Summer Transfer Shit and Everything Else

[Marc Overmars]

A Saudi club have offered PSG 259m for Mbappe.

Football.

It’s strange enough that a player like Ruben Neves wants to play in Saudi (although I suspect he will be loaned back to Europe). But Mbappe?

A lot of these players they are buying are 30 or over and fair enough if you want to have one last big payday (kind of shits allover the rainbow bollocks LGBT stuff they campaign on though)


But I can’t see how Mbappe would want to go there at the height of his career.

This is the thing, people keep saying Arsenal or whoever can't afford him but seriously what does he want - yet more millions or the chance to play football at the top of his game for an exciting club?

If I was him i'd do the latter and Arsenal would seem like a good prospect, the only question mark being Arteta's dislike of anyone with a bigger reputation than him - he'd probably try to show Mbappe who's boss by having him on the bench or play him at LB ...

Saying we can’t afford him is just a fact, it’s not just us…Real Madrid can’t afford him either. Not fully in his gift to decide his destination.

And still doing the thing when you state an opinion and dress it like an objective fact I see. How does it work, the less evidence there is the more authoritative you make it?. Old habits die hard

ok yes if PSG is setting the price tag, still he can still decide what he gets paid, although even there he's not going to get less - and probably a bit more - than the top earner in the team

as for the other stuff you wrote, give it a reast why don't you stop trying to tell people what they can and can't write, I'm entitled to my view of the type of person Arteta is, which - as previously stated - is based on more evidence than you have (i.e. one carefully edited documentary series) for your own views on his personality which you're so certain about

Oh you’re doing that thing again where you mistake mocking your opinions for trampling on your right to free speech. Of course you’re entitled to your view and I’m entitled to mine that the view is silly

I respect your bravado but it’s not helped when your evidence for claiming Xhaka was a teachers pet was based on the amount of games you go to watch. I had to stop myself from laughing when reading that because I was in the office and I didn’t want to get stared at.

The problem is Arteta doesn’t lack confidence, in some ways it would be better if he did because he wouldn’t so needlessly implement his Galaxy brained tactics. He’s not a people person, so someone being a suck up wouldn’t make much difference to him because I don’t think he requires validation. The lack of eye contact and the closed body language is definitely a sign that he’s not an approachable person, but I think it was Emery who was far more likely to be intimidated and standoffish around big egos.

The offer is for one year with a 700m salary.

He’d then be out of contract and free to join (presumably) Real Madrid next summer.

Absolutely mental but makes a lot of sense really given his current situation with PSG. Everyone wins in this scenario.

Well according to Skysports the Spuds are interested too

Which is a bit like saying I’m interested in the Russian super yachts that were confiscated from oligarchs

Of course I’m interested, doesn’t mean I can afford it
