Transfer: Summer Transfer Rumors and Discussion Part VIII

[Evilo]

From the reports close to the negociations yes pretty much.
Mbappe chose to become a legend in Paris rather than Madrid. People here can't seem to understand but it's very obvious and there's no need to find excuses or weird reasons.
He can bring its first CL to Paris rather than the zillionth to Madrid.
I've said for years that people here don't understand Mbappe's mindset. He wants to make history. He wants to be remembered. Like being PSG's all-time best goal scorer. Like winning the CL. Then and only then will he leave.

No one becomes a legend of the sport in Paris playing for PSG.

Does he want to be a legend in France or a legend of the game?

Plus, based on that interview it sounds possible, if not likely, he plays his three seasons in Paris and goes to Madrid anyway.

That does not contradict was @Evilo is saying though.

In 3 years, he could have brought the CL to Paris and became their all time leading scorer.

Yeah, maybe. The whole “legend” thing is kind of nebulous. If he wins one CL in Paris and then goes to Madrid, wins three, a bunch of personal accolades more, and is generally remembered as a Madrid player, is he still a PSG legend? There’s no right answer.

I think the legend thing is pretty convenient as an answer, though. He has more power and influence at PSG than he would ever have in Madrid.

That's beyond stupid, but I'll let you analyze your own words.

My point is that, in the grand scheme of things, PSG does not matter. It is all fine and dandy if he wants to become a legend at home, but no one becomes a GOAT by playing Ligue 1 for their entire career. That's why he'll end up leaving at some point. For Madrid or for England, who knows, but he likely won't stay passed his current contract.

I think you can become a GOAT by playing Ligue 1 so long as you put the requisite numbers and win a CL or maybe WC, neither of which I personally would consider necessary.

Fair enough.

Mbappé already has the WC. If he can get a CL in Paris and continue to be dominant in CL, maybe that'll be enough.

Who said he would for his entire career?
His goal is to beat the PSG records, win the CL and then move on to win title elsewhere. Nobody said otherwise.
But he'd become a legend if he wins the CL with PSG. He already has a WC under his belt and will likely win a few more WC/EC/CL before his career is over.

Winning the CL with PSG is the bear minimum at this point. Like, look at the money they have been putting in the squad. Not having won already is underwhelming... but that isn't Mbappé,s fault, of course.

 

[Evilo]

LOL

Galactics won how many CLs again?

If you want to say they underachieved, go right ahead, I won't disagree.

If you want to say that PSG hasn't underachieved in the CL in the last decade, I will just laugh.

 

[Evilo]

Both have. When you spend that much money, you expect a CL.
They came close against Bayern in the final two years ago. Were also victims of some of the most outrageous reffing a couple of times.
Shit the bed last year.

Ah that explains it

She's not the only one saying this.

Terrible goalkeeping by Donnarumma.

EDIT: Just now realizing this was in the wrong thread...

 

[John Pedro]

Amazing potential, a lot of money for a kid from a serie b side but he's world class potential

 

[robertmac43]

Spurs. MOTM performance by Richarlison. Just saying.

I watched. He played well and I'm sure he will have some good moments. I still think the 60 million price tag is poor business and that he will ultimately not live up to it.

We'll see. I think you're wrong.

James Rodriguez too!

 

[Gecklund]

James Rodriguez too!

I forgot he existed. He was so much fun when he was in France and at the WC. Went to RM and just FLAMED OUT.
