We are going to lose him to real either way. Don't understand your argument. If we don't try to get into the bidding war he will go to real obviously. If we do enter either we get him or jack up the price. A relative win by simple logic. I was mentioning Dybala because of the similarity with Mbappe. Central players and goal scorers.

Well dont need the Neymar money to try and make Real up their bid if losing him either way so should just do it regardless. Lets just do it for every player they want and celebrate the 'wins'.

My argument was fairly clear that Mbappe would be much more difficult and expensive to get than a lot of people are making out.

Barca wouldnt play Mbappe or Dybala centrally which would be another obstacle to getting them.

Yep, no trouble for PSG : because of the amount of player they can still sell : Lucas Moura, Serge Aurier, Gregorz Krychowizackckjehugdekk, Blaise Matuidi, Angel Di Maria, and because the FFP allow Paris to spread the cost of the transfer on the length of the contract : a 5 years-deal for Neymar will cost 30m of salary + 44m for the release clause = 74m each year.

No, they're not spreading the cost of the transfer over the length of the contract because they have to trigger a release clause. They have to pay the €222 million up front in order to make the transfer happen. And THAT is why they would get in trouble with the FFP.

Sure it is still worked out across the contract for the value of the transfer and wages. In terms of FFP.

Mbappe has played out left for Monaco too when Falcao goes center, he goes out on the left like vs Man City.

They have to try now, get every French player who have played for the club, Nike, Mendes, whoever it takes to convince him to get him.

They have a gun to their heads now and need a signing like him or Hazard. They got to try.

Of course we need the money. How can you bid a 100M for a player if the budget is only 60M. Why would we do that every player? We will only do it for the players who can actually help us. Point is if he is available we have to try, just because we know he will likely go to real doesn't mean we have to stop. If we are interested we have to to try. Either we get him or the price is jacked.

And for the last point that is only temporary, they will probably replace Suarez in the center in one or two seasons. Anyway central player is not a priority this season. Midfilder is a priority and if neymar leaves a winger too. But if we want to plan for future and have the money to do it then try for Mbappe or Dybala.

Mbappe is a striker more than LW and would bet thats where he wants to play if moves.

Agree Barca should try but as said think would be more expensive and less likely than some people think.

Just bid for him and worry about imaginary money at a later date and keep '

Who said about not trying to sign him?

Schadenfreude, schadenfreude everywhere from not just Real Madrid fans but almost all other fans watching this saga enthusiastically and seeing us being ditched and weakened gleefully.

We will just grit our teeth and pull it through. Perhaps this will be a blessing in disguise, it will force our big wigs to think about acquiring young promising talents not only to replace Neymar but to plant the seeds for post-Messi transition too. I sincerely hope.

I don't get this, likely or unlikely deal.

Any player can change his mind. He won't get a starting role at Madrid either and likely replace Bale there next year at RW. At Barca Mbappe can have a starting role at LW and in two years be the CF.

He'll be the future of the team along with another signing like Dembele who's also a very close friend of his.

No matter what, the club got to go after Hazard, Dembele, Mbappe, Dybala and sign two of them even if it means selling Gomes and Denis or Rafinha.

They just got to go all in now. This is ridiculous and embarrassing for the club, and definitely not good marketing-wise or when it comes to our sponsors either.
