The Soccer Thread (Version 13) — Winter World Cup Edition

A Qatari sale to the Saudis. *fart noise*

 

I’m confused by PSG signing Mbappe to a 2 year contract with a player option for a 3rd year and then getting furious that Mbappe would decide not to exercise the option. Why agree to that in the first place? I assume that they wanted to be able to say that they had him, Messi and Neymar under contract for the World Cup.

 

Panama might want to start marking players on crosses.

 

Dr. Evil voice:

 

He has reportedly turned down the move.

 

Good for him. I mean, how much money does anyone need anyway? Nothing's worth the price of your integrity.

 

Damn forget pitching/QB/batting/hoops lessons, load up on the beautiful game lessons.

 

That's a lot of orange slices.

 

Especially when you play for a feel good team like PSG.

 

Yeah, I mean, this wasn't a morality play from M'bappe. He already took the petrobucks. But he only wants Madrid.

 

And as hard as it is to get the truth from any soccer transfer rumors news, he basically pocketed a transfer fee from PSG by staying and Madrid is going to do the same next year if he leaves on a free. PSG can’t sit him all season — especially not with the eyes of the sporting world on Paris with the Olympics coming up.

 

They shit heels? I'm new to the overseas soccer itch and only started following Tottenham and the EPL last year.
