Was he going to pay to play every time he walked into the Bernabeu?
Has Mbappé become the poster boy for footballs greed and excess?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Reportedly Mbappé's current deal pays him like 300 millions euros over 2 years. Messi got 500 millions over 4
It is the clear sign of a VILLAIN to reject Real Madrid. He's the worst person in history!
If he wouldn't be a local lad from Paris things would be different. It's not the worst place or team to leave from? Although Real came calling, we never know, not everyone had become a serious GOAT in Real Madrid.
You’re just being silly now, and seem to have taken the discussion topic personally which is super weird.
Thing is you can see clear progression in Haalands career building club by club to where he is now, but Mbappés move to Paris from Monaco (at the time) seemed a sideways step with the key factor being money. Again when his contract was up for renewal he could have moved to Madrid which is undoubtedly a few levels higher than Ligue Un, but ultimately chose to stay in Paris and boost his bank balance.
Now he is linked anywhere with a sudden influx of wealth ( not saying that’s his fault) and we have a forum full of people twerking for oil owners on the basis they will buy him for United. Is this simply a question of cash and why is he seemingly unwilling to test himself at a higher level when we saw in the WC what he’s capable of?
No and yes, world cup golden boot winner does command a certain price and salary.
You answered your own question. Nobody would bat an eyelid if he stayed his entire career at Monaco but he didn’t, and his move seemed to be a sideways step rather than a career progression.
How are you complaining about unnecessary threads bro
I think the journalists are just doing the rounds here. Sky sports said the Qatar investors would be willing to put money into the team which is somewhat common sense. Journalist can speculate this information which sky have stated with no source and there's a narrative that the club would pursue the most valuable player on the market at present time. Nonsense imo.
Are you obligated to comment on threads you don’t care for? No, Didn’t think so…..
How about I make a thread about you?
That’d be unnecessary.
Yes?
Monaco isn’t his home city… Paris is!
But he started his career at Monaco, so by definition not a one club player. Don’t really care where he was born, it’s irrelevant to your question!
Still no.
He’s playing for his hometown club alongside some of best players in the world and getting paid a fortune. Best player in the world and already a WC winner with another runners up medal bagging a nice little hat-trick in the final, already has 250+ goals and all at the grand old age of 24. I do expect him to move on within a few years but he’s living the dream.
None of this matters until he dares play against Jagielka at Stoke City (the betXY stadium) a rainy Wednesday night… Until then he is just playing meaningless football against Bayern and Argentina.

We can't afford him anyway, not with our own clean money.
To assess whether he is a mercenary, he would have to be at a club where he felt a great attachment earning 10 million and see what he would do if someone offered him 15, for example.
The amounts(with unofficial,if any) that Mbappe and Haaland earn make it difficult to value. It is a contract too good.
For his talent, yes, I think he deserves a top salary, one of the highest, whatever is the league where he will play.
For motivation I think he seems one of the most demanding PSG players, more concerned about a competitive squad.

Just the 3/4 games a season then
As opposed to the volunteer work he'd be doing at Madrid
Can Madrid match his wages at PSG?
Stoke City. Bet365 Stadium (still known locally as the Brittania)
Nice cliche but Stoke would wipe the floor with all but a handful of the teams in Ligue Un. Games against Bayern and Argentina are largely meaningless when you lose them both!
Do we need one?
You thin Haaland hasn’t gone to City partially for the cash?
Indeed
PSG is probably cheating on their wage books like City, PSG real revenue isn't big enough to pay Mbappe 1 million € a week, there is no way.
Thing is that with Al-Khelaifi in the UEFA committee they will never get caught.
If you're good at something, why do it for free?
He's not robbing a bank or scamming people, he's playing football. If someone wants to pay him 500k why would he settle for less?
Some of you would feck your employee off for a 20% raise somewhere, let alone refusing 500k / week in the name of "Oh I had enough I'm not that greedy"
Yeah fecking right

Did Mbappe really mention Manchester United in his most recent Instagram post.
When it's translated it mentions Manchester United but could be Instagram translation being weird.

Neither of those games were lost because of him, he could have a 2nd WC trophy if Lloris knew how to save penalties or his teammate scored their penalty.
According to FIFA rules, he actually didn't even lose the game against Argentina. You can't lose a draw.
Come think of it, its a crazy deal. Messi (500m over 4 years) and Ronaldo (200m per year as his last fat pay cheque, but mostly due to his commercial value) kind of earns that amount after years and years of building up their career, winning multiple ballon d'ors and scoring multiple 40-60+ goals for many years.
Mbappe hasn't even won a single Ballon D'or or an important club trophy yet, he is already on similar payroll.
He hasnt been linked to any of those clubs except by shit sources, there has been rumors linking him to every big/rich club but we all know none of them are true. You just picked the clubs that fit your narratives. The only club who ever approached PSG has obviously been Madrid, and the only club he's ever talked about is Liverpool, 2 clubs that dont have owners that belong to the category you are referring to.
He was born in Paris, won about 90 trophies and has won a World cup. Hardly like he's Carlos Tevez going to West Ham because his agent tells him to.
He's the best player in the world and will be for some time coming.
True, IMO he is two steps ahead of everyone else.
Yeah he does have great pace, we all know that.
Mbappe really seems to bother a lot of people on here. Serious chip on their shoulders regarding him.
How dare a player stay at a top club in his home country, making a lot of money, doing well on an individual level, performing for his national team, when he could be at Real Madrid or in the PL.

Linked by who though ? You cannot just run away with any rumor you read on the internet
