Perhaps another name AW can later add to his list of players he nearly / could have signed?

or not since he clearly didnt make any kind of approach for him

Good, he's garbage. Danny Welbeck of midfield.

Ousmane Dembele has gone AWOL. Not turned up for training and is not answering phone according to Dortmund manager, Peter Bosz.

Little shit has no doubt done exactly what he's been told to do by the crooks at Barcelona. And they had the audacity to complain about PSG! πŸ˜†

He could legitimately struggle at Barcelona. Their fans are terrible and will give him hell if it doesn't go well and he still has tons to learn. Loads and loads. And he's not in Neymar's class, not by a very long shot.

He's super talented but also very raw especially when it comes to his end product. If he was to go to Barcelona for 120m to replace Neymar, as has been speculated, and with the weight of that pressure, things could get pretty ugly for him.

Funny watching Barca struggle to get a replacement in. Liverpool and Dortmund are playing hardball on Coutinho and Dembele respectively.

It could get really bad for him. Has temperament problems on the pitch as well. Loses his shit a lot. Bad move for him at this point, I'm very sure if it.

Talk of Iniesta leaving as well, he might be old but he's still in a completely dfferent class to a 10-a-penny show pony like Coutinho.

Dortmund don't mind selling him as long as Barcelona meet their valuation of 150m.

Quite a decent profit anyway πŸ˜†

Bein Sport reporting that PSG are not signing Mbappe this summer. Seeing as they are owned by essentially the same entity you'd think they'd be pretty reliable!

Exactly, nobody should feel sorry for Barca when it comes to Neymar. They'd happily do a lot worse to sign a player so fuck them.

Paris United saying that Mbappe will be a PSG player by Aug 31st.

I'm convinced he'll go there too. He'd have an excellent shot at winning Champions League with Verratti and Neymar, he'd have league titles secured every season in advance, and he'll still only be 22-23 by the time his contract with them expires. Zero downside to that move. He already knows the French league too so his development won't stall while he tries to adapt to Spain or Premier League.

psg don't have any wide forwards i want. di maria would probably the main high profile casualty of mbappe and neymar coming in, and i don't really want him. the main player i'd take off them is rabiot, but he seems to be a nailed on starter

Who does Danny Rose think he is? Some of these English players have such an inflated sense of their own ability.

Qwiss, his approach is appalling, but it's not unexpected. Spurs players must be feeling cheated looking at the halfwits who play at Arsenal and United and earn 50-100% more than they do. The Spurs model will fall apart if they do not win a major trophy this season. Players need something to believe in - either trophies or money. We have lots of experience in this. Spurs are just a poor man's Arsenal

I am not saying buy ten players, I’d love to see two or three β€” and not players you have to Google and say, β€˜Who’s that?’ I mean well-known players.

I am reaching my peak and have probably only got one big contract left in me.

Time is running out and I do want to win trophies. I don't want to play football for 15 years and not have one trophy or one medal.

I will say this too, I will play up north. I don't know exactly when but I will get back up north and play some football somewhere. I have been away for over 10 years now and I don't get to see my mum that often.

I'm not saying I want out, but if something came to me that was concrete, I'd have no qualms about voicing my opinions to anyone at the club.

I don’t know how much longer I might have at this level. I’m not going to be stupid enough not to try and get the most out of it β€” medals, trophies and salary.

Anyone who thinks this is primarily for money, that is not the case. But I know what I am worth.

I know that feel.
