I'll believe it when I'm in the room.

No one else was in the room where it happened.

6/5 Classless Subbans for not getting the Hamilton reference.

You got me. I thought your humour only spanned Scandinavian, Monty python and Benny Hill

I have many guilty pleasures.

Hence the term 'paraphrasing'

The meaning here pretty much remains the same. Clearly Macron had an influence in 2022 or whenever his call was.

Not really. That's hardly how he said it.
Macron has no influence on anything except riding right wing extremists.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Not really. That's hardly how he said it.
Macron has no influence on anything except riding right wing extremists.

The literal translation is this:

'What influence does the president have? On my career, today, in 2023, none.'

Don't be dishonest. If Macron's weight had never meant anything, Mbappe would have never needed to specify '2023' or 'today'.

It doesn't mean that it came down to him only or anything but clearly it mattered.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Not really. That's hardly how he said it.
Macron has no influence on anything except riding right wing extremists.

Well, that's exactly what he said. I did not hear it, but from what you wrote, it implies that Macron had influence in the past.

 

[Savant]

only be a roughly 20m PSR positive if it comes off, but depends on what the Saudi bid is. I've heard between 60m and 75m...

Philogene my dude

yeah. but the only reason they signed Philogene is that we put in a "buy back / matching clause" as well as a 30% of future transfer so the fee was brought down as well.

It doesn't mean that it came down to him only or anything but clearly it mattered.

It's a really common saying in France to say "as of right now". That doesn't mean "as opposed to last year".
I'm not being dishonest.
As he said previously (gently), it's an "honor", but it's more Macron trying to look good than Mbappe being influenced. I don't think Mbappe cared at all.

 

[JPBolts]

Philogene my dude

i don't think he would've agreed to come back when he had other options (Ipswich & Everton) to sign for, if we were just going to use him as a PSR asset.

 

[JPBolts]

well, this came out of nowhere. 40m on Onana. Some serious spending going on now

Villa wants to stick around, eh?

- Sounds like the Calafiori deal is 99% done, but both clubs are still haggling over details in some of the clauses within the deal.

- Lokonga went on a season-long loan to Sevilla with an option to buy. If Sevilla triggers it, there is a 25% sell-on clause automatically attached to it. Deal around 10 million pounds.

- Nuno agreed with a five-year deal with Lazio, so he's also gone. 7.5 million pounds with a sell-on clause included.

- Arsenal rejected a 25 million bid for Nkeitah.

- Arsenal going after youngster Luke Mbete, CB from Man City.

- Gyokeres is being linked to Arsenal, but has an 85 million release clause, however, Sporting is willing to drop his price to 60 million.

Count on Lazio on doing something as stupid as paying money for Nuno Tavares, probably one of the lowest iq players I've ever seen.

Is the keeper that played on loan with Wrexham last season still at Arsenal?

 

[S E P H]

Ih the keeper that played on loan with Wrexham last season still at Arsenal?

Okonkwo was released on a free, I guess Arsenal prefer Hein as a long-term solution. Still sort of weird considering the season he had.

Is returning to Wrexham still not an option for Okonkwo?

 

[S E P H]

Is returning to Wrexham still not an option for Okonkwo?

Could be, but I haven't seen any rumours concerning him. I think he might want to go to a higher league, but that's just speculation on my part.

Arsenal is still going after a more veteran goalkeeper Dan Bentley from Wolves to replace his spot.

Villa wants to stick around, eh?

It’s exactly what they needed, a big bastard in the midfield. Great at aerials which was something that hurt the team last year.
