Ronaldo going to be pitifully desperate to score later. Hissy fit guaranteed.

Same way most FIFA presidents get elected, keeping the smaller voting federations sweet. He’s massively increased FIFAs revenues and a lot of that money is shared around those federations.

Diatta also plays for Monaco, should do a double deal

Ah ffs

Mbappes parents are from Senegal I think so in theory he could have declared for them

yes

After typing that I remembered them getting mugged off over Eze

I do feel that Spurs are about to experience what we did last summer. Didn’t we agree terms with both Sesko and Ekitike?

Well with SCR it should make it difficult for teams to close the gap on us a Villa. In theory Brighton etc may need to buy or sell quicker as they can’t spread a big sale the same way they could under PSR.

Until we bridge the revenue gap between us and the big 6 we are always going to be very vulnerable to losing our best players to teams either established at the top trophy wise (Liverpool, City) or can simply pay more than we can (Spurs). Same for any team not in that little group.

Unless there is a tweet that I haven’t seen he absolutely hasn’t

The lack of actual detail in that Romano tweet (no talks, no player opinion, no amounts, no approach) makes me feel like it’s the sort of thing you put out to try and smoke out potential suitors. Think we want any big sales if they have to happen to be done early so we can react appropriately.

Another suspect ref hand gesture there

It’s not that though, they simply must be given the chance to match any fee we agree with someone else.

Just thinking is this just a desperate move to avoid there being no Real Madrid players in the Spain team?
