Why?
Kylian Mbappe | PSG
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
Making an agreement to buy a player this summer and structuring it so you don't actually finalize the transaction until a year or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 year because you can't comply with FFP if it shows up in your balance sheet for the current window is an obvious and blatant circumvention of the rule.
Most boring transfer saga of all time, this lad has done nothing in the game.
Italian teams do this all the time with no punishment, albeit not with a £150m transfer.
Why? The rule says you can't spend more than you generate. If another club is fine with structuring a deal like this, where's the problem? Loans have existed for a long time, there's nothing wrong with it.
It's Unai Emery still the coach. They will
manage to lose to Barca again in hilarious fashion.

@Ecstatic even beyong the money, look at the player we signed that summer: cristiano was not only one of the two best players in the world and the 2008 BoD winner, he was already widely regarded as a top 10/20 all time. Kaka was the BoD 2007 and regarded as a top 3-5 player still. And we did all that despite bleeding money and needing huge bank loans with laughable interest rates
What you're doing now is child's play compared to that
Childish I'd say
I wouldn't say that. In his one full season he's :-
- Scored 26 goals in all competitions, a great portion of them whilst still 17.
- Scored 15 in 17 full starts (12 subs) in Ligue 1
- Scored 6 in 6 in Champions League
- Highest goals per game ration of scoring
What more would you expect him to do in his first full season at 17?
And it's nonsense to believe they're generating the revenue they claim to begin with.
Has PSG actually sold anyone yet?
Well that's another story. Still, rules state pretty clearly that money generated through owners/owners affiliations must represent market value and can't in any case represent more than 30% of total revenue(minus sales of players). So unless UEFA have been looking the other way all along, this isn't an issue at the moment
This kid is the real deal like I've said many times. The price is absolutely crazy and I don't think PSG is the right move for him in a footballing sense. That said, credit to PSG for selling their "project" to such top talent. It helps having an infinite supply of cash from a country that's desperate to have a global impact.
It's still only one season though, foolish to judge a player on one season.
Matuidi
Aurier
Yeah bored of playing always against Barcelona like you against Dortmund!
M'bapp just scored with France

Mbop!
Quickly becoming my favorite non United player. There's just something about him that makes you want to watch him and cheer him on when he gets on the ball.
He will become better than Ronaldo and Messi, it's evident
I really envy PSG to have Mbappe.. amazing talent
Better quality:
Lol
Absolutely, he's so direct and explosive. Reminds me of Rooney when he burst onto the scene.
Thats not an easy finish to put it right in the corner with such ease. Havent seen many 18 y.o. play with such confidence. Amazing !
Mbappe already has more goals than both Ronaldo and Messi when they were the same age.
Just 578 more goals to go then.
Great times indeed! We should meet a few times in the CL in the next 10 years, hopefully in Kiev in may.
Should be pretty good games. I reckon Mbappé will take over the striker spot from Cavani sooner rather than later. Probably next season.
Spanking in 50 goals a year in France for a decade will still leave plenty of room for the doubters.
I'm not a PSG fan, but I do agree with everything you have stated.
We are seeing some serious sour grapes (envy, jealousy) on this forum.
Mbappe reminds me more of Brasilian Ronaldo at 17/18 rather than Rooney at same age. Whilst Rooney did have explosiveness and directness, he didn't have the ball control and technique of Mbappe. Nostalgic eyes will always exercise a touch of historical revision when it comes to these things, but I've re-watched quite a bit of the old Rooney stuff from Everton/United early days and you can clearly see the same level of technique and close control then in comparison to the Rooney of maturity. With Rooney, his explosion, acceleration and directness were standout. Mbappe is more akin to the Brasilian. Similar physical traits and similar technical ones. I'd say Ronaldo slightly edges it, but Mbappe is ahead of Rooney as far as technical ability is concerned.
Why do people always bring up the jealousy card when a plastique club gets criticised or disliked? I can only speak for myself but I never want my club to be run like PSG, even if it would mean having far superior players on the pitch. I rather have my club lose it´s best player every single season and only have a fraction of their trophies in the cabinet than to be run like that.
The reason for that is that as a supporter the emotional pay off (still the most prominent thing for me that keeps me in this rather corrupt sport) of victories and titles would feel rather hollow. For the lack of a better word, they would not feel earned. PSG does not need to do a better job than others to have success: they don´t need to scout better, develop better, strategise better or negotiate better. There is no thrill in the decisions involved as the margin of error is nearly completely erased. They just get handed ridiculous amounts of cash every Summer by basically being bankrolled by a nation. They simply win the lottery every Summer and at the end of the day I will have far more respect for a selfmade millionaire than a person who just picked the right numbers and got lucky.
He's fecking sick. Sick.
He is a beast. Would take him over Neymar, the hype is real
Chelsea and Citeh are one thing, but PSG has just taken it to a whole different level.
It all just feels very hollow, I understand the fans are giddy but still there is so much wrong with this.
Only little benefit I can see from this is the Spanish two not having first dibs on all the stars anymore, since PSG will swoop in and double the offer and triple the salary.
Perhaps the duopoly of the Spanish two being threatened is what UEFA finally needs to start making FFP real, they can't have their two favourites in Spain losing out.

No, he really wasn't.
The real question I want to know if how France keep producing all these top quality players yet England, which has a larger population, can't!
Your club got bought by an American billionaire and you've broken the world record fee last year getting one of the best midfielder that a lot of clubs wanted by paying extra. You don't get to judge other clubs just because an American got to you before a Saudi/Qatari/Russian/etc.
Surely he didn't actually mean that
France has a larger population than England.
