I doubt you'll find many Leipzig fans who will agree with you on that one.
Yan Diomande | signs for Madrid 120m

His ball control looks pretty rough. He is still very very raw.
He reminds me a bit of how erratic and clumsy Vini was when he first arrived.
If it's a Mourinho signing, then it's worth having a bit of faith. A lot of people thought Modric was a terrible signing.

As a Madrid fan why do you say that?
Why has this thread blown up? Were we ever in for the player?
Nope. It's blown up cause Madrid are signing him.
I suspect Mourinho will use him as a impact sub.

Will be a massive player that will harmonize much better with Mbappé than Vini
I think he will be great and very glad he is not going to Liverpool.
He was a terrible signing until Mourinho left after playing him out of position to facilitate the average workhorse Khedira. So you may be right, but Mourinho being there is not an ideal indicator.
It's summer, there's not much going on transfer wise for us right now, people are bored.
Thought he looked uncomfortable on the left at the World Cup, and much better on the right.
I don't think the general diagnostic after the last two underwhelming RM seasons was "they need to spent over 100m on a 19-year-old winger." Especially when you already have multiple expensive youngsters to bring into the team.
RM's 'unconventional' approach to squad building makes it easier to pull off these kinds of dubious transfers, and there's been enough overpriced young flops to be wary. I mean just last season they blew 60m on Mastantuono.
Oh yeah, forgot about him. How’s he getting on?
Diabolically.
PSG behaving like this is especially rich, same club who spent 95m on Kolo-Muani mind
And ask 170m for their bench player
I would've thought the back to back Champions League crowns would've done away with their inferiority complex but evidently not
Imagine being this whiny about transfer inflation and then leaking to journos that you want 170m euro for Bradley Barcola, who you bought three years ago for 45m euro and doesn't start big games for you.
Don’t Madrid already have Vinni and Mbappe that desperately want to play the left attacking position? Doesn’t this guy prefer there too?
Yeah same. But I don't think it's totally impossible if he is pushed out wide again this season.
And I cannot see how he gets in central position if Rodri, Valverde, Bellingham are all fit.
He has played more as a right winger. With clearly better stats in there. Many people thinks he's LW because he mostly played that position in national team. But RW is his preferred position.
I think it's a bad move for his development at this point, but I can't blame him for making the decision. Even if it doesn't work out, Real will get rid quick enough that he'll have time to recover. It's just a lot of pressure for a talent still so raw.
I want him but its understandable how someone with his profile wants to play under Jose. Jose is a dickhead but can form a very close bond with his players. Yan has been through a lot. I hope to see him in United shirt one day, hes a fan of United.
There has been a serious proliferation of fake quotes attributed to clubs and people that makes Twitter a totally unsafe source for anything.
There is zero evidence that the latest quotes are real. All they’ve released is a statement withdrawing their interest.
So L'Equipe are reporting and publishing fake quotes about PSG of all clubs for some reason?

They would get sued or threatened if that were actually the case I suspect

Silly, silly money. Why go for this guy when they are stacked in the those positions and would do well to add a little extra and get a real superstar with a proven track record who'd suit them like Haaland. This is a project.
Haaland's not making his move until next year
The fee is going north of 130. I think Real are getting their pants pulled down tbh. This is what happens when you go around bragging you have a 150 mil to spend on a marquee player.
This kind of justifies the approach the club has had this summer, you'll be taken to the cleaners if you brag about your 'warchest' these days
He could be a Vini replacement long-term
Still not done
No one wants this deal to collapse as much as Plettenberg
I don't think he does, more that he is proving a point to Fabrizio who said the deal was done with a "here we go"
Yeah that was the posters point
You mean a manager that is more than 10 years past his sell by date?
Jose has a big following in Africa, so it’s not surprising that some of these new generation African players want to play for him.
Florian Petty-berg
Nah.
Nusa has huge potential but his output is far too low and too inconsistent.
He also didnt develop much (or maybe at all) in the past 2 years.
