I'd love them to do it just to prove a point. Mbappe has taken them for a ride so why shouldn't they call his bluff.
I think he's doing that anyway. He's obviously decided PSG isn't where he wants to be but he's sticking around to pick up the loyalty bonus. That's 2 years he's wasted to get 8-9 figure sums from PSG considering he did the same last summer. The next time I hear a sycophantic journalist say he's "clever and not interested in money" I'll laugh.
Prove what point? What bluff? Now players are not only supposed to not push for transfers (which Mbappé did in 2021 and PSG refused despite a 180M€ offer from RM), they should also indefinitely extend their contracts to their current clubs until those clubs themselves see fit?
Can you elaborate on what's the issue is supposed to be in any of what you've just stated? "Player and club sign a contract. Player intends to honor the terms of said contract." really doesn't seem this awful.
That’s interesting. If he only has 2 choice:
He's refusing to be sold. He's spent the last 2-3 seasons looking at the exit and disrupting them constantly and now hes decided he's staying another year so this will just drag on. They're right to want to rip this bandage off.
He's pretty consistently gone for money so I can definitely see him going to SA.
What is the issue with refusing to be sold? Why are PSG refusing to keep him?
He going to leave. If he wants to leave, why not leave now?
So he can pocket a €100M signing on fee that would have instead gone to PSG? Even for billionaires that's a big number.
I know that's his reason but that's no good for PSG. They've let him take them for a ride imo. It's about time they start to grow a backbone.
That's what happened with PSG. Jonathan Wilson said signing Messi made PSG less likely to win the champions league and he turned out to be right. They basically played with only 7 outfield players defending because Mbappe and Messi are too lazy/old and Neymar doesn't really bother either.
Oh so it was normal for Mbappé to push for a transfer in 2021 but it's not normal for PSG to do the same thing now?
But PSG should not make Mbappe look like he's disrupting things. It's business, both parties have treated it like business, PSG can't come and start acting like Mbappe is a mercenary now when it doesn't suit them anymore.
So you mean football needs a situation with Mbappé not being bothered for honoring his contract so Kane doesn't have to honor his? How does it make sense, his situation is the opposit.
He's threatened to leave the club and the club have previously priced him out of a move. Tables have turned in this case. The club offered him the loyalty bonus, he accepted and signed. He plans to collect it next season after being loyal to PSG by staying. He's keeping to his end of the contract. All Mbappe essentially did was insinuate that he wouldn't be staying after next season. We've seen clubs tell player during a season that they are going to be sold or their contracts aren't going to be renewed. Yet we expect those players to honor their contract despite feeling poorly about it. Here PSG have had the tables turned on them and they can't seem to accept it without venting to every media outlet.
PSG are terrified that he is running down his contract and will leave for free next year. What they should be pissed at is their own idiotic management, but spoiled billionaires rarely blame themselves. Mbappe is quite a character, of course but he has no obligation to not milk them
They’re rich enough to take the hit. Mbappe’s non transfer is also costing them 150m minimum. Besides if Mbappe is actually willing to have a season of his career written off he has his priorities terrible misplaced. Their stand makes complete sense and hopefully Mbappe puts his career first by trying to get a move away this summer.
They’re a poorly run club no doubt however he’d be a complete wanker to prioritise a fee payment the following season over football this coming one.
I really don't know. Mbappe already "dreams" of playing for Real. What kind of an influence would be have on the rest of the team? I like the EtH one for all all for one spirit which has been built.
PSG didn't win anything worthwhile with him + Messi and Neymar. What does that tell you?
So, that was Ronaldo's debut season at Madrid and outside scoring, his standout season there. After that season, he completed between 2 and 2.5 dribbles until 2015 ( his peak years) which is good but definitely not unreachable. Same for his other stats like assists, chances created etc. On the flipside, this was Mbappe's worst season in a while regardless of his numbers. I don't think it is a fair comparison.
My point is that Ronaldo never played at a level that is unreachable (even if he played at a high level); that is a myth created by his fanboys. I watched Ronaldo since his debut vs Bolton all those years ago and never did I feel that I'm watching someone playing at that mythical level. For most of his peak, I saw a physical specimen that was great on the counters and a goalscoring machine who could score any type of goal.
Or 100% signing an extension.
Totally agree, you would have to build a team around him but we are just getting a strong team built with ETH and we are attractive again for players. Also the fact, Rashford apparently gets quite well along with him and they obsessively like each other posts, maybe agent Rashford should work a bit on it. Just imagining them up front

You are the one who claimed Ronaldo being better goalscorer and Mbappe being better in performance. Now with that performance stats being compared in detail at same age, you are changing the narrative completely in different direction suggesting Mbappe being better goalscorer at CL instead. Whatever suits you, you have already made up your mind in Ronaldo long ago, he just isn’t good enough in your eyes regardless of any stats/truth/opinions being presented to you.
The outspoken Bernd Schuster (who was 26 or 27) didn't play a whole year (1986/87) at FC Barca after he got really mad for being subbed out of the C1 final against the Steaua Bucarest by Venables and going back directly to the hotel. Club president Nunez vowed Schuster would never play again for the club, the player said he was happy just seeing out his last two remaining years without accepting transfer offers. It all went to labor court.
It's accounting you don't understand, not Fair Play.
well, I never was good at maths. but the point I was making is that I don't believe it's the fair Play, it's the f@cking owners
