He will help decide the coach.  

He will have a say on the sporting director.  

He can approve signings and sales

 

All reports seem to suggest Poch and Leonardo will both be leaving so there is definitely legs to this rumour.

There's also talk he wants PSG to sign Dembele and to let Neymar leave. Again, I guess we'll have a better idea as the summer maps out.

It's an horrendous position PSG have put themselves in though if it's indeed true.

The Mbappe deal is a disaster. Absolute disaster for football. 

But

I'm happy he stuck it to Real. Fuck Real.

[MoroccanBlue 5,378]

Romano just tweeted again Alonso still set to leave and entering personal terms with Barcelona. 

[Blues Forever 1,232]

Boubacar Kamara will sign with Aston Villa.

Lets play som Football Manager.  Get the French trio Kounde (55£m), Tchouameni(60£m), Dembele(free), then add Perisic(free), Koulibaly(30£m), Hazard(loan) and Lewa(30£m).  

 

Out:  Jorginho(30£m), ALonso(10£m), Azpi(free), Rudiger(free), Christensen(free), Barkley(15£m), Lukaku (60£m), Pulisic(45£m) and Werner(35£m)

We also have Sarr, Bakayoko, Emerson and Batshuayi that we can sell.

Feel Tchouameni is a huge downgrade from Jorginho.

We HAVE to sign either Aurélien Tchouaméni (my preferred option, but Pool and now, post Mbappe miss-out, Real even more so than before, are both after him hard, so he will be a tough AF pull) or (bite the bullet and pay £100m) Rice this summer.

lol, how so? He is loads more athletic, is just starting to reach into  his potential bag, is FAR better defensively, has great footballing sense and skills, and can play multiple positions.

Jorginho is a human traffic jam and is often overrun defensively.

If we miss out....

Yves Bissouma would be a good replacement for Barkley, Saul, RLC etc

but as a WC (or potentially WC) DMF?

yikes

The disrespect smh. There is no point arguing with someone who downplays a player of Jorginho stature and accomplishment, while elevating Tchouaméni who has done nothing. Ndombele and Bakayoko were all supposed to be the next great thing.

I wouldn’t mind signing Tchouaméni, but how about he proves something before we sell a strong performer on this team.

Can't believe you even replied. 

Like comparing Xavi to Joe Allen.

I would not go that far, but zero chance I would take Jorginho over Tchou for next season

Rapinha release clause £60M now?

Yet Leeds’ Director of Football Victor Orta has poured some cold water on the optimism of culers that a deal might be struck. Speaking to RadioMarca, he had this to say on the matter.

“Fortunately, the person managing his career knows what he is doing and that is Deco [Raphinha’s agent].”

“In this case, he helps me. I can’t say all agents do but in this case he is a help to me. The only target he has placed in front of his client is to help Leeds survive – everything else in the future will come after that.”

Unprompted, Orta wanted to make it clear where things stood with Raphinha’s availability.

“I say this because a transfer guru said that he had a clause, sometimes that guru is wrong. Raphinha does not have a release clause if Leeds stay in the Premier League.”

Thoughts on Antony?
