel are building
hard disagree. with mbappe on the left, teams wouldn’t be able to double mark saka on the right. and with odegaard feeding them both…
i love what martinelli brings, but mbappe is two tiers above him as a player
fair enough, but tracking back is probably like the one area where Martinelli is better than Mbappe. in every other area (pace, dribbling at pace, finishing, decision-making) Mbappe is world class, if not best in the world.
in the end we’re disagreeing over something that will probably never happen, but there’s no way Edu/Arteta would say no to Mbappe joining the club if it were realistically possible.
@thatdosbox @kuijun Yep, that’s exactly it. We’re building a TEAM not importing superstars.
It would blow the wages structure apart as well.
Yes.
Unfortunately it won’t happen.
Nah Mitrovic would be better, can’t imagine Mbappe happy getting benched by Eddie
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
