BREAKING: Mbappe to PSG

https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Kylian-mbappe-monaco-absent-a-metz/826342

Mbappe won't be in the squad facing Metz according to l'Equipe.

Where does Sane, Silva, Silvia, De Bruyne fit into that scheme?

Sterling is quite far down the pecking order now anyway with Bernado Silva's arrival.

Although i will say one thing i'm not sure Pep knows his starting line up yet anyway Mbappe would further complicate that.

Although that's his job to figure that stuff out.

I think he fits more with City than PSG tbh. He and Neymar occupy a lot of the time spaces. More space for him in City.

I don't get the feeling Pep likes Aguero that much either.

I think eventually he wants to move on from i agree, although he won't say such a thing publicly as he's still scoring goals and obviously a club legend.

We'll take Agüero for 10m€ pls.

Could always use a backup

Can finally use Benzema as the Libero he was born to play as

Aguero to Madrid many years later. Nick is gonna say he was right all along.

The way things are going, its just about who has the most money going forward, Man C vs PSG, vs Real, something like that

City have 4 forwards for 3 positions atm. Apparently KDB, Silva, Bernardo, and Gundogan will battle it out for the 2 CM positions.

They're playing a 3-5-2 right now, but Pep complained about the lack of dynamism with that formation, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him return back to a 4-3-3 the moment Mendy returns.

3-5-2:

4-3-3

The thought of the second lineup ffs

Unreal, and by unreal i mean they'll probably concede 50 goals and still win the league.

L'EQUIPE: Mbappe is said to have been expelled from training after a fight with a teammate Andrea raggi. Mbappe then refused to leave practice, however, it was the team and the coach who left the training ground to another area for him.
So, after picking up a fight with leonardo jardim 2 weeks ago, he now gets into another fight with another teammate? pretty sure monaco will be looking for how to ship him off now. Might not be worth the trouble after all.

He refused to leave? Lmao, so after being told to leave he, what, just crossed his arms and pouted until the team left?

Falcao "Common kyli, leave"

Mbappe: "nah brah, you leave"

He didn't move, the *bleep* entire team moved instead


I am proud of him

He'll come home. We'll probably unveil him on the last day of the mercato. And I can't see him telling Ramos to leave the training ground. He'd probably get KO'd before he said a word

Actually it's becoming stupid.  Monaco players complained that he was practicing "TOO HARD" for someone who isn't going to be part of the team.  Raggi took exception to being made look bad.  He got into it with Mbappe.  Since Mbappe is in fact leaving, Monaco asked him to leave training.  Well, the issue is that, contractually, they can't ask him to leave practice unless it's a disciplinary issue or if they intend to demote him to the youth team.  IF they demote him to the youth team, he has an exit clause that triggers ...  so that's not an option and they had no cause to discipline him (he could make a fuss about it to the league).

Being a smart kid, he made his position clear and Monaco were forced to move the entire team.

Hilarious.

When teams get too greedy and f around, stuff like this happens.  You bought the kid for nothing and he's getting you 200 mil 3 years later.  Just call it a day and wish him luck lol.

His fight with Jardim was the same thing:  I'm fit, I'm under contract, I'm training hard = Why am I not playing?  Don't make it seem like you're doing me a favor because I didn't ask for it.

it's tense.

Monaco actually want Mbappe to act up it seems.  Maybe so they can justify the move to PSG as Mbappe just being a bad kid... but for what?  They have 10k fans max lol. He came to camp on time and fit, never missed practice, was available for every preseason and regular season game... and hasn't said a word one way or another to the media or public. It's not like Dembele who went on strike. It's as if they want him to go on strike or do something similar.

Amazing how a club following the terms of a signed contract and a coach having to move a whole training session because of a player's shitty attitude becomes "the club being greedy".

No.  That's false.  Mbappe followed the terms of his contract.  That's why Monaco was forced to move.  He's been following his contract to the letter all along.

Either they needed to charge him with a disciplinary reason or demote him to CFA... otherwise, they're contractually forced to allow him to train with the first team.  The wording, however, stated that he doesn't need to train with the team specifically... but on first team facilities.  Hence, what happened.

Also, Raggi started the fight.  A friend of mine was there. Mbappe did a trick move on him and Raggi went crazy.

Also keep in mind that these things happen all the time... other than the team moving lol. The writers of these stories are PSG homers. They're tying to generate drama so that there's pressure for Monaco to make the move now.

If it originated from other sources, I would thing there's more to it.

I like this "kid" so damn much. Talent, intelligence, attitude... he has got it all. A wind of freshness in this new generation of footballers that i despise.

Mbappé keeps training hard because he wants to maintain shape, what's the problem ? If what Sports say is true, then Raggi is the idiot. I wouldn't be surprised if notorious hot head Kamil Glik was involved as well

Mbappe is the architect of his problem. He was set to move to Man city according to bbc, but when he saw the wages psg were offering he changed his mind. Btw, i thought he said cristiano ronaldo was his idol and he grew up admiring zidane? Where they all lies? Isnt it only natural that he leaves monaco to go play with your idol in the biggest team in the world while makiog a hella money as an 18 year old? But no, he's scared of competition (i thought he was suppose to be world class) and now he suddenly wants to earn a few bucks more and to play with neymar as his new idol.

Raggi is the veteran on the team and a team leader. Nothing Jardim could do but back him up since Mbappe is leaving. One of those unnecessary situations.

He's a freakin kid. 18 years old. He just wants to play. All this drama and intrigue are due to his agent, Monaco and the clubs wanting to buy him.

I love Monaco... but like Dortmund, they're being a little bitch here. Take the 100s of millions and move on. You're not an elite club.

He's being offered 2x the wages at PSG.  He grew up a PSG fan.  His only issue with PSG was ambition and, after the Neymar purchase, that concern went away forever.  His entire family lives in Paris.

Madrid could have had him before the Neymar purchase but Monaco's fee was too high and they didn't want to buy until they had unloaded Morata.

Why should he go to Madrid for less when his true favorite team is offering more?  Not to mention he was a CR fan first and followed Madrid for that reason.  He is not a Madrid fan.
